    Mathematica Defining one matrix in terms of another in Mathematica with FOR loop

    THIS ISN'T WORKING AT ALL! I'm trying to define a matrix M in terms of a predefined matrix N by using the following for loop: For[a=1,a<=12,a++,M[[a,a]]=N[[1,a]]] So I just want the diagonal of M to be the first row of N. But this is not working at ALL. Does anyone see what I'm doing wrong?

    Knot Tie-ing: Adjustable loop and knot that gets more secure as its pulled

    I do some rock climbing, and the most common knot you see is the double-figure 8: That's because you can tie it at any point in the rope to create a loop for other climbers to latch into. It also gets tighter as you pull from any direction: the loop or either of the two single ropes coming...

    Is it safe to loop the inverter's output neutral to loop with the mains neutal?

    Is it safe to loop the inverter's output neutral to loop with the mains neutal?? Guys, I need a help on this. I thought that it is rather safe to loop one of the output terminal of the inverter to loop with the mains supply inverter, so that there doesn't arise the need of extra neutral wiring...
