    How can I accurately measure my own intelligence?

    So, I've done extensive IQ tests and other tests regarding logical and spatial puzzles, picture puzzles, language tests, and other tests I can't remember. It was done some months ago by a psychologist, took about 7 hours to do, but I'm not really happy with the result. While the results...

    Help I need to find the angle measure of <ABC.

    Help! I need to find the angle measure of <ABC. But i can't use arcsine, arccosine, or arctangent. Is there any other way to find theta without those or does anyone know the equation for one of the inverse functions i.e. arcsine would be favorable?

    Refractive index to measure temperature

    Here is the question: A factory uses a beam of light to allow workers to visually check the temperature of a liquid. A semi-circular crown glass (refractive index (n) =1.75) block is placed in a liquid X whose refractive index n changes with temperature T (in °C) according to the formula: n =...

    Does a wristwatch measure imaginary time?

    This is from "Exploring Black Holes" by Taylor and Wheeler. It's a very good book but I struggle not with the math, but the explanations (sometimes) On page B-13 is a frame called "Metric for the Rain Frame", which is a transformation of the Schwarzschild Metric from "bookkeeper coordinates"...

    Is a measure space necessary for integration?

    Integrals are typically associated with measure spaces. For example, the Lebesgue measure for the Lebesgue integral and the Jordan measure for the Rieman integral. But it seems like it should be possible to define an analogue of integration on something weaker than a measure space. So, what is...

    Temperature is the measure of average kinetic energy of an object

    Temperature is the measure of average kinetic energy of an object. If I put a thermometer in a pencil case, and I throw the pencil case away, the reading does not change. However, the kinetic energy of any particles of the pencil case did vary. Why?

    Understanding the Concept of Disorder in Basic Statistics

    Ok, so we have a parameter X say. Now, we have a mean x-bar, that is the mean, X being random. Now, by basic statistics, the variation , that is V(X) = E (X)^2 - (x-bar)^2 is the disorder. Is it so? The interpretation of the disorder by me is correct or not? I have nice property of...
