Hi, been lurking for 10 years. Never posted. edx.org has classes on aero/mech engineering. I lack the math and physics background to understand them. Math has terrified me since the 4th grade. We fear what we don't understand. I plan to take math classes at my local community college. If I...

Hello, Does anyone know if a Phd in physics can teach engineering courses at a university? Or do you need to have an engineering degree? Thanks you!

Im having a really tough time with this problem, I am assuming that in order for q'(z) to be a maximum, e^(-az/L)sin (pi(z)/L) must be a maximum. I believe this occurs when the derivative with respect to with respect to z/L is zero, which gives me z = 0.322L, but I am not sure if this is correct...

Hi guys What are best manufacturing engineering academic books for beginners

So I'm currently a fresher at a UK university doing (joint-honours, but not actually missing any first year physics) maths and physics but I've come to realize I don't really have a passion for pure maths and physics. I've realized I fell in love with the "pop-culture" idea of physics and...
