For the last year I have been upgrading all the courses I would need to get into engineering. Fall: Math 10, Physics 20 Winter: Math 20, Physics 30, Chem 30 Spring: Math 30 So looking at my schedule I didn't think I could get Math 31(calculus) this year. However looking at the BSc...

Hi, I am making a device with 8 INPUTs that will be connected to a long (5-25m) UTP cable running trough an elevator shaft (some interference, I imagine). Could you propose what kind of filters should I use on my inputs. The thing is, the HIGH level on these cables will be 12 to 19V but I need...

I'm about to enter my freshman year of college, and naturally I've been thinking a lot about what I want to do after college. I'm going into chemical engineering, and I really want to work with environmentally friendly means of production. Ideally I'd like to work with the research aspect of...

At work, I often have to download .tiff files to work with drawings. Sometimes when searching through these drawings I have to download dozens of these files rapidly just to shuffle through them. Every time I click the view button, IE gives a pop-up saying that the website is trying to download...

I'm a high school student from the Netherlands. I'm currently 17 and in my final year of high school. Recently I've become very interested in physics. It really is a new interest among many of my other interests (classical music, literature, even debating and politics), but I would like to learn...

I am a senior in high school this year and am thinking about majoring in pure mathematics. If I do, what types of jobs would I be able to get with a BS or MS? If I do go pure math, is it better to get a teaching degree or to double major (if I do it would most likely be astrophysics related). I...
