Einstein was wrong, and should be Cartanized! (:D this is professional research) that's what I get from Derek's paper----classical 1915 Gen Rel is wrong because it uses a vintage 1850s manifold which has flat tangent spaces that don't roll. It should be moved over and put on a Cartan manifold...

Monday afternoon I have a final in a statics and dynamics course. The professor announced that the questions were going to be right from an old professional engineering exam. Can anyone give me some examples of the kinds of problems that are usually asked or direct me to some online study...

Berkeley writes : " Note that the dynamics of the Universe are not determined entirely by the geometry (open, closed or flat) unless the Universe contains only matter. In our Universe, where most of Omega comes from dark energy, this relation between the mass density, spatial curvature and...

So I'm in process of becoming an EMT-B, but this being NYC means uncertainty in getting the desired position during favorable time scales. What other positions are available to me while I'm still in school and particularly one that may need certification? I was also thinking about mortician...

There is a smooth real-valued function f(x) defined on the positive reals such that, for all x>0 and for all y>0, the following identities are always true: f(y) + 1/[(x^2)f(x)] = S/(xy) f(x) – f(S) = y/(xS) 1/[(y^2)f(y)] - 1/[(S^2)f(S)] = x/(yS) S is merely a function of x and y and...

Hi, I was wondering what the "big" math people here think about a correllation between recreational problems and performance in professional math fields. I hope this isn't too much of a stupid question. But this is what I was thinking. I was wondering if people who do well on the AIME, USAMO...
