Hi , I'd like to know if anybody could help me understand the following: I was following the following derivation of the Lorentz transformations (http://vishnu.mth.uct.ac.za/omei/gr/chap1/node4.html) and i managed to understand everything except possibly the most crucial step...how does one get...
Ok I need some help. I have.
t=\frac{t_0}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}}
and i rearrange to get:
v=\sqrt{c^2(1-\frac{t_0^2}{t^2})}
Ok I am setting C=1
tnot = 518400
t = 4.7304 *10^17
as you can imagine my answer i know will be .999999999999 with a lot of 9'sV.
The problem is...
We have just recently been doing transformations of sin and cos graphs, but we must find out transformations of logarithm graphs.
A typical log function could be log (x).
What i want to know is, when you change the base, what would happen to the graph, when you put a number out the front...
Hey people,
I just finished reading a chapter in a book on quantum mechanics that has deeply disturbed me. The chapter was about symmetry in quantum mechanics. It was divided in two basic parts: time dependent and time independent transformations.
Time independent transformations were...
I'm kind of stuck with the xf(0), hope this is the right place for this question?
let L(f) = 2Df - xf(0)
is L a linear transformation on the space of differentiable functions?
thanks for your help

I'd like to check my proof. It seems easy enough, but I'd like to make sure that I'm not missing anything:
If V is the space of all continuous functions on [0,1] and if
Tf = integral of f(x) from 0 to 1 for f in V, show that T is a linear transformation From V into R1.
Like I said the...
Something has me puzzled about the theory of relativity.
At time 0, a photon is emitted from the origin of a rectangular coordinate system. At time t, the photon is at position x, on the positive x axis. Therefore in amount of time t-0=t, the photon has traveled a distance of x. The speed...
Hey guys
What exactly are the Lorentz transformations? In the "Was Einstein a genius" thread, it looks like the transformations were known before Einstein had SR/GR?
im working on these, and I am supposed to find the image of a set under a given transformation. can someone please explain to me a good way of doing this?
Let g(x) belonging to Pn-1(R) be an arbiitrary polynomial of degree n-1 or less. Show that there exists a polynomial f(x) belonging to Pn(R) such that xf''(x)-f'(x)=g(x)"
I interpreted this question as having to prove the linear transformation T: Pn(R) --> Pn-1(R) where f(x) |-->...
In the "intro to differential forms" thread by lethe, Super Mentor Tom defines a vector as something that transforms under rotation (multiplication by an orthogonal matrix) and parity (reflection through a mirror) in a certain way. I'm currently reading "Introduction to Vector and Tensor...
In a vector space R^3, is given a transformation A with a subscript A(x1,x2,x3)=(2*x1+x2, x1+x2+2*x3, -x2+x3).
Linear transformation B has in the basis; (1,1,1), (1,0,1), (1,-1,0) a matrix T:
[-1 2 3]
[ 1 1 0]...
