Hello, does anyone know if there exist a free service that would allow one to base up a forum supporting latex for math discussions? just like physicsforums? Thanks.

I'm glad to join this community. I'm currently a high school upperclassmen interested heavily in science, primarily in biochemistry. I take advanced (IB) courses in Biology and Chemistry and plan to Higher Level in them, and then also take SL Physics at the same time, and Calculus AB SL...

One of my teachers, for AP Physics, has made it mandatory for my entire class to register on this particular forum and post three times per week. Although this is not a hugely time consuming assignment, me and many of my classmates have found it difficult to find threads to post on or places to...

Hey all, the S&D forum seemed to be stagnant and you can't exchange ideas without discourse, so here's a conversation starter: California UFO Report: (http://www.lanewsmonitor.com/news/UFO-Over-California--Resident-Reports-UFO-Sighting-1288189641/ )...

Do u think text speak is ok in forums or r u averse to it.

Hello! I just finished typing up my first Latex document for a proof I worked on. Now, I'm having trouble posting it on these forums. Here is the source code... \begin{document} $f : \mathbb{R} \Rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is odd $\;\Longleftrightarrow \;f(-x) = -f(x) \;\forall x$. Show that...

The Advanced Physics Homework Help forum is for upper-division (college junior or senior) and graduate-level questions. Other schoolwork physics questions should go in the Intro Physics forum. Thanks!

Hey guys, I'm obviously new to the forums and as well new to Physics. I'm currently in grade 11 and taking Physics. I'm very interested in it and hopefully this forum will help me develop a greater interest and more knowledge on this subject.

I did not see a forum for book recommendations or reviews. Would be helpful for the student in me.

I have to say, this is the most fantastic website that I have ran across in a long time. I particularly like the helpful (seemingly so far?) community and in-depth coverage of virtually every general question I have had in the past year! I was reading through a thread that linked to an article...

Hello everybody this is Clarke new to the forum , hope u all welcome me :)

I was wondering if anyone has recommendations for a philosophy forum, in particular one where ethics is discussed -- theoretical ethics rather than bioethics or other applied ethics.

I'm using this data to get an idea of how long it might take to get a thread there answered. So please, for the sake of accuracy, don't joke. I'd imagine that since summertime is here, not many people go there.

Hello friends, I am having some trouble with a particular statement an author made in a book. Despite being a statistics question, it is at its heart, a calculus question. Perhaps someone here with a better understanding of the subject can help, because I'm not convinced the matter has...

This is an outside the box/critical thinking game. I was introduced to this in a logic class. The idea is that I state a short story, and the participants have to "fill in the blanks" by asking yes or no questions. Note that the literal answers to yes or no questions can be very misleading...

Homework Statement Express the function cosh(2x)+2 sinh^2(x)= in terms of exponential functions. Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution i have an answer but I am not sure if its right can someone check please. =1/2 (e^2x+e^(-2x) )+1/2(e^2x-e^(-2x)) if this is right i need some help...

I hope you can help me with this problem. A few days ago, I began a post with a LaTex equation in it, but never completed the post (I got the answer I needed). I'm trying a new post today, and no matter how or what I enter as LaTex, when I preview the post I see the equation I tried to use a...

I am a graduate of a 4 year degree in Physics education and participating into this forum is right for me. Hope to participate soon in the discussions here.

Hi there, Many of the problems on this part of the forum simply boil down to "I don't know how to solve the ODE: <some strange ODE here>" I kind of forgot how to solve many of these problems myself, so I've just been giving people the answer from matlab's dsolve function. Is this...

Anyone notice that the Richard Dawkins forum has suddenly been terminated? Not only has posting been disabled, but the whole thing will be deleted within 30 days. It has almost the same number of posts as physicsforums. Its causing quite some anger among its members. Heres the story...

I find that this forum supports LaTex which is awesome that we can type formula.But what version is it? I need to know because I don't know which translator to choose when using MathType. Thanks

I’m not quite sure what I’m doing on this forum. I was sent a gift subscription to a science magazine and was so delighted with it; I gave a grandson a subscription to the same magazine. We get into lively discussions regarding the contents of the various issues. He challenged me to read Stephen...

Hi, Do you know any TI-89 support forum? Thanks.

Forum Game -- What's that movie? Similar to the landmark game. First to correctly identify the movie posts a new pic for a new movie. You are then responsible for giving clues (after a couple of days or so if its really a stumper), and deciding the next winner. Here's an easy one to start:

Dear all, Unfortunately, we have just learned of the death of one of our members, negitron. Since he was a valuable contributor in this forum, I am posting this announcement for those who might not have seen it in the General Discussion forum. Feel free to add your thoughts, if you wish...

I'd like some pointers to a good forum where I can go to ask general computer questions - usually to do with my network setup. According to Linksys Tech Support, BOTH my Linksys wireless routers got pooched on the same day. My network is old enough that it may be time to replace them anyway...

I hope this warrants its own topic, but we'll see. I have spent about 4 years on here, mainly in the philosophy forum. I have had many great discussions on varied subjects, but I am beginning to doubt myself. I searched through all my old topics, and I found that a bunch of them had been...

Not too sure if this is the right place to post... any good optics discussion forum that one could go to? any recommendation? Thanks

Hello everyone! I'm new to the board, so thought I'd take a moment and introduce myself. I have a degree in Liberal Arts, but like so many of us, the first time I gazed upward on a dark night and wondered in amazement, I was hooked. I have enjoyed perusing so many of your contributions, and...

This is a reply to a comment made in the cosmology forum. That's not correct. Do you really believe that physicists are that dumb? The real story goes something like this: The speed of light is a constant in the real world. Therefore, we define a mathematical model in which the speed of...
