Symbol Definition and 377 Threads

I have the number 1 next to Nabula and I do not know how to solve it. For reference, I am a Korean person, so it would be very difficult if you explain it difficultly.

Can someone help me with the Latex symbol/code for "does not divide"? Peter

In my nuclear engineering class we are looking at relativity right now. For one of our homework problems we have to derive an equation for a particle moving at relativistic speed showing the kinetic energy in terms of the particles momentum. In the answer they have a term mc and I have no idea...

As far as I can tell, in GR, the Chirstoffel symbol in the expression of the Connection is analogous to the vector potential, A, in the definition of the Covariant Derivative. The Chirstoffel symbol compensates for changes in curvature and helps define what it means for a tensor to remain...

How to proof that εμνρσ Rμνρσ =0 ? Thanks.

I have found about Strukturbericht and got some information. But I don`t know what these number means. I heard that Mn_5Ge_3 is a D8_8 type structure. I already found that D means A_m B_n compound. But I can`t find anywhere what the number mean.

Hi, I would like to know if is possible define a set rule explicitly. ex.: Define the set A explicitly where ξ = ℕ and A = {x | x < 3}. The maplesoft said the (N) is a representation of Natural Numbers. f:=proc() local a,b; a:=N; b:= 3; print(a<b); end proc; when I...

The below image shows the end part of a formal proof of the inertia tensor. There's a weird symbol in there that I've never seen before, and google isn't bringing much in the way of explanation. Anybody know what it is? At a guess I'd say it has quite a strong connection to the Kronecker delta...

Homework Statement What does the symbol [=] mean? Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution I tried looking this up online but can't find anything. I think it has something to do with dimensional analysis or denoting the units of a quantity. E.g., is it valid to write: t [=] seconds ?

I want to make an app, but I have no idea whether it can use the shuffle or the loop symbols. Are they copyrighted? Thanks in advance

what does "Gg" represent ?

Dear PF Forum, Can anyone help me? I am in need of musical symbol font which can make A: single or double (triple is better) horizontal line B: Upper dot for 1 octave higher C: Lower dot for 1 octave lower, Perhaps anyone know where to download such font. I need this for my church choir, so...

long I wanted to ask someone from the Americans. What was Marilyn Monroe for America? She was beautiful but not the most beautiful one among the American actresses. She also was not most talented. So why did the whole nation go mad from her? How she became one of the symbols of USA?

Homework Statement It is shown in Carrol, an Introduction to GR that the variatiom of Christoffel symbols are : https://scontent-sin1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t34.0-12/13535871_1161725257182772_897443562_n.jpg?oh=df1a6d26aa0b199d4684b5f0785bee20&oe=576ECCCA But i have no idea how to derive that, any...

When I write 1.516*10^-5 in Matlab it gives 1.516000000000000e-05 but I do not want to use e symbol. So which format should I use. I could use format bank but it has only two digits. I need more digits. Would you like to help me. Thank you.

hi, I have seen that christoffel symbol definition or logic is shown in different ways. For instance, in first attachment ( RED box) you can see a normal vector (n) next to the christoffel symbol, but in second image everything is same except that there is a normal vector. Is there a confusion...

I have failed to Google the answer because I don't even know what to call it. You know that little "E" used in Engineering notation that lacks serifs? How do I make that "E"?

What exactly is the name and operation of the symbol that is found right after the approximately equal sign in the attachment? I have come across it a lot in readings, and I feel like I should clear up what it is.

This is I think a really dumb question, but I never got it, why do we have that dot symbol when we integrate. Like in gauss's law, we have ∫E⋅dA . why is that ⋅ there? Thank you for your help

hi, How do we prove the torsion tensor is a tensor using the subtraction of christoffel symbols?? I am aware of the fact that subtraction of christoffel symbols equals the torsion. How can we use this fact to prove the tensor?? Could you please give the proof or share the link which prove it??

hi, I have seen some examples related to christoffel symbol when it was symmetric, but I have not seen any anti symmetric christoffel symbol examples. For instance, in torsion tensor, if we have anti symmetric christoffel symbol, torsion tensor does not vanish. To sum up, in what kind of...

I recently stumbled across a chemical equation, which had a symbol I have never seen before. If anyone can tell me what this symbol means, I would be very grateful. Here's the equation: Ca(OH)2(aq) + Na2CO3(s) → CaCO3 ↓ + 2 NaOH(aq) ...and I'd like to know what the "↓" symbol means. Many...

Mod note: Thread title changed from "Sign used in total differential and small errors" to "Symbol used in total differential and small errors" My notes say that z=f(x,y) can be defined as the sum of the changes with respect to x,y respectively. The formula is: dz = ∂f/∂x * dz + ∂f/∂y * dy...

I wish to get a bigoplus symbol like the one in Knapp's text, Basic Algebra, as follows:https://www.physicsforums.com/attachments/5395but when i use the Latex code \bigoplus_{ (e,f) } \mathbb{K} (e, f) I get the (e, f) in slightly the wrong place as here: \bigoplus_{ (e,f) } \mathbb{K} (e...

I looked on the wiki math symbol page and couldn't find one, so I am thinking "corresponds" is wrong word. Is it supposed to be equals sign with hat on it? for example, "energy directly corresponds to wavenumber" thanks for any help

I just need to know what I am being asked for here, I don't recall seeing this symbol before. Is this net force?

I need the symbol that discribes a singularity for a novel I am writing. Can anyone help? Many thanks Mark

I'm reading Zee's Gravity book, can anyone help me understand the explanation on this part, I understand everything except the last part, he said to use (I.4.14) so that I could solve for the quantity shown in the image, what does he mean by that and how?

Dear PF Forum, I'm trying to understand antioxidant and free radicals. But I'm afraid that my chemistry is weak. Perhaps someone can help me with this picture? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_peroxide This is Hydrogen Peroxide. Neutral. As much as I can surmise in this picture is... 1...

My program says it doesn't recognise the symbol signum(double) or sqrt(double)! I have definitely done the whole import java.lang.Math; thing. And signum and sqrt aren't symbols anyway. Is that too vague? I can post the actual code. It's only my second week learning java, so it's supposed to be...

Hi everyone. I've been curious about a particular symbol, but I've never seen it used or mentioned in any context. I don't really have much information about its usage, so I thought I would ask around and see if anyone knew about its application. I saw this symbol in Microsoft word. How...

Hey guys, The problem is #49 and it is a simple calculus problem, but the part that I am confused on is how the solution solves the trig. equation. In the solving, the solution brings out the plus-minus symbol and puts it outside the arccos, but I feel as if it should be inside the arccos. I...

The functional one used for variations in calculus of variations. Had a google, can't seem to find. Thanks alot.

Let ##(M,g)## be an ##n##-dimensional pseudo-Riemannian manifold of signature ##(n_+, n_-)## and define the Levi-Civita symbol via $$\varepsilon_{i_1 \dots i_n} \, \theta^{i_1 \dots i_n} = n! \, \theta^{[1 \dots n]} = \theta^1 \wedge \dots \wedge \theta^n$$ where ##\theta^1, \dots, \theta^n##...

See attached image. This is part of a one-line diagram of a solar-with-battery backup power supply system. Two inverters, one for the batteries and one for the solar panels, feed these things (one of which I've circled in red) at the inputs to a splitter, which splits the load between the two...
