hi guys
I am trying to publish a paper and finally it got a moderate revision, but there is a little problem :
after submitting the revisions which wasn't much, I received an email from the publisher saying "We notice that you may have used previously published material in your article" , the paper was about using some technique i created using Calculators to solve a complicated equation, i download a Casio calculator app and used screen shots from it for the instructions?
is that a copyright violation, I don't understand how is that is a previously published material ?
the publisher need a "request for permission" but i don't know how to get one ? i mean should i contact Casio company?
- would it be possible to replace all the Casio calculator photos on my article with the screens only or maybe a sketch diagram using Photoshop? and resubmit the article?

Rather than have us guess, it would be better for you to discuss this with the editors.
 
guys i am currently studying in computer science engineering [1st yr]. i was intrested in physics when i was in high school. due to some circumstances i chose computer science engineering degree. so i want to incoporate computer science engineering with physics and i came across computational physics. i am intrested studying it but i dont know where to start. can you guys reccomend me some yt channels or some free courses or some other way to learn the computational physics.
I'm going to make this one quick since I have little time. Background: Throughout my life I have always done good in Math. I almost always received 90%+, and received easily upwards of 95% when I took normal-level HS Math courses. When I took Grade 9 "De-Streamed" Math (All students must take "De-Streamed" in Canada), I initially had 98% until I got very sick and my mark had dropped to 95%. The Physics teachers and Math teachers talked about me as if I were some sort of genius. Then, an...
Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...
