    Dynamic Systems: Question about Isoclines of Systems

    Hi, I was doing some practice problems online for dynamical systems and came across the following question about isoclines. It left me with 2 questions that I hoping to get some insight to. Question: 1. What are isoclines? (I have tried doing an internet search, but the results don't help me)...

    How do Computer Algebra Systems handle the scope of variables?

    Computer languages handle the scope of variables in a precise way so that if one symbol, such as "k" is used in different contexts, the program keeps these separate. When sophisticated human beings re-use symbols in writing mathematics, they can keep things straight, but I don't think they...

    Exploring Spin Magnetization in Non-Ideal Systems

    We have a set of N spins arranged in one dimension that can take the values $$s_i=\pm 1$$. The Hamiltonian of the system is: $$H=-\frac{J}{2N}\sum_{i \neq j}^{N} s_i s_j -B\sum_{i=1}^{N}s_i.$$ where $$J>0$$, B is an external magnetic field, and the first sum runs through all the values of i and...

    Title says it all. I am interested in studying the physics complex systems and nonlinear physics, however i find it very hard to find a good program as it seems this area of study is not the most mainstream of them. I found out about Max Planck but still want to know if there are other strong...

    How do you identify the systems in which Newton's Third Law is obeyed?

    eg. For a ball in free fall (ignoring air resistance) there is only one force acting if the system is just considered to be the ball. It seems necessary to go to the system which includes the Earth for identification of the reaction force to be made. Is there any rule for how big a system must...

    A player has (wins+0.5draws)/(wins+draws+losses)=(200+0.5*0)/(200+0+0) and another has (1200+0.5*0)/(1200+0+1000). This rating shows correctly that the first player is much stronger than the second. Whereas the Elo, Glicko and Truskill rates (roughly about) the first with 800+200*8-0*8=2400 and...
