I am applying to OSU and when filling out the common app there are 10 slots for activities. I have taken online physics classes since the 9th grade. Would this be something I could put down as an activity?

I'm replicating the Faraday Effect as a high school experiment. Can anyone direct me to Verdet constants of water, air, olive oil and table salt for lasers of wavelengths 405nm, 532nm, and 650nm? I'm using the constant as a variable using different materials but I cannot find a specific value...

So I was reading a book that warned me about mathematical objects and how they can be confused and muddled up for something else while being an entirely different thing..So, As far as I know these are distinct mathematical objects (which I think I know). Is it a valid list and what are some...

I was making a little bit of a thought experiment with a simple program and wanted to double check it with you guys. The idea was to utilize basic functionalities of python, regarding lists. Then the goal is to find out and print the number of times that a certain element occurs inside a...

Why doesn't pdg baryons list show the quark compositions and electrical charges? For example, there is only one roper resonance entry, but there are two roper resonances with different quark compositions (although they have the same mass), why not list all the variations?

Can someone please explain the deconstruction and elements of this set. I understand it to be.. F3[X] = {f(x)=a(0)+a(1)X+...+a(n)X^n : a(i) in F3] <x^2+1> = {g(x)(x^2+1): g(x) in F3[x]] So an element in the quotient should be something like f(x)+<x^2+1> Yet, research shows there are nine...

Max: 3x + 5y s.t. x + 2y ≤ 5 x ≤ 3 y ≤ 2 x,y ≥0 By the simplex method, the profit is $14. Using sensitivity analysis I changed the RHS of the 1st constraint and keeping everything else constant, I get the best profit value of $19 at RHS of 7. What other methods can I use such as the...

Hello everyone, sorry to bother you. I was just looking around for a list of all the Quantum phenomenon effects and couldn't find one quickly. I know two of them such as tunnelling and locking but the rest of the ones I've heard of I can't remember. Also there may be ones I don't know about...

Hi, I'm embarking on a mission to self-study math, and would like some recommendations on any missing books or ones that should be replaced in my repertoire. The goal is to build a strong mathematical foundation. My naive idea of what that means is something like an undergraduate math major, so...

Could you help to add more items into this incomplete list of life-friendly "coincidences" in QM: 1. Having at least 3 generations is important for life. With 2 or less, CP violation is "absorbed", and without CP violation there is no matter-antimatter disbalance. 2. Neuron is "almost" stable...

Not long ago, a member posted a problem in the Homework section, concerned with determining which of the five-digit permutations of 4, 5, 6, 8, and 9 were divisible by 8. I first thought about writing some C code to figure this out, but when I discovered that Python has some functions that...

CAn anyone explain how this program in Fortran on linked lists is supposed to work. Actually it does work but I can not for the life of me follow the logic behind it or what is going on. I did some Fortran programming in F77 but now with this new 'pointer' type it is about impossible to...

Why are "Arrivals" displayed, along side the more important "Departures," within the secure areas in airport terminals? (By that I mean in the public areas that you need a boarding pass to get to, and areas that are within the secure side of the security station.) [Edit: I understand the need...

Homework Statement So I'm currently modifying an example Symbolic Regression program that uses genetic programming, a type of evolutionary algorithm. I'm using the python deap library. Not sure if anyone on here is familiar with it, but I think that the error is more general to a misuse of...

This question is for the scientists and academics out there. What books on the scientific disciplines do you wish Science Fiction writers would read? I can think of books written by people like Brian Epstein and Michio Kaku. Another source would be textbooks. Anyone out there have any thoughts...

I notice there are some functions in Mathematica in which you can't supply directly, an array of arguments but rather must give it a list. For example, GCD and LCM. I can use for example, GCD[2,3,8] and it returns 1. However if I code: GCD[{2,3,8}], the function call fails. I know of one way...

This seems like a fairly common technique but I'm fairly new to programming and don't quite know what the proper terms to find such an algorithm would be. In my case, it seems like a list of all possible values would approach almost a billion, and I feel like there's a quicker approach to...

I need to write a code that finds element x in a skip list. I need to implement that in O(logk) expected running time, where k is the location of x at the list (i.e., there are k-1 elements before x in the list). I know how to do it at o(logn), but not o(logk). can you show me the way? I need...

Hi there, I've been reading a textbook on Physics as applied to nuclear medicine, in particular focusing on how photons interact with matter. The textbook states (without reference) that "there are nine possible interactions between photons and matter, of which only four are of significance to...
