    Whats a way to determine the range of this complex function?

    Describe the range of p(z) = -2z^3 for z in the quarter disk |z| < 1, 0 <Argz < \frac{\pi}{2}. The answer is the circular sector |w| < -2, -\pi <Argw < \frac{\pi}{2} What's a good way of seeing why this is true?

    Mathematica How to Generate and Plot Random Real Numbers in Mathematica?

    Hi, I'm trying to write a short code in Mathematica that can generate random real numbers in - say 5 secs, and then plot this against any specified range I want. An additional complexity is that the function I'm generating the random numbers for is embedded in an integral. Here's an example...

    Domain and range of complex functions

    If I am given a function: f(z) = w(x,y) = u(x,y) + iv(x,y) How do I find the domain and range of that function? Are there any good lectures online on this? I know I have to use two planes; One for u and v, and one for x and y. Besides that, I am lost.

    Does air friction increase a gunshot bullet's range?

    Would a bullet have longer trajectory,because the air helps it ''glide''?Does this mean that if you fire the same gun and bullet in vacuum and in the air the one fired in the vacuum will fall to the ground a lot more quickly?

    Temperature range at which a reaction is spontaneous, Where is the mistake?

    For a chemical reaction we have, ΔH=-114.1kJ and ΔS=-146.4J/K ---> ΔS=-146.4·10^{-3}kJ/K. Question: Determine the temperature range at which the reaction is spontaneous. A reaction is spontaneous when ΔG is negative in the equation ΔG=ΔH-TΔS, so I do: ΔG=ΔH-TΔS 0>ΔH-TΔS -ΔH>-TΔS...
