Plots Definition and 133 Threads

This definitely isn't a homework question as the work is already done, I'm just trying to make my presentation neater for some reports I'm turning in. I am comparing theoretical data collected from a filter, to the actual data collected. I want to overlay the two to make the comparison. I am...

What frequency are they referring to when they plot magnitude versus frequency in a bode plot of a control system? I don't understand where frequency comes from in control systems. I've researched this and I'm still very confused by what is meant by frequency.

If the B-mode sky plots could be Fourier transformed what would be a plot of the lowest order B-mode harmonic plotted on a sphere look like? I guess we need two functions of spherical coordinates, one function for amplitude at points on a sphere and one function for the orientation at the...

Hi all, I would be greatful is someone could kindly enlighten me as to the correct interpretation of the appended bode plots. My understanding when interpreting bode plots is that we desire 0 gain where the phase is equal to or exceeds 180 degrees (marginally stable / unstable). In...

The data points of the polarization of the CMB are a magnitude and an orientation that varies between 0° and 180°. What kind of mathematical field is that, not quite a vector field? Thanks for any help!

I have been working hard to get the Dark Matter exclusion plots. In most of the papers (arxiv:0808.3607), I found that the relation betweem WIMP mass and WIMP cross section is : σ is directly proportional to (μ/μp)^2 σ=cross section μ=reduced mass of WIMP and target nucleus μp=reduced...

hi! i'm beginner in the subject of vibrations. i'm trying to understand the waterfall plots. i have attached a waterfall plot. can someone please help me to understand it? waterfall plots are used when the operating speeds are varying (run up or coast down). in this plot, as the...

Hey PF! I have a test tomorrow and some of the material is on the basics of RL and RC circuits set up as high pass or low pass filters. Does a High pass filter bode plot look the same whether it's RC and RL? Same with a low pass? Can anybody to an online resource of what bode plots look like...

Is there anyone here who can, as simple as possible, tell me how a webwork plot works? I have read that the only known writer who can master this type of writing is the little known author Harry Stephen Keeler. I have lately been immensly interested in the works by writers such as Harry...

The expositions for a normal probability plot (aka normal quantile plot) (in which observed probabilities are plotted against theoretical probabilities, or sometimes the other way around, to get a rough check as to whether a set of data is normally distributed by checking linearity) are not too...

Hello all. I have two questions. 1] How do poles and zeros relate to bode plots? What happens at a pole or zero? 2] Can you come up with a rough sketch of a bode plot if you know the following (without having to use the transfer function)?: - Zeros - Poles...

Hello, I have got these formulas used for adiabatic process. Now I would like know how the plots look like. A) y=p*V^κ , where κ is Heat capacity ratio B) y=T*V^(κ-1) C) y=T^κ*p^(1-κ) NOTE: κ (Heat capacity ratio) > 1 Thank you

I saw a picture of what it might look like when I was researching it, but I'm confused about something. The picture's caption said that the complex coordinates were darkened as their value got larger, leading to a helpful graph, but I do not understand what scale they used. For my program, I...

I'm doing some data analysis for a research project. Using the program R I'm trying to create level plots. Essentially 2D contour plots without the lines. I've trawled the Internet and tutorials for days and can only find tutorials that use data from a package. I have the raw data, x, y and...

Below are a couple of problems given, 3 and 4. They are about drawing bode plots based on a given transfer function. I am wondering if anybody could please let me know if I drew the Bode plots right or wrong? Also I am not sure about how to find the crossover frequency. On task 3 I calculated it...

Hello, Why people use semi-log and log-log plots? What are they advantage? Linear plots are more convenient as they show the direct relationship between x and y variables, aren't they? Thanks.

I've had this problem many times in the past, and haven't thought of a way to fix it. Sometimes when I plot a function that requires quite a bit of effort on mathematica's part, (for example, one time the function was a sum of about a thousand terms, each of which was multiplied complex terms...

I have a question: hope this fits under "Calculus" topic. I am trying to embed vector graphics in my Word documents. MathCAD does this quite nicely for xy-plots, but MathCAD is awkward for constructing vector fields like those you'd find in electrodynamics. I could use Maple, but those embeds...
