I am currently a sophomore engineering major thinking of switching to a math major. Math is my favorite subject, and I would like nothing more than to switch majors. However, I am a hesitant to switch because of the nature of most math careers that I know of. It seems like most math majors end...
I am deciding between an Electrical or Mechanical Engineering major, but can anyone share their work experience as an EE or ME engineer? Also, if you are willing, can you share some details such as:
1) What company you are working for
2) How flexible is your job schedule
3) What is the most...
I'm currently a second semester CE student. I have until tomorrow to choose to change for EE without affecting my curriculum. Since I've been 14, I've always wanted to go CE and wasn't really interested in the pure EE topics. When I was doing my Sciences college degree in CEGEP (Quebec system) I...
Hi
Using the binary system for computing is a natural choice because of its two states: 0 and 1. But is this possible to use base 10, which is used in everyday matters, instead of base 2?

In EE when one has 40 transistor all agree that it is to complex for a person to understand without using computer simulation. In an economy with 7 billion people and millions of groups, organizations, corporation, governments most seem to feel that simple analogies are good enough to understand...

Im college freshman and majoring in Computer Engineering. After I get my Bachelors degree, I want to go to grad school and get my Masters in Software Engineering. Even though I got my Bachelors in Computer Engineering, can I still get my Masters in Software Engineering? I am going to take some...
Hi,
I am looking for approximations to the delta functoin which I can use on a computer. Although I will never get an exact delta function, I can make an approximation that it can be improved as much as I like.
Would you help me to find the approximation of the delta function so that I can...
Question:
A new computer virus attacks a folder consisting of 200 files. Each file gets damaged with probability 0.2 independently of other files. Using Normal approximation of binomial distribution, find the probability that fewer than 50 files get damaged.

What is the difference between it and electrical engineering? What do you learn and what can you make and where can it lead? Sorry if this is too broad

I was curious if it would be possible to construct an incredibly simple and most likely trivial computer based on an interferometer style setup which could generate random numbers based on the quantum mechanical nature of light. Namely, with a basic laser pointer, some mirrors, and a beam...

I need an algorithm to calculate nth root or power of any given real number. "n" can be either integer or fractional, and is real.

As I have mentioned in this thread, it's that time of decade where I'm looking to build a new computer for myself. I'm hoping to not spend more than $800 CAD on the motherboard, processor and RAM but I have no real budgetary limit. Of course, I'm looking to optimize for some metric of...
I'm looking to build a new computer for myself but it's been a while since I've done so and I find the market to be more confusing now than ever. Are requests for such advice welcome on these forums? I figure a question on forum protocol would be more welcome than a blatant violation of...
What is a CS course that covers how software and hardware are connected? This probably seems simple to most but I have no clue as to how this interaction works. A lot of the courses I've looked up seem to be either hardware or software only. Also, is there a name for this area of CS so I can...
Howdy All!
I have been lurking in the shadows of physicsforums for a few months now, but this is my first official post here.

hi physicsts

and they allow b.tech grads to do astrophysics if they have good...
What kind of careers could I get if I majored in computer engineering with a minor in physics? Or does a dual-major in compE and elecE make more sense? Which is better for grad school? Thanks!
I don't know much about how to work with computer softwares. Would you please suggest em some simple CAS which also supports text feature. I want to use it to simply write down math - I can solve problems (such as calculus ones) myself. Thanks for your help.
Today when I was sitting at my desk in the lab, all of a sudden I saw fire in my PC! So I cut off the power in a hurry, and opened the case to check it.
Then I turned on the power, and to everyone's surprise, it started up normally like nothing happened!
At that moment I was totally ...
Hi Every one, I'm a mechanical engineering graduate working in software quality assurance. I'm planning to learn the fundamentals concepts of computing and pursue an MS in computing which would enable me to get into research or into tech companies like google.

Hello, I attend Trine University in Angola, Indiana. I was wondering if a working Computer Engineer could help me out and answer a few questions. This would be greatly appreciated.
1. What is your name?
2. Where did you study to become an engineer?

Hello, first of all I want to say english isn't my primary language (I'm from Quebec), so I'm sorry if you have trouble understanding me.
I will be attending university next year (I think this is what you guys call undergrad school in the US, with one less year since we have "CEGEP" between...

I've done quite a bit of reading already on this but none of the solutions I've found seem to fit my situation. I can run older games like Knights of the Old Republic just fine, but more graphically intense games like Battlefield Bad Company 2 or Assassin's Creed 2 will result in my computer...
Moving forward after the "useless" Computer Science Major
Let's face it, general consensus is a CS major is about as useless as you can get when it comes to the sciences. While you're taking your undergrad, they fill your heads with these lofty ideas and practical uses of computer science...
I am interested in the field of Quantum computer/Quantum computing. with which books I should start, and what are the 'must read' books in this domain?
What is the main difference between the two? They seem to be very, very closely related and I'm having difficulty deciding between the two.
Help me please~
Hi all,
