If Gilbert Strang from MIT puts you to sleep i'd love to be taught by your LA teacher.
Gilbert Strang is far better than any math teacher I've been exposed to at my crappy university. I learned more in the first chapter of his textbook (about linear algebra) than I did from taking the...
That website doesn't seem indicative of much
for example most people would tell you that the university of waterloo is the #1 science and engineering school in Canada (macleans ranked it #1 all-around in Canada)
but that list has it at like #270, below McMaster, McGill, UofT, UofA, UBC...
The mathematical physics papers are theorem oriented, and theoretical papers aren't theorem oriented?
I don't really understand what you mean
As a theoretical physicist you publish under the "theory" heading of your specific field I suppose. Besides where you publish though what are the...
You said you wanted to ban the export of raw materials
That would destroy the Canadian economy, as we make an extremely large amount of money off those exports, and we don't need those materials ourselves. So by banning the export of raw materials we would be stockpiling raw materials and...
You quote Churchhilll..
I wonder if you know what he would think about your ideas on trade?
Answer: He would think you are an argument against democracy.
Churchhill was not only rightwing and a brilliant leader, but he was well aware of the simple fact that free trade is the foundation of...
Yes actually.
The NASA Mars rover had a microphone attached to it. This was the first and (as of now) only microphone in space. (Excluding the mics that astronauts use, which weren't exposed to the environment outside of the ships/spacesuits)
Sadly I'm not aware of any recordings that you can...
I'm trying to build myself a very robust and effective filing system so that I can process all the paperwork I generate and not lose it.
This would include:
- Course notes
- Textbook notes
- Generalized notes about subjects
- Various subjects such as E&M, QM, etc, and also "hybrid"...
I don't see why the HUP needs to limit our understanding of the way the world is. Afterall, the HUP *is* the way the world is.
Placing a limit on our ability to observe doesn't limit our ability to fully understand and model the universe.
You sound like someone who doesn't want to believe...
The formula I used is the same thing.
Change in kinetic energy (KE after - KE before) plus the change in potential energy (-mgh)
I got 950kJ however, not .950 kJ
Can you see where I made an error?
(Btw on a different note, don't you think it's a little stupid to have a formula which...
If you're skydiving you should spend most of the time at terminal velocity and not accelerating, so you wouldn't get it as badly as an astronaut at least. Interesting that you've never felt it all though.
Well the short answer is that the force of friction between the coin and the board is not great enough to overcome the inertia of the coin
I suppose he knew that though...?
Since the speed of the surfer is greater after the reaction, it is clear that his energy has increased. Some of the increase is due to gravity and some is due to the waves. It's certainly possible that the waves actually did negative work on him, they could have slowed him down a little bit...
