Though still an undergrad in my early stages, I've been looking at graduate school programs and requirements just for kicks. In a significant amount of universities learning or knowing a foreign language (French, German, and/or Russian seem to be the most common choices) is a requirement. So...

I get really confused about the languages associated with fpgas and microcontrollers. I'm not asking what the difference is between a ucontroller and an fgpa. 1. What different languages can you use to program an fpga? I already know that you can use vhdl/verilog. 2 What different...

Assembly language. how to change the 80h in my register to 50h? that goes to others to. like 45h to 2Dh. basically, i came up with a sequence to change the user's double digit decimal input to hex value. i.e. when i enter 45, AL = 45h how do i change it to 2Dh?? ; al = 45h. how to...

The problem statement given is this: Write a PUBLIC function in MSP430 assembly that implements the Pythagorean theorem A^2 + B^2 = C^2. Make A and B 16bit integers. What size should you make C? Your function must use the HW multiplier's multiply and accumulate feature. Also write a brief...

Hi, I've been programming for some time now, and I've learned the so-called industrial languages, like C, C++ and Java. Now I want to pick up a scripting language, but I'm getting confused by the variety. Even if I take the most well-known options, there are Perl, Python, Ruby and PHP. Which...

I am currently wanting to go into Software Engineering. With that in mind I want to learn a programming language. I am planning to go back to school and major in either Computer Engineering or Computer Science (depending on which is closer to Software Engineering). Before I go back next...

Although most people speak English, I am curious as to which language would be most beneficial while I pursue a science/engineering career. I do not plan on staying in the U.S. so I was wondering which language would help me the most. Also, which country/city/nation or whatever you want to use...

My school advises that all majors in math and physics intending on grad school gain at least a reading proficiency of either French, German, or Russian. How important is language proficiency to grad school? Will it affect either my ability to learn or my chances at entering top programs...

as the topic, just want ask what software does that sort of things. thanks

Personally I love the typical British accent (London). Skottish is really cool. And maybe East Coast American. I don't like Australian. Texas is horrible, not at least because it reminds me of Bush.

Not sure if we have discussed it before, but Europe definitely needs one language for more progress to unity. Here is an impression on the progress of that process.

Is an infinite language with an infinite alphabet always recursively enumerable?

I have run into a problem... The language filter we have been using is out of date and it periodically does not work. I was hoping I could get some help on making a new one. The old one: import java.io.File; import java.io.FileWriter; import java.io.PrintWriter; import java.net.SocketAddress...

I am wondering how the man that invented FORTRAN did so. More precisely : It is not really the language that he invented but more likely a compiler that would understand some syntax that we call "language". So how did he write its compiler? In order to make it work it necessitate a...

Hi All, I am a physicist from Hungary. I was involved in quite a few programming tasks back in the university, especially in the field of Density Functional Theory, which needed complex computations. I used Fortran and later C++, for Object Oriented programming gave quite a few advantages...

how would i get it to solve linear equations and linear systems, especially in the form; y=ax+b my professor and i found out that it likes brackets " [ . . . ] " and double equal signs " == " i know its probably painfully obvious but any input would be tremendous!

Thanks for reading Do people determine rules for gesture interpretation ? Could language comprehension be done via just emotion [leaving out cases of deception]?

I am currently a sophomore in college, studying mathematics and possibly double majoring in physics. So far, I'm thinking of going to grad school in some field (not sure if it's math, physics, or etc). Right now, I'm wondering if I should study any foreign language at college. I'm already...

If t is the term x*y*z of the language for group theory, why is x*y not a subterm of t? isn't (x*y)*z = x*(y*z) = x*y*z, meaning that x*y is a subterm by definition?

Any suggestions on how to cope with foreign languages in journal papers? Say you want to read a proof of a certain theorem. But the ONLY published proof of that theorem is in Russian, and it has never been translated in English. Other than learning Russian, any suggestions on how to learn the...

Like it says. I am studying Mechanical engineering and I would like to get familiar with so programming language. I was thinking of Java or C++. I am leaning more towards the latter. However, I have heard that they are both a little outdated. I am of the opinion that if I learned C++...

Ok well, i was just looking around for someone to give me a few tips or give me a "guide". I really wanted to use programming with physics, to simulate or just to get to know how to apply what i know in physics and see how much i understand it to make applications. I am not a very good...

I'm an economics major. I am trying to decide what foreign language I should take next year. I am already fluent in Spanish, and I would like my language choice to be a nice complement to my major. I'm not really sure what I want to do in terms of a career. I'm studying abroad in Africa...

In my current undergrad BS program, I need two semesters of any foreign language. I've been looking into graduate programs in math, and quite a few of them seem to require some knowledge of French, German, and/or Russian. How prevalent is this requirement in the United States, and would it be...

What is a good beginning computer language? Also, do projects such as the ones on makezine.com require a proprietary language for their own hardware? Thanks

Hi all. This question has probably been asked before but I couldn't find it so. Over the past year I have dabbled with a few programming languages such as C,C++ and perl. My question is, which one should I really focus on and why? Thanks for any help.

Hi, I'm stuck on "the summit of statistical mechanics" (as Feynman calls it): the definition of the Boltzmann Factor. The probability of measuring the system with energy E is P(E) = 1/Z * e^-E/kT. I've taken courses in QM and can't understand why P(E) does not depend on the ket of the...

Hi all, As I know, we think by language. So before language appeared, how could human beings think? Thanks

I, as of right now, know two languages. My first language is English (duh) and the other is German, which i am still learning. I am not the greatest German speaker by no means but i can read and speak some German. German is a neat language to speak and write but i feel it won't be a language...
