Let be the Hamiltonian Energy equation: H\Psi= E_{n} \Psi then let be the partition function: Z=\sum_{n} g(n)e^{-\beta E_{n}} where the "Beta" parameter is 1/KT k= Boltzmann constant..the question is..let,s suppose we know the "shape" of the function Z...could we then "estimate"...

how to reformat & partition the HDD ?? hi, My computer has become very slow & sluggish & fully crammed up! So i want to reformat my HDD & make new partitions for proper management of data. Please tell me how to do it through dos ( ie without using any additional softwares like partition...

This is a question about thermal physics. There's this partition function Z = sum over all states s of the system ( exp(-E_s/T)). And its just used to calculate the probability of any state by taking the Boltzman factor exp(-E_s/T) of that state and dividing over the partition function. Theres...

I got a problem by finding an proper explanation. The Boltzmann factor is defined as P_j=\frac{1}{Z}e^{-\beta E_j} I know, this is a probability distribution. but what exactly does it mean? Wikipedia says: "The probability Pj that the system occupies microstate j" (link) But that doesen...

Let X be a set. A partition of X is a subset \pi \subseteq P(X) so that for every x \in X there is precisely one A \in \pi so that x\in A. If R is an equivalence relation on X, then \pi_R = {R(x): x \in X} is a partition. If \pi is partition of X then R_\pi= \bigcup A x A is an...

I have 160 gb hdd and i partitioned it 32 gb(fat32) chunks using extended partitions. I am now using windows xp. Can windows 98 detect this hdd?

Folks, I'm running Windows XP, but now I need to format my hard drive. The only potential difficulty that I foresee is having to deal with the NTFS partition. I'd like to get rid of it, install Windows ME and then upgrade it back to XP. I've read that the only way to delete any NTFS...

Hi, i'm having trouble with a thermal physics problem relating to the partition function and i was wondering if anyone could help me out. the problem is as follows: (a) Consider a molecule which has energy levels En=c|n| , where n is a vector with integer components. Compute the partition...

I partitioned my hard drive into two sectors (I installed windows on one).. it turns out to be too small (sp2 makes a backup of the whole system :rolleyes:).. I'm at a loss how to redistribute the size though :rolleyes: Anyone a clue? I'm running Windows XP (I guess I need to go into BIOS at...

The Q is: show that the number of partitions of n within Z+ where no summand is divisible by 4 equals the number of partitions of n where no even summand is repeated Here is what I got so far Let the partition where no summand is divisible by 4 be P1(x) Let the partition where no even...

I reading a great book called Symmetry by Roy McWeeny. For those that love Dover Books this one's a gem. Anyway, I have a question. How do you partiton a particular group into distinct classes? The author was discussing the symmetry group C3v the rotation, and reflection of a...

I have a major problem. Let me explain everything from the beginning. I got a 120 GB HD and decided to partition it to three section. One section had about 80 GB w/o an OS. The second was 20 GB with XP Home and the third 10 GB with XP Professional. Therefore, while booting, the computer will ask...

Years ago I read in the daily paper(!) an account of a new theorem in partition theory. The key was that the guy had had the idea of proving theorems that were not for all cases but for all but a finite number of cases. The theorem had something about the number of ways to partion (prime?)...

If a partition P(n) gives the number of ways of writing the integer n as a sum of positive integers, comparatively how many ways does the partition P'(n) give for writing n as a sum of primes?

does p.t concern also with the multiples of a number, for example: the multiples of 4 are 2*2 and 4*1 meaning two? p.s i know that partition theory is concerned in the sums of a number (the partition of 4 is 5).
