Hello everyone, today our professor did this homework problem for us, just different numbers. This is the question: You produce an image of the Sun on a screen, using a thin lens whose focal length is 20.6 cm. What is the diameter of the image? (The mean radius of the Sun is 6.96x10^8 m and...

Hello everyone! My professor was going over a problem real fast for the exam and now that i went over it again, I'm lost on how he did this last step. He is using a method called Abels Theorum. THe problem says: Find a second solution of the given differential equation: t^2y''+3ty' + y = 0...

Hello everyone, we found 3 igan values: 1, 2, 3 for the last case: 3 we came out with 0 -1 0 0 -1 0 2 -2 -2 he wrote b = 0, a = c; then said igan vecotr is: 0 1 1 but clearly shoouldn't it be: 1 0 1 ?

Hello everyone, I'm studying an example my professor did, and it isn't making sense to me... here is the orignal matrix: THe oringal matrix is: T[s] = [3s-t] [t]...[2t+7s] he wants to determine if the following trnasformation is Linear. Here is what he wrote on the board...

I have always had the idea of becoming a physics professor after I graduate and go to graduate school, but the more I hear about it the more weary I am of this happening. I go to University of Cincinnati which isn't really known for its physics or anything but see that all of the professors went...

I was arguing with him for about 30 minutes in his office and finally convinced him to raise my mid term grade by a (total) of 14%. :biggrin: :smile: I now have a B (in any other grading system it'd be an A, but you need 90% to get an A in this class - stupid)

Something I often wonder, as I want to one day be a math prof...

Hello all, I am working on a question as part of an assignment, and while I think I have the correct solution, would just like to check if I have gone about this the right way. Question: "At the beginning of each term, a physics professor named Dr. Zeus shows the class his expectations of...

either way, you can help! so w=change in KE, and W=the line integral from 0 to s of FdotdS(I never learned how to use the latex thingy, so bear with me, the question isn't that hard...) So then he wrote KE=lineintegral from 0-S, d/dt(gamma*mv)ds and then from there you end up with...

So I was at the bar, and all of the sudden this beautiful gorgeous blonde starts snapping her fingers at me and calling my name. Wouldn't you know it, it was my 27 year old psych professor from last semester. I think she was a little bit tipsy cause she kissed me. But you know what they say...

I am currently enrolled in a Diff Eq course at a community college. My instructor has an MS in Math and Electrical engineering which I assumed meant he knew how to think but apparently he doesn't. The problem is this, we are solving differential equations using the LaPlace Transform for...

How much money does a university research professor generally earn per year?

Here I'd like to present theories of professor of physico-chemistry, Ph.D. Najip Valitov from Russia, who discovered new theories after Einstein. Part of his discoveries are described in his web-page: [PLAIN]www.bashedu.ru/ValitovNKH.htm[/URL] In 1972 professor Valitov, who lived in the...

A math professor was staying in a hotel before attending a math conference. When he came out of his room, to go to the conference, he found out that the total of room numbers to his left was equal to the total of room numbers to his right. The total numbers of rooms per floor were about 300 and...

Announcement : Frank Wilczek is giving a talk tonight at the Ohio State University. This will be a great opportunity to attend a not-too-technical talk by a brilliant physicist. So if you happen to be in the Central Ohio region tonight, you might want to come take a look-see...

Hi, just some advice searching here. I'm doing my classes online through this guy from M.I.T. http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Physics/8-02Electricity-and-MagnetismSpring2002/VideoLectures/index.htm Any comments? Anybody here about him? he seems pretty good so far.

Ok so I love tutoring math and I am currently a math major at a University in the US. In the past I have tutored college algebra, pre-calculus, trigonometry, calculus 1, 2, 3, differential equations, and even some lower maths(pre-algebra, intermediate algebra, technical mathematics). Currently I...

I am a little terrified at the moment as my Calc 2 teacher both mumbles and has a heavy accent. Anyways this is what caused me the most anxiety about the first class could someone please explain to me wtf he was trying to say by this? these are two piece-wise functions F(x) 1 x...

At the end of class today, my Physics II professor asked us this simple question to answer over the weekend. The question: "So many people are interested in mathematics and physics, but why are there so few people getting degrees in these basic sciences?" I just wanted to hear what kind of...

Hi there! I'm a first year student and found quite interesting the MIT on-line video lectures on electromagnetism. http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Physics/8...tures/index.htm In one these lectures given by Dr. Walter Lewin it is explained how all college books and teachers wrogly use...

September 18, 2003 Thinking About Neoconservatism By Kevin MacDonald Over the last year, there’s been a torrent of articles on neoconservatism raising (usually implicitly) some vexing issues: Are neoconservatives different from other conservatives? Is neoconservatism a Jewish movement...
