So i started my new career last week as an entry level software developer/analyst. Something that's been bothering me is that I'm not really a technology buff. I love to program because i like to solve problems/puzzles. Probably the same reason i like math.
If i had to describe myself i...
Is there any software for simulating physical phenomena?
I've googled it and found one named Physion.
It is great for fun but is too limited.
Would programming be the only way or is there some ready-made program that could provide an easy environment to develop simulations.
Hi folks,
I'm looking for a device with a screen smaller than a laptop, bigger than a phone, which can do the following very well!
1. allow me to enter math by stylus and have it convert to latex for export via various file extensions;
2. link with my linux OS on my main computer (so, perhaps...
Hello,
I'm learning digital logic and design, I was told that I should use Quartus II, which so far works very well for me. Unfortunately, I noticed that simulating was eliminated on recent versions of Quartus II on the web edition.
So, while new versions are better and I still prefer the...
I'm aware that the answer is probably yes but if so would you need to spend a lot of time catching up or is the programming you learn in an EEE degree enough to place with a good stead for a job as a beginner software developer?
Would it limit you from certain roles?
Hello,
I'm trying to compile some software called MSES, its written by Mark Drela in some fortran flavour. I've successfully compiled a number of subroutines through make files but there is one subroutine giving me grief. It's called dplot.f.
It has a strage syntax I can't seem to work...
I'm curious how scientists make such pretty presentations.
I've used Microsoft Powerpoint for all of my presentations since middle school. But my powerpoints lack the style I notice in many academic presentations. There seems to be a standard format on which I am missing out. See, for...

I am just finishing my freshman year as a physics major. I am wondering what software might be useful to get my hands on at this point?
In chemistry, we used computers with Linux because he said they are able to process the information much faster than a Windows-based computer. Will most of...
Anyone know of some good, free finite element analysis software?
I used NASTRAN in college, but from what I can tell that costs at least several thousand.
Hello,
I am wondering if there is any free circuit schematic software that is pretty basic and easy to use. I just need it to draw capacitors, resistors, inductors, and batteries so I can have drawings of circuits for when I have homework questions on this page to ask so I have a reference...
It's what I recently decided to go into. If anyone has any experiences/advice/suggestions to help get into good universities, that'd be great. I love programming and physics, both for the same reason, which is the logic behind it. They both make logical sense. I math, chem, etc as well, I know...
I'm fresh out of college (21 years old) and i was recently offered an offer for 25/hour (40 hours) as an entry level software developer.
My original plan was to go to graduate school but, ~52,000+ sounds too good for me to pass up. The company also supports its employees by paying for them to...
I am doing an assignment for college, (though my question is more general, rather than based on questions I have been set, hence the reason this post not being in the homework forum).
It is basic DC circuit analysis using, Kirchhoff, Thevenin and Norton theorems. Nothing taxing, so I know my...
I'm thinking about doing online tutoring. I already know how to use latex on a website but I need to be much faster for a live tutorial session.
Is there a way that I can write my math down on a tablet and have it automatically converted in rich math text and also have it automatically...
I'm doing experiment of a small moving object. The observation is made through a digital camera with microscope installed in front. I want to study the motion of it and I already recorded a video of it's motion. The next thing comes to track the trajectory and record the position of the object...
Good language "quiz" software
I have -unsuccesfully for some reason- been trying to find a "quiz" type program for learning languages.
The reason is that I have a 12 year old at home who struggles a bit when it comes to learning new words on his own.
All I (well he) need is a program which...

Hello, I wasn't sure where exactly to make the topic.
The question is what kind of program/software would you recommend using for designing electric circuit diagrams.
Cheers
Hi I am working on a project at the moment and I was wondering if there is any circuit simulator that includes the PIC 18F4550 microcontroller. I currently use Crocodile Technology and I have tried editing the code to get the chip to just appear (I don't need it to do anything just sit there so...
Good day everyone,
I'm currently looking for people who have gone or are currently into any Software Engineering program and that could provide information.
I won't be getting into any program for another year or two and I would like to know of any ways I could possibly start improving my...
You know the deal. Very controversial topic.
I'm currently enrolled in double major computer science and honors math, computing theory and numerical methods.
Lots of different opinions on which one is better than the other in terms of a career.
