    Is Integration by Parts the Key to Solving Complex Equations?

    Hey guys, Need you push to proceed further with integration by parts: ∫e3x*3*x2*ydx=y∫e3x*3*x2dx setting u=3*x2-------du=6*x dx dv= e3*xdx--- v= 1/3* e3*x ∫ e3*x*3*x2*ydx=y*(3*x2* 1/3* e3*x-∫6*x*1/3* e3*xdx) =y*(3*x2* 1/3* e3*x-6/3*∫x*e3*xdx)...

    Is flight without moving parts possible?

    As a tenth grader with electronics on the mind, ionocraft is probably one of the most interesting topics I have run across(besides the Casimir effect; that, I believe, is quantum physics). But, what I am truly interested in is whether or not it is possible, with the use of technologies such as...
