    B What Does the Notation = in Equivalence Classes Conclude to?

    Please refer to the video at 37:02 from the link above. I am struggling with the notation "=" of the property (a) which concludes to [a]=[m]. shouldn't it be [a]⊆[m], just like [m]⊆M.

    Fermi Decay: ∆S=0 & ∆J=0 Class of Decay

    I think that this is a relatively easy question (no equations) however I cannot seem to find anything on it. "For which specific class of decay is only the Fermi decay mode possible?" I know Fermi decay is ∆S=0 and therefore ∆J=0 type of decay

    Are proofs from calc class needed for EE?

    Hi, I am a first year calculus two student. I found that I have serious trouble understanding the derivation of formulas. For example, I can solve most of the exam problems because they are just using formulas, say arc length = Integral(sqrt( 1+ (dy/dx)^2)dx, but my textbook actually has two...

    Brownian motion demonstration in class

    Hello, Einstein evaluated the size of an atom by analysing a brownian motion, assuming the size of the molecules is a a factor. In order to demonstrate this concept, I want to put some powders with different sizes of grains on a vibrator and watch how a ball moves. What is the expected result...

    Schools How seriously will colleges take non-AP classes?

    Hi everyone, just a quick question about college applications. I'm in a STEM program at a public school, and some of the classes that I take are weighted as AP even though they are not official AP classes. Some people that I've talked to have seemed to disregard these as just the school being...
