How would you rank ECE MASc Program @ U. of Waterloo --------------------------------------------------------- Hello, every body. I might currently receive an offer letter from U. of Waterloo for MASc-ECE Program. I understand the evaluation of a graduate program is quite often tough...

GA Tech Berkeley UCSD UT Austin UCLA Rose-Hulman. So far I've been admitted to Rose-Hulman and GA Tech. I am still waiting to hear from the rest. I am seriously considering GA Tech at this point. Area is important and that is why I'm ruling out Rose-Hulman at this point. Berkeley is...

This is the equation for the Rank Correlation Coefficient: 1- \frac {6 \sum d^2} {n(n^2-1)} can anyone explain the 6? why a six? i don't see the link.

I've already handed in my (I can only assume) incorrect solution, but I just felt like posting, though I'm not sure if anyone will be able to help. I have a rank-2 covariant tensor, T sub i,j. This can be written in the form of t sub i,j + alpha*metric tensor*T super k, sub k (I hope my...

by Fuller, Robert W I was wondering if anybody had come across this book by that physicist. It is the same guy that wrote a text I am sure a few of you are pretty familiar with and one that I have found useful as well: MATHEMATICS OF CLASSICAL AND QUANTUM PHYSICS by Byron, Frederick...

Can a rank 2 field be considered, in principle, to be the dot product of two rank 1 vector fields?

How can I prove whether or not d4x is a 0th rank tensor? It seems strange that I should be so when it is the product of a 0th, 1st, 2nd and 3rd component, dx0dx1dx2dx3. I heard that the proof involves the Jacobian. I don't get it.
