I want to use MikTex to do my physics laboratory informs. The thing is I have to write the informs in spanish, and I've found that I can't use the tilde on my work, which is really bad, because I can't write it orthographically as it must be done e.g. I can't write Dinámica, but I can write...

hello! I'm new over here.. Hope I'm writing where it should be written. What is the solution of x=tangent(x) ? Well.. in fact I'm looking for the point where the graphs of function tangent and its inverse, arctangent, intersect each other (if we plot them on the same...

For finding domain of a function in Rn, I have jot down some of the points. Assuming, if one or more of these 'x'es are a part of the expression of a function f(x1, x2, x3,…, xn), we do the following in writing down the domain: - for √x we write x≥0 - for 1/x we write x≠0 - for 1/√x we...

Perhaps this is more of a poll... How do you write your numerals in the U.S.? 1. My ones are European-esque if the 1 is to stand alone (that is, if it's not a 1 that's going to be in the middle of an unambiguous number, then it will have a hook and a base...but if it's smack in the...

Hi, this is my first post, so if it's in the wrong place please let me know. I'm writing a bit of fiction, more fantasy than science fiction, but I don't want to immediately offend the sensibilities of everybody who knows something about science. I really like the idea of a six dimensional...

Homework Statement How do you write Fe2S3 in IUPAC method, it would be great if you could explain and show some examples of IUPAC methods. The Attempt at a Solution I just want to see how you do one of them then I can probably get the rest, thanks a lot.

The Farey sequence F_n (F subscript n) for any positive integer n is the set of irreducible rational numbers a/b with 0<(or equal to)a<(or equal to)b<(or equal to) n and (a,b)=1 arranged in increasing order. The first one should be: F_1 = {0/1,1/1} F_2 = {0/1,1/2,1/1} F_3 =...

Homework Statement I have to fill in the missing info... Y=A*Sin[B(x-c)] +D A = 3. For finding the amplitude all I have to do it multiply 1/2 by the range? D = 3. For finding upward shift all I have to do is see if the center has moved up? period = 4pi/3 so B = 3/2 I am confused on...

Hello, Recently I've been attempting to put together a brief book on mathematics. The first section is short and introductory as I lead up into calculus. I kind of feel bad that I skipped over conics, geometric series, permutations and combinations, transformations of functions, and so many...

Homework Statement I worked a textbook problem earlier where I had to write the Lagrangian for a pendulum (of mass m and length l) connected to a massless support moving along the x-axis. I chose the angle theta as my generalized coordinate, since the problem specified that the acceleration of...

I am getting a ton of errors trying to compile this. I am including PAPI and ATLAS calls but so far I think those calls are working ok. For each subroutine, I am getting "unclassifiable statement" for the subroutine definition as well as "unexpected implicit none" and "expecting end program...

Hi all, I have taken Calc III, Linear Algebra (Bretscher's book), and an ODE class, which have all been mostly computational. I plan on taking upper level math courses such as abstract algebra and analysis, and my understanding is that the latter are proof based rather than computational. Are...

This is all done really fast for fun, may be some mistakes. I'm a paintball player, and there seems to be a very prevalent misconception that certain paintball markers shoot paintballs greater distances than others. This isn't true because before actually playing, your marker must be...

I'm currently filling our applications and one of the applications requires a statement of purpose of "approximately 1000 words." The one I have written is currently 1500 words so it obviously has to be trimmed down. But as 1000 words is not a strict cap, I was wondering what a reasonable amount...

I've been thinking a lot about my education lately and I'm thinking science may not be the right path for me. I won't go into a list of reasons why, but I'm pretty sure it's just not for me. However, I'm still fairly interested and knowledgeable on the basics (I'm in my second year of...
