What do you call these problems and where can I find more

In summary, the conversation revolves around using infinitesimal elements in physics, specifically in solving problems related to fields, shell theorem, moment of inertia, and the shape of a metal disk. The person is looking for more resources, particularly a textbook on applied calculus-based physics, to further study these concepts. The main takeaway is the importance of learning multivariate calculus before attempting to solve these types of problems.

For example - the field due to a thin rod , proving shell theorem, moment of inertia, shape of a metal disk held over a flame, etc..

In all of these you cleverly use infinitismal elements with the appropriate conditions and integrate. I am looking for more of these infinitismal element physics stuff. Well, need not even be physics honestly, . Some applied calculus based physics textbook perhaps?

These problems are there in any electrodynamics/classical mechanics book, but before you do that or if you just want to do vector calculus ( under which these problems are studied ) you need to get a multivariable calculus book.

Moral of the story : Learn calculus of multivariate functions first then you can solve these problems.
 

FAQ: What do you call these problems and where can I find more

What do you call these problems?

The problems you are referring to are commonly known as research questions or scientific questions. They are questions that guide the process of scientific inquiry and help scientists to explore and understand a particular topic or phenomenon.

What is the purpose of these problems?

The purpose of research questions is to provide a clear focus for scientific investigations and to guide the collection and analysis of data. They also help to ensure that the research is relevant and meaningful, and can lead to new insights and discoveries.

How do you create effective research questions?

Effective research questions are typically clear, specific, and testable. They should be based on a topic that is of interest to the researcher and should be focused enough to be answered through the scientific method. It is also important to consider the scope and complexity of the question, as well as any potential ethical concerns.

Where can I find more information about creating research questions?

There are many resources available for learning about how to create effective research questions. Some good places to start include scientific research methods textbooks, online research methods courses, and academic articles related to your specific field of study. You can also consult with experienced scientists or researchers for guidance and advice.

How do research questions contribute to the scientific community?

Research questions are essential for advancing scientific knowledge and understanding. By addressing important questions and finding answers through the scientific method, researchers can contribute to the body of knowledge in their field and potentially make significant contributions to society. Research questions also help to guide future research and can inspire new ideas and collaborations among scientists.
