I am intrigued by this verse (Genesis 6:3): יהוה said, “My breath shall not abide in humankind forever, since it too is flesh; let the days allowed them be one hundred and twenty years.” I see there is an interesting explanation from the Tzafnat Pa'neach, but I am not able to fully understand w...

After researching some stuff about Turing Machines and Automaton Theory I stumbled upon the concept of "counterfactual computers".

I have searched the forum and found answers stating that E Major is a secondary dominant in the key of C because it is the V chord from A Minor. What I don't understand is why the E chord is Major and not Minor. The key of A Minor is simply the relative to C Major, right? So, how is the E Minor w...

Let's say I want to integrate $\int\sec^3xdx$. Due to the way this expression is set up, you must use integration by parts, and not u-sub, etc. Applying integration by parts, I get $\sec{x}\tan{x}-\int{\sec{x}\tan^2{x}dx}$. For the new integral here, using integration by parts again results in $\...

After ignition the walls of the SRB are separated from the "reaction chamber" by solid rocket fuel.

Let $f \in C^1(\mathbb R)$ and look at $y'(t) = f(y(t))$, $y(0) = y_0$ such that $f(y_0) > 0$. Show that every solution is strictly monotone increasing. My idea: It is clear, if $f>0$ on $\mathbb R$. So assume that $y'$ is not strictly increasing. So there exists $a$ with $y'(a)=f(y(a))\leq 0$...
