    What's wrong with my circuit simulation?

    What's wrong with my circuit simulation? No gain is observed at the amplifier output. The intent is for the output gain of the 741 operational amplifier to be equal to R2/R1.

    Understanding the Role of Uniform Random Variables in Monte Carlo Simulation

    Hi all! I started learning about Monte Carlo Simulation. However, one thing that I don't quite get is that why for generating any random variable, we have to first generate a Uniform RV? What is the reason behind that? Thanks!

    How to handle simultaneous particles collision in simulation?

    Suppose there are 3 balls colliding at the same time. I find that the order in which I resolve collisions makes a difference in the final result, which ofcourse makes no sense. To explain and keep things simple, consider 3 balls in 1D, all same mass, elastic collision. The numbers at the top...
