Areas Definition and 246 Threads

Where can i find a simple site that can help me to calculate areas? thank you.

I'm dual degreeing in chemistry and ME since I didn't have a specific area of interest. I'm now a junior and am just trying to narrow down what I want to do. It would be nice to find something that utilizes what I've been learning from both majors. What are some areas (fields of study or...

I looked in my james stewart book and didn't find any thing helpful about that and google didn't give me any useful results so is it possible and how to?

Homework Statement The problem is in the attachment along with my answer. Can please one check if I got a correct answer? Some sources say the answer is 2Pi instead of just Pi. Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution

f(x)=\frac{-2}{z-1}+\frac{3}{z+2} our distance is from -2 till 1 we develop around 1 so our distances are 3 and zeo so our areas are 0<|z-1|<3 0<|z-1| 3>|z-1| but i was told to develop around 0<|z-1|<1 there is no such area ?

I would like to ask where the greatest density of mass per area could be in the universe. I don't mean like "next to a black hole" but as in a highly densely populated area of space. I would naturally think it would have to be in a supercluster of galaxies, as compared to a void. Now within a...

proof that the "n" brillouin zones are of equal areas? i'm trying to find a way to prove that the brillouin zones are indeed of equal areas. if i draw, for examle, the first 3 or 4 brillouin zones of a cubic 2-dimensional lattice, then it is relatively easy to show geometrically how the parts...

find the exact area between y=ex, y=2, and the y axis im not looking for a solution, just hints on how to get started. would i just go ahead and integrate the function from 0 to 2 or would i solve the function for x and then integrate or are those 2 idea just completely wrong? thanks

I'm a rather bemused American high school student who needs advice on choosing a college major. The future is starting to seem very close, and I'd like your help in condensing all of my interests into one field. If it's relevant, I'm looking at colleges such as UT-Austin, UMichigan, Cornell...

Books for self-study in "pure areas" of mathematics Hi, I am starting an applied mathematics course this year at university. Unfortunately I don't have the option to study "pure" areas of mathematics, but I would like to learn more about them to become a more complete mathematician at the end...

Pure maths is obviously abstract compared to the applied areas but which areas of pure maths are considered not as abstract or relatively less abstract?

\sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty}r^{|n|}e^{inx}=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}e^{inx}+ r^{0}e^{0} +\sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty}r^{n}e^{-inx} if we look at the left side i have been told that it was broken by intervals the left most is for n=1.. infinity the central is for n=0 the right most for n=-1 ..-infinity i...

This is my best guess, would this be correct? Electrical engineering is about physics and electronic circuits mostly, and quite a bit of math, and a little chemistry, a small amount of that. Does electrical engineering involve anything else?

Hi, I'm Ben. I was wondering if there are any practical, profitable areas where studying Artificial Intelligence would be appropriate. From what I've heard, AI is mainly grounded in theoretical computer science, which is the most interesting aspect of it. But in regards to what is in demand...

When I was a graduate student in experimental high-energy particle physics c. 1980, none of the people I worked with (fellow experimentalists and theorists alike, in that field) used relativistic mass m = \frac {m_0} {\sqrt {1 - v^2 / c^2}} in their work, to the best of my memory. The only...

Hello physics people. I love looking at the ICM program (http://www.mathunion.org/activities/icm/icm-2010-program-structure/) because I think it's the best classification system for mathematics out there. There are pretty much all the popular research topics listed and it is hard to argue...

Homework Statement There are two circles of equal radii. I have to prove that the mid point of the line joining their centres is the only point through which if several arbitrary lines are drawn, equal areas enclosed by the circles will fall on either side of the line. I cannot think of a...

I know its a really dumb question and if i reached this far in math i should know but..how do you draw the diagrams for this topic? Like they give you a region in a plane defined by some kind of inequalities such as (x-2y^2 greater than or equal to 0), (1-x- IyI greater than or equal to 0) and...

For example, I have a floating disk,and there are four propulsors, the propulsors of this disk could generate unlimited opposing force (to the gravity). Let's say this disk weighs 100 grams and I want to find out the gravitational pull on this object and the opposing force required, how do I do...

Any areas in maths that's hand wavy? Is so where?

As I mentioned in another post I'm trying to keep up with my math class and since I didn't finish high school there's some things I have to learn on my own. Heres a few things that I didn't figure out in the class. This is in chronological order, things are gradually getting more complex so I'd...

What are fields of research in maths that contain a large number of tricks? What are fields that contain the least number? By not containing many tricks, I mean fields where each step can be deduced in a logical manner without huge jumps. Tricks will mean the opposite.

I have three questions: Homework Statement Find the areas of the regions whose boundaries are given. Homework Equations y=x^3-3 y=1 The Attempt at a Solution x=-2, x=2 I got -10.67 but I know this can't be true because you can't have a negative area. Homework Statement Find the areas of...

People in very isolated rural areas don't need a line connected to a utility company or outside power source to get water or gas. I know that they can get water from a well. I know that they can buy giant tanks to hold propane or any gas that they use to power their appliances and have the gas...
