Homework Statement Alright I searched all over Mathematica on Google and I can't find the answer. How do you write out a vector equation and then do a bunch fancy stuff to it? (Like if it was a parametric surface or line, how do you graph it? Find the derivative? Integrate it?) For...

hello, i just want to ask if mathematica 7 can solve nonlinear second order partial differential equations. i tried solving it with DSolve but it kept on giving me the question back as the output...please is there any way or syntax for solving it on mathematica 7?...thanks for any suggestions.

Homework Statement I've been trying to plot Plot[x^2/4 - ln[x]/2, {x, 0, 5}] And it keeps showing me a blank graph. I did it on Wolframalpha and it worked.

\text{In}[1]:=\text{Solve}\left[\partial _{\theta } \text{Sin}[\theta ]==0,\theta \right] \text{Out}[1]:=\left\{\left\{\theta \to -\frac{\pi }{2}\right\},\left\{\theta \to \frac{\pi }{2}\right\}\right\} Is there a Mathematica source code command that can read a specific numerical value from...

Homework Statement I am trying to plot xe^{-x} by using Plot[x*e^(-x), {x, 0, 5}] and it keeps telling me that Plot::exclul: must be a list of equalities or real-valued functions. So I tried Plot[x*e^(-x), {x, 0, 5}, PlotRange -> {-10, 10}] Still not working The Attempt...

Hi everyone, I have these warning solving summation: ************************************************* In[1]: f[m_, n_] := 2 n + 3 m; In[2]: g[m_, n_] := Sum[f[m, n], {m, 1, m, 2}, {n, n, 1}]; In[3]: g[1, 1] During evaluation of In[3]:= Sum::itraw: Raw object 1 cannot be used as an...

I am trying to calculate the ionization curve for hydrogen at a given matter density (in this case it happens to be 55 atoms/cm^3) From the Saha equation and putting the concentrations in terms of reaction coordinates. It looks something like this: Log[x[t]^2/(1 - x[t])] = 1/(k t)E - 3/2...

I've had this problem many times in the past, and haven't thought of a way to fix it. Sometimes when I plot a function that requires quite a bit of effort on mathematica's part, (for example, one time the function was a sum of about a thousand terms, each of which was multiplied complex terms...

Hi All, running into a bit of a mathematica issue. I put the following code into plot: Plot[Im[correlationList], {t, 0, timeEnd}, PlotStyle -> ColorList] correlationList is a list of complex functions that have been evaluated at t. It correctly plots all of them (if I change it to...

Hi all, I have 3 lists of data where lists; A={numbers}, B={numbers} and C={{y,m,d,h,m,s},{...}} (i.e. C is in the form DateList). I have no problem plotting using DateListPlot for the 2D case (C VS A) but can't seem to plot all 3 sets of data together. Mathematica seems not to be able...

Hey, I have a data set (electronic device output) which we need to find the best fit via approximation and interpolation. I've done a cubic least squares, then found the local error for all the given points (actual - approximate). We need to also find the global errors for the methods we choose...

Homework Statement I am trying to plot the two polar curves r = \sqrt{3} cos(\theta) and r = sin(\theta) Mathematica only gives me one of the curves. I tried plotting PolarPlot[{sqrt (3) Cos[t]}, {t, 0, 2 Pi}] and it gives me a blank box in the first quadrant. any ideas?

Hello all, I'll try to make myself clear... My goal here is to plot a function f(x,y) in 3D. But, instead of using the Plot3D[] function, I made a table of Plot[] for, say, several values of the x variable. So I'm now with a list which looks like this ...

Maybe someone else had this problem. Lets say we have a sampled Gaussian pulse in time domain and transform it into frequency domain. For that I use the discrete Fourier transform. Now the resulting set of transformed values is made up of complex numbers. I want to extract two things from that...

Issues with Discrete Fourier Transform in Mathematica Maybe someone else had this problem. Lets say we have a sampled Gaussian pulse in time domain and transform it into frequency domain. For that I use the discrete Fourier transform. Now the resulting set of transformed values is made up of...

Hi, Iam looking for a specific command(s) that could give outputs which are determinate only, i.e. only and only if the outputs are not infinity. This is due to the fact that I have iterations cases (using Do-loop) which give both determinate and indeterminate outputs. However, I just...

I want to plot a list of points where each element is of the form {x,y,z} so that the list is like: { {x1,y1,z1} , {x2,y2,z2} , ... , {xN,yN,zN} }. And I want to connect a line between each consectutive pair (i.e. {x(i-1),y(i-1),z(i-1)} & {x(i),y(i),z(i)} ). Unfortunately, its not as...

Hi all, I'd like to plot a family of curves corresponding to different values of an integer n (eg. sin(nx) for n=1,2,3...) on a single graph, along with some kind of indication as to what value of n each curve corresponds to. I'm using the command Plot[Evaluate@Table[Abs[P[-t, n]], {n, 3...

Hi all, I have difficulties about applying the Do-loop command as it takes very long time to run (more than 24 hours and it keeps running). However, if i do it manually, without Do command, i.e. putting the values of the variables, Mathematica gives me a pretty quick output. Please see...

I am trying to solve the following system of 2n variables: w1 + w2 + ... + wn = b0 w1x1 + w2x2 + ... + wnxn = b1 w1x12 + w2x22 + ... + wnxn2 = b2 ... w1x12n-1 + w2x22n-1 + ... + wnxn2n-1 = b2n-1 for w1, w2 ... wn and x1, x2 ... xn. The problem is the using the Solve command returns...

Hi All! I am trying to get used to Mathematica and rules and all things syntax. What I am trying t do is this: If I define a variable as such m = Solve[x^4 - 4 == 0, x] The output is: {{x -> -Sqrt[2]}, {x -> -I Sqrt[2]}, {x -> I Sqrt[2]}, {x -> Sqrt[2]}} So I believe what this means...

Hi All, I have a big ugly function (please see the attached Mathematica file), of tau (f(tau)). The only parameters there in symbolic form are w and v. I need to take the derivative of this function with respect to tau, set it equal to zero and solve for tau. (Please see g(tau)). But Solve...

Hi All, I'm trying to plot some DiscreteDelta functions in mathematica but unfortunately since the points are singular nothing shows up in the plot. Usually when this comes up I replace the delta functions with very narrow gaussians, graphically it looks even nicer (I'm plotting absorption...

Hello, I'm working on a simple electronic circuit with two resistors and two diodes. I have experimental data of the current-voltage characteristic and am trying to fit the corresponding equation - the resistors and diodes are unknown. With basic circuit analysis, I get this tricky...

I'm trying to use a random number generator in Mathematica that uses a distribution. I know there's a specific command to do so but I'm a bit confused on how to use it. In my example I'm trying to get random numbers from the wrapped Cauchy and Von Mises distributions. Any help would be great...

Hello :smile: I am a total amateur here and can't seem to get this to work: I have a function beta[M, θ] that I am trying to define. beta is a nasty equation that is way too many lines for me to input at once, so I tried to break it up into pieces. However, the part that is showing up in red...

Hi everyone, please help me to solve my difficulties with regard to simultaneous equations using Mathematica. Thanks for any response.

I have a function f(x,y) that I wish to evaluate for different values of x and y. I created two lists for x and y using table: x = Table[x,{x,1/10,1,1/10}] y = Table[y,{y,1/100,1/10,1/100}] This gives me 10 values for x and 10 for y. Now I want to evaluate my function f(x,y) for...
