AI Thread Summary
To find the unknown value of N when $\log(N) = 9.52412 - 10$, it can be calculated using logarithmic properties. The equation simplifies to $N = 10^{-1} \times 10^{0.52412}$, leading to an approximate value of $N \approx 3.3428739 \times 10^{-1}$. The discussion includes a reference to a table, though the specific type of table needed is not clarified. The user seeks to determine the missing digits in the representation of N as $N = 3.34--- \times 10^{-1}$. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding logarithmic calculations and the use of tables in deriving values.

$N={3.34---}\E{-1}$, what is the "---"?
Not sure what you mean by "using a table". That would depend on what sort of tables you have available.

If $\log(N) = -1 + 0.52412$ then $N = 10^{-1}\times 10^{0.52412}$. My calculator gives $10^{0.52412} \approx 3.3428739$. So $N\approx 3.3428739 \times 10^{-1}.$
 
I provided a section of the table that is in the book.
 

Thread 'Non-orthogonal bases'

Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...

Thread 'What Exactly is Dirac’s Delta Function? - Insight'

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...
