Programming Definition and 1000 Threads

For my final project I need to code a program to handle a bookstore. Because the Java console isn't meant for stuff like this I decided to make my own UI. The inventory, reports, and cashier section each get their own tab. Each tab has a console output screen, a box showing what you just...

Hello, I am a physics student and I am currently writing my Bachelor thesis in theoretical Physics. A thing which has sometimes crossed my mind over the past months is this: I have always loved computers and programming. I always find it fun to solve some programing related problem. E.g...

hello, One can wonder what is the relation between the title of this thread and the subject of quantum mechanics, well, i was reading in a book about quantum computation and information and it was talking about computer science in some chapter where it shows a basic understanding of Turing...

I've recently decided to really try and learn a computer language for the first time. I've had a standard computer science course that covered C material but I found that language to be overly tedious and absolutely miserable. Matlab was interesting, and I enjoy using it for dynamics and other...

I've seen references to using the graphics processing unit (GPU) of computers instead of the CPU for scientific / general purpose computing: http://groups.google.com/group/sci.math.num-analysis/browse_thread/thread/76eac4d19d044096/0c46d5c5e04deeb3?lnk=gst&q=GPU#0c46d5c5e04deeb3 but can't...

Ok, let me introduce you to my problem. I am very interested in and am actively applying to many summer research positions but I find myself somewhat limited towards what I can apply for. My issue is that most of the positions, if not all, want programming experience and I have only done 1...

Hello folks. I just finished my phd in theoretical chemistry and my work thus far hasn't involved any parallel programming. In the future I'm sure I'll be expected to know and use parallel methods, so I'm trying to learn it now. The books that I'm reading from begin by describing the different...

Hi , i need help in writing fortran code.? can any suggest me best site or where to approach?

Just some basic questions i have about function prototypes (functions) What's an example of a code which has no parameters? ie: double func(void) what is the purpose if the thing doesn't take in parameters? also, what if there is keyboard input and screen input what does that mean in the...

Howdy Folks- I've developed an online programming environment that physics enthusiasts would find useful. You can use it to write programs & publish them online. There's built-in graphics capabilities, if you want to do fancy visualization stuff. http://sporkforge.com/sporkapps/build.php

I am currently in the process of writing a program in VBA that will numerically "solve" a given n-body gravitational problem. I'm doing this pretty much just for fun and am by no means a programmer (had a 1 semester course in c++). The question I have is something that seems to keep coming into...

I was reading this story on CNN about how ESPN is starting to develop and implement 3D programming. http://www.cnn.com/2010/TECH/01/05/espn.3d/index.html It seems like an obvious step with the 3D movies out. However, besides the fact you'll need to buy a new TV, you will also need those 3D...

Is C++ programming used in electrical engineering work, it really doesn't seem as though it would be,but what could it be useful for, some kind of possible scenario ? (E.E. encorporates the use of electricity to make things happen mainly, whereas C++ has to do with computer design)

Hi I have a function that relies on n and t. I am presently drawing it with "ParametricPlot3D." I am drawing it for all t in [0,1]. Now I can either draw this for all values of n in a defined interval, say [a,b], just as I define it to draw all t. Or I can draw one value of n by using the...

I used to think that computer science was all coding and making software. That displeased me greatly since I'm not the greatest at coding. Certainly not one of those people who started at 10 or even 16. It's not that I'm fundamentally bad at it, but I just tend to dislike it. Yet I am drawn to...

I'm not a complete newbie to Python but I'm not a pro either (far from it). I played with Python on surface, like doing simple computation in python shell or creating a very simple program (such as finding roots of quadratic equations). Anyway, i would like to explore more into this subject...
