Later most exercises involve at least two digits. A common exercise in elementary algebra calls for factorization of polynomials. Another exercise is completing the square in a quadratic polynomial. An artificially produced word problem is a genre of exercise intended to keep mathematics relevant. Stephen Leacock described this type: [1]
In the differential form formulation on arbitrary space times, F = 1 / 2 F αβ dx α ∧ dx β is the electromagnetic tensor considered as a 2-form, A = A α dx α is the potential 1-form, = is the current 3-form, d is the exterior derivative, and is the Hodge star on forms defined (up to its orientation, i.e. its sign) by the ...
For example, consider a 10 W transmitter at a distance of 1 million metres, radiating over a bandwidth of 1 MHz. By the time that power has reached the observer, the power is spread over the surface of a sphere with area 4πr 2 or about 1.26×10 13 m 2, so its flux density is 10 / 10 6 / (1.26×10 13) W m −2 Hz −1 = 8×10 7 Jy.
Numerical analysis is the study of algorithms that use numerical approximation (as opposed to general symbolic manipulations) for the problems of mathematical analysis (as distinguished from discrete mathematics). [25] Modern numerical analysis does not seek exact answers, because exact answers are often impossible to obtain in practice.
As a pencil of light goes through a flat plane of glass, its half-angle changes to θ 2. Due to Snell's law, the numerical aperture remains the same: NA = n 1 sin θ 1 = n 2 sin θ 2. In optics, the numerical aperture (NA) of an optical system is a dimensionless number that characterizes the range of angles over which the system can accept or ...
Few things will put a damper on your vacation or holiday faster than food poisoning.The intense stomach pain, rushing to the toilet and feeling relegated to bed keeps just about everyone out of ...
No. 25 Baylor showed little rust after more than a two-week break, rolling to a 107-53 victory over visiting Arlington Baptist on Friday night in Waco, Texas. The Bears (8-3) dominated in every ...
[1]: 236 The birefringence of the material is the difference between these indices of refraction, Δn = n e − n o. [1]: 237 Light propagating in the direction of the optical axis will not be affected by the birefringence since the refractive index will be n o independent of polarization. For other propagation directions the light will split ...
