    Fortran Fortran complex numbers and do loops

    I have a very simple question, but have been unable to find an answer for it. When using fortran 90 can you use a DO loop to calculate a complex number? For example: [code] COMPLEX FUNCTION forwards (tincdum,tstartdum,tenddum,fdum,ydum,idum,wdum&...

    How Much Higher Must the Initial Hill Be Than the Loop?

    Homework Statement A roller coaster begins with a steep downhill descent followed by a vertical loop. How much higher does the initial hill have to be to than the height of the loop so that the riders experience a force of 1G keeping them in their seats at the top of the loop? Assume that...

    Will the Large Hadron Collider refute nonstring theories of quantum gravity?

    So, what are the theories' predictions which are going to be tested on LHC? And if they won't be found, Does it mean they will be refuted or not?

    Use Kirchoff's loops rule in the circuit?

    The emf given -\frac {d \Phi}{dt} produces a non conservative field right? Then is it right to use Kirchoff's loops rule in the circuit? Also if a coil with self induction L, is kept in a constant magnetic field perpendicular to the plane of the coil, and the flux associated through the coil...

    C++ Classes: Loops in Constructor

    Hello! I'm experimenting with classes in C++. It works fine for now, but there is something I can't find an explanation for. I tried to develop a 'matrix' class, and I overloaded some operators in order to define addition or multiplication for matrices. This works like a charm, except for the...

    How do ‘quantum loops’ differ from ‘Wilson lines’?

    As I attempt to understand the conflict between Quantum Loop Gravity [QLG] and the various types of string theory, I noticed that quantum loops appeared to be very similar to Wilson lines, sometimes called Wilson loops. Speculation: relating [QLG] to twistor string theory [TST]. 1 -...
