i just fixed up my dads computer and i need to put a new password for his account so all my little brothers don't go accessing it. i want to be a little creative. i want to create a password but only leave him a hint so he has the figure the password out himself. i was thinking i should make the hint something mathematical or something physics related because he is an electrical engineer. but i can't think of anything short yet sophisticated enough so only my dad can figured it out. can anyone help me please! thanks in advance
 
Mathematics news on Phys.org
assign each letter in the alphabet a nr, say from 1 to 26, then create a function that would assign a specific nr. to a letter in alphabet. say f(x_i)= x_i+2 where x_i wold be your letter in the alphabet, translated as a nr. For example, you might want your pasword to be :ME. then here it is how you would code it according to that function. The nr associated with M is 13, and wih E=5 so

instead of writting M you would write K, because K=11, so f(K)=K+2=11+2=13=M,
simmilarly

instead of E write C, because f(C)=C+2=3+2=5=E.

But you can make a more complicated function, or make a function that assigns nr, to letters differently rather than in order.

Have fun with that!
 
thats a good one but that would take longer than i like. i need something short but it can only answered by a mathematician, u know what i mean.

First, that's not long at all. Second i don't know what u really mean, so try to explain what are you specifically looking for...lol...
 
"To convert a function from the time domain to the frequency domain, one must do a ______ transform."

The answer would be "Fourier."
 
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...
Thread 'Imaginary Pythagorus'
I posted this in the Lame Math thread, but it's got me thinking. Is there any validity to this? Or is it really just a mathematical trick? Naively, I see that i2 + plus 12 does equal zero2. But does this have a meaning? I know one can treat the imaginary number line as just another axis like the reals, but does that mean this does represent a triangle in the complex plane with a hypotenuse of length zero? Ibix offered a rendering of the diagram using what I assume is matrix* notation...
