Theta Definition and 333 Threads

Dear Forum, My goal is to rotate several points on a sphere by a theta and phi. For example, I have a sphere where the elevation is theta (90 to -90) and the azimuthal is phi (-180 to 180). I have the following points on the sphere: theta = [45 45 45 45] phi = [-180 90 90 180] This generate...

I am not sure what I am doing wrong but dot product of a and b =/= |a||b| when I am trying to calculate it. Theta = 0: dot product(a and b) = ax*bx + ay*by |a||b|= sqrt((ax^2+ay^2)*(ax^2 + by^2)) = sqrt((ax*bx)^2 + (ax*by)^2 + (ay*bx)^2 + (ay*by)^2) =/= ax*bx + ay*by What am I doing wrong?

This is a past paper question... find the solution here from ms ...wawawawawa...it took a little bit of my time because i was only thinking of taking limits...then realized that i was wrong as we have to remain with ##2θ##...i later realized that for small approximations, ##\cos θ≈1-\frac...

As the summary says we have ## f(x) = x^n - \theta \in \mathbb{Q}[x] ##. We will call the pth primitive root ## \omega ## and we denote ##[\mathbb{Q}(\omega) : \mathbb{Q}] = j##. We want to show that the Galois group is generated by ##\sigma, \tau## such that $$ \sigma^j = \tau^p = 1...

So in figure 4.8 the path difference between the two waves is d*sin(theta), then is the phase difference just (d*sin(theta)*2*pi)/lambda?

Here is my set up. Let t = theta for short tan(t) = 324/550 arctan(tan t) = arctan(324/550) t = arctan(324/550) Correct thus far? Note: What does "not to scale" mean in other words?

Perhaps I should ask this question in the math section of these forums. But, I'm stumped and I don't think this equation is solvable? Find theta given all the other variables:

After impact VCos(alpha) will be normal to the inclined, now i calculated for theta by using [ Tan(theta) = vCos(alpha)/vSin(alpha),. Tan(theta)= Cot(alpha) ]. I don't know how to solve further to get value of theta, according to book thta = alpha.

Hi, I am working on a Boltzmann equation question and I know that the solution I am looking for is that: log(nij/nji)=log(gij/gji)-Eij(eV)(5040/T) The only thing I don't understand is why log(e-Eij/kt) = θ = 5040/T From what I have read in textbooks, it is just a given, but I really want to...
