I am searching for a site that enables me to plot a function of multiple variables in 3D form. Say f(x1,x2,x3,x4) and I wish to plot this function as a 3D graph for x1 and x2 where x3 and x4 are kept constant.

Hi There, I'm a new member, so apologies if I've posted this in the wrong area. I've been working through the ASME STS-1-2006 Steel Stack Standard, particularly the Vortex Shedding section. I've come across this nasty integral which is doing my head in, and we wondering if anyone would mind...

Hi! I am looking for a very rigorous book on some of the topics covered in Calculus of Multiple Variables. My University uses the last part of Adams "Calculus: a complete course" and I found the presentation therein more fit for people needing to know enough to perform the calculations than for...

Simply put, can you find the function which extremizes the integral J[f]=\iint L\left(x,y,f(x),f(y),f'(x),f'(y)\right) \,dx \,dy Where ##f## is the function to be extremized, and ##x## and ##y## are independent variables? A result seems possible by using the usual calculus of variation...

I was reading over a textbook that stated the following, where y(s,t) = v(x(s,t),t) \frac{\partial y}{\partial t} = \frac{\partial v}{\partial x}\frac{\partial x}{\partial t} + \frac{\partial v}{\partial t} and \frac{\partial^2y}{\partial t^2} = \frac{\partial^2 v}{\partial x^2}\left (...

Hi, I have some experimental data from a colleague which has been collected with different values for 7 parameters. It isn't nice, as in it's not as if 6 of the parameters were held fixed while the seventh was adjusted. Beyond that, I don't have much data. I'm not up on my statistical...

How to compute E[X|Y1,Y2]? Assume all random variables are discrete. I tried E[X|Y1,Y2] = \sum_x{x p(x|y1,y2) but I'm not sure how to compute p(x|y1,y2] = \frac{p(x \cap y1 \cap y2)}{p(y1 \cap y2)} If it is correct, how can I simplify the expression if Y1 and Y2 are iid?

Hey Guys, I am converting my code from MATLAB to fortran. Now in MATLAB it is rather convenient to write a function which returns multiple variables. I believe a function in fortran can return only one variable. I think a subroutine can return multiple variables. I was not able to find any...
