Is there a good website or resource that someone can recommend for someone with zero physics experience? I could use some help. TIA!

Hi there, I'm a biomedical engineering undergrad currently enrolled in an university whose engineering program is about as masochistic as any other. I'm doing pretty damn well in all my classes not named "biomechanics", which I attribute to my continued inability to learn much of anything at the...

I wouldn't have asked unless I really needed and couldn't find. Google only shows me images, and I even tried searching in gifs-specific websites to no-avail. Perhaps you guys already know some resources, so I'll stop wasting so much time with search engines?

Does anybody know of some kind of treasure trove of physics problems? Imagine you were a physics teacher writing a book & wanted to include a few problems on calculating the coulomb force exerted by a ring of charge, or a line of charge etc... or wanted to include calculations on moments of...

I've been looking up reviews of queueing theory textbooks and seeing their tables of contents on Amazon, but I haven't found a satisfactory one. In particular, I'm trying to tackle a class of problems where there is a bunch of resources (for example, memory in a computer or empty seats in a...

There are all these Feynman YouTubes. Does anybody have a full listing? Or a favorite 10 or 20 of them? Can you list them with suggestive topic names to make it easy to find one you want? Feynman is more than physics. I'll try to start the list Different ways of thinking (counting and...

I'm learning mechanics right now via an extension course. In the absence of an "on-demand" teacher I've found multiple textbooks and online resources to be useful. When I studied calculus, Paul's online calculus notes (http://tutorial.math.lamar.edu/Classes/CalcII/CalcII.aspx) were a great...

Is there some place online where I can find physical specs (dimensions, pitch, etc) for various IC packages, especially all the jillions of SMT varieties, so I can easily compare them? I'm doing some shopping on Mouser/Digikey, and I don't have any easy way of knowing what the differences are...

Hi there PF Im looking for a good book of integral tables. Any suggestions on good books? :) Thanks in advance \Schreiber

Hi all, Over the summer, I am going to be doing some research with EEG. My professor suggested I could do some signal processing of the data using markov chains. I'm not familiar with markov chains, but I think the prof intends to teach me himself. I'd still like to get some background...

There are some who have a political or other agenda motivating them to make a hue & cry about population control. The http://www.census.gov/main/www/popclock.html" is 6,903,465,258. The http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/France" (for example) is 260,558 sq. mi. That means you can fit the...

Hi, This website claims, "The Khan Academy is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) with the mission of providing a world-class education to anyone, anywhere." http://www.khanacademy.org/ It includes material on many subjects; I posted it here because I had to pick something, but I believe it has...

Hallo all, I need a very conceptual and clear cut definition on sql attacks...there are so many forms of definition and material available on internet that I am just so confused...what the most reliable and authentic source to grasp this info. Thanks

Here is a list of questions that have been posted in the past concerning Peskin & Schroeder, An Introduction to Quantum Field Theory. If you have a question about the book, you can look here first to see if it has already been answered. One caveat, sometimes the page numbering that I used can be...

Does anyone have a good resource of worked examples on simple (ish) tensor algebra? By way of background I'm a mechanical engineer tackling computatonal solid mechanics and my class notes aren't exactly helpful. I have Holzapfel's 'Nonlinear Solid Mechanics' and while very useful I like to learn...

Two friends and myself are going to start doing research with a professor of ours on Haar wavelet transforms. I was curious if there are any texts or any online resources which those of PF would recommend? So far the three of us have completed Engineering Calc I, but the professor feels...

Homework Statement First of all, a bit about myself. I have just graduated from high school in Canada and now going to University for First-Year Engineering. I am having quite a bit of difficulty grasping even some of the so-called elementary concepts like basic quantum mechanics etc. Part of...

I has occurred to me that when I go to research, I would first like to survey the research that has already been done in that particular area. Does anyone have any experience with ASME in this regard? Or possibly with other organizations? I use the databases that I have access to at...

Can anyone recommend a good and reliable online resource on this subject area? One which explains areas like registers, bus & c.p.u etc other than the sometimes unreliable wikipedia.

Much of undergraduate economics is dedicated to the study of efficient markets. This is a useful simplification in many fields -- no one cares who they buy stock from, and gasoline, wheat, and other commodities are almost as undifferentiated. I've recently been considering markets that are...

Is there a good resource on the Seebeck effect, what are the constants for different temperatures and materials. Maybe also for semiconductor materials. All I found so far is in the Handbook, and that one has only Platinum and some Constantan stuff. Also: Is there an easy way to produce...

Does an Alics-Bob scenario include entropy, and does it increase if they both determine correct states? What if they don't? Is knowing an entanglement exists an expectation? Is measuring it a probability? So if there's expectation and probability (or maybe there isn't). is there information...

Hey all. Greetings from Auburn Alabama. I'm a phys grad student at Auburn University. I've never yet taken a GR course, so I suppose i'd better learn some. My physical intuition is ahead of my math chops, so I'm having some trouble working through Einstein's new notation. When trying to...
