Master Definition and 203 Threads

I managed to go five and a half decades without a pet more sophisticated than a fish, and I have no family who has had pets either. Now I find myself spending my days and nights with a (highly intelligent) dog, 'Luna'. (My son became owner of a dog and now we sit while he goes to work.) So I...

I am really confused by this question as there are multiple possible answers of this question, so I am asking this. There is very minimum role of GFS master in writing and reading operations.. You can either go through these or just tell me what is the correct answer if you are bored to go...

Several users received email warnings of unfamiliar login attempts and even logins to their LastPass account. The question arises whether the LastPass master password has been leaked in a data breach. According to LastPass, the passwords were not leaked and this was a regular "stuffing attack"...

Hello! (Wave) I want to solve the recurrence relation $$T(n)=4T{\left( \frac{n}{3} \right)}+n \log{n}.$$ I thought to use the Master Theorem. We have $a=4, b=3, f(n)=n \log{n}$. $\log_b{a}=\log_3{4}$ $n^{\log_b{a}}=n^{\log_3{4}}$ How can we find a relation between $n^{\log_{3}{4}}$ and...

Does anyone here have a masters degree in engineering, and then a second one in systems engineering ? I'm considering it because I can get help with the costs. I do systems engineering on electrical systems. So I see some possible advantages to getting both. I already have a masters in...

Here is what I have:

How much understanding is enough to truly master a course? I'm a 2nd year physics student. Got a so-so GPA.But sometimes I feel like getting an A in a course isn't really enough. For instance , I got an A in Calculus II but today I don't even remember how to derive a general form of power...

I'm trying to understand equation 209 on page 81 here: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1204.4325.pdf Here's what I understand so far: - We are to imagine a system in a superposition of |X> and |X'>, where these describe distinct particle configurations. - On the RHS of the eqn, the first term is...

I started my Ph.D program this year in material science and engineering at a reputed school in the US. After a month I realized that I am more interested in how electrical engineers approach nanotechnology/microelectronics. I liked the idea of applying science to optimize devices and make...

first state whether it can be solved using the Master Theorem, and if it can then use that. Otherwise, use the Akra-Bazzi formula. 1. T(n) = 3T([n/3])+n 2. T(n) = T([n/4])+T([n/3])+n 3. T(n) = 2T([n/4])+√n

Does anyone know a good book on master-slave schemes in dynamic systems? I'm on a dynamics book covering oscillators and it kind of glances over the topic and expects me to know it. I've done previous basic dynamics books and haven't seen it in them and checking on the internet I have found very...

I think I've made sense of this. m: master, s:slave Fm/Am = Fs/As Fs = As(Fm/Am) Fs = (As)ρghm So with that said, if the height of the master cylinder increases then the F produced by the slave will also increase. Anyone see any problems here? My concern is that P = ρgh isn't applicable...

Summary: Do physicists really need to master mathematical modeling? Do physicists really need to master mathematical modeling? As far as I know Mathematical modeling is a separate discipline form Physics?

I study of interaction between a system with a reservoir considering a weak coupling between them. I consider a bosonic bath, the initial state are separable and the operator of interaction between the system and bath is linear in the displacements of the oscillators. . In the book "Quantum...

I would like to ask if anyone has been admitted to a graduate school(US) straight to 2nd year after a theoretical masters MSc degree in the UK. I am asking because I would really like to study in the US, preferably on top universities but I don't want to waste another year taking essentially...

This is my first post so don't be too harsh. I was just looking to get additional opinions in order to make a more informed decision. Since I always had the idea of becoming an astrophysicist I enrolled in Bsc in physics engineering (5 years) here, and due to being the top student I was invited...

Throughout a degree as a physics major, you take a bunch of math courses, and it's safe to say that you should have a good understanding of all the calculus and algebra courses. But what math subject/specific course should I master at a spiritual level? Especially ones that are needed for...

What are are your thought on the future of energy on Earth? Personally, in the long term I believe that Dyson spheres would be more useful and allow us to terraform other planets and became a multiplanetary species much quicker and efficiently, but what are your thoughts?

Hello! I just completed my honors from Bangladesh with a 2.90 gpa in Physics. I want to get a masters and if possible a PhD as well in Biomedical physics. Would it be possible for me to get accepted in any university in US with full funding if I manage to get a high GRE and TOEFL score?

I'm pursuing a MSEE, I was wondering how much GPA matters, if it matters at all? Please be honest. I'm questioning it, because my credits towards my degree do not expire until they are six years old. Should I use the time from which I have enough credits to graduate and earn my degree to the...

Based on what I’ve read here, I really have to absolutely kill linear algebra. Maybe some abstract algebra, too. And based on all this talk of manifolds, I’m guessing some topology and differential geometry is in order. Those of you who know GR, can you offer a math subject prescription so I...

I just got a taught Master offer in Physics (part-time mode for 2 years) and I don't know what to do... First of all, I have a BSc in Applied Physics which I graduated in 2011. I study Physics because it is interesting. I felt happy when I got to understand something new (about the universe)...
