Thank you
Jun 26 14:01
yeah okay @anankElpis
Jun 26 13:53
Thanks @anankElpis

It's nice to see vectors getting used in a hourglass problem
Jun 26 13:52
wait since I have 3 minutes, I can flip a 11 minute hour glass and which gives me 8 minutes and flipping a 7 minute gives me 1 minute
Jun 26 13:49
I have to think
Jun 26 13:49
flipping and creating a difference is a problem lol
Jun 26 13:46
x=2 and y=-3 @anankElpis
Jun 26 13:44
I get 4 minutes can be measured when I flip both simultaneously and then I flip the 7 again making 3 minutes measurable which gave me the idea that the time intervals measured are just linear combinations, but I am not sure how do I measure 1 minute or 17 minutes?
Jun 26 13:25
I am not sure but I think all linear combinations 11x+7y can be measured and since 11 and 7 are coprime, 1 minute can actually be measured, Can someone please confirm my analogy
Jun 26 13:24
yeah so I was thinking of Bezout's theorem
Jun 26 13:24
You are given two hourglasses which can measure 11 minutes and 7 minutes (the sand
in each of the hourglasses takes that much time to run out). You don’t have access to any other clocks
and you cannot determine the amount of sand in each hourglass at an arbitrary time. You can claim
that you can measure a particular time interval t minutes if and only if you can specify a ‘start’ and
an ‘end’ time and the time interval in between these times equals t minutes. How many of the below
time intervals can be measured using the above definition?

Also the Topology spaces
Nov 5, 2024 06:10
Yeah, but then I am planning to do a minor in Mathematics ( I am majoring currently in Chemical Engineering ) Can you suggest some books to learn those Transforms to solve differential equations?
Nov 5, 2024 06:01
Oh Thanks @leslietownes :-)
Nov 5, 2024 05:24
Are the 2 kernals related?!!
Nov 5, 2024 05:24
Btw I learnt kernal or the numl space in linear algebra and now I am finding a similar term when my prof taught the Laplace transform

Hello All
Mar 11, 2024 16:30
Yeah Thank you, I got it @Jakobian
Mar 11, 2024 16:27
Dy = x solution?
Mar 11, 2024 16:27
so is it x^2/2 ?
Mar 11, 2024 16:26
@Jakobian Oh
Mar 11, 2024 15:17
I had to use exponential shift rule to solve this problem
Mar 11, 2024 15:17
$(D^2 − 3D+2)y=xe^x$
Mar 11, 2024 15:16
yeah
Mar 11, 2024 15:13
@XanderHenderson I am taking a class on solving differential equations ( intro ) also I am not aware of the spectral theorem or functional calculus, My prof just defined the Differential operator and I am solving some questions and I have come across (1/D)x which I am unable to understand
Mar 11, 2024 15:10
@XanderHenderson functional calculus if that deals with solving differential equations..
Mar 11, 2024 15:08
I need relevant information to understand (1/D)x..
Mar 11, 2024 15:08
I am learning to solve differential equations using operators
Mar 11, 2024 15:06
What is (1/D)x = ? where D is the differential operator D := d/dx
Mar 11, 2024 14:30
@Jakobian Thank you
Mar 11, 2024 13:56
Can I write the power series?
Mar 11, 2024 13:55
Like I have $\frac{1}{(D-i)(D+1)}$
Mar 11, 2024 13:55
Can I use this for complex numbers too?
Mar 11, 2024 13:44
Oh, Btw I am learning this for solving differential equations using operators
Mar 11, 2024 13:43
oh

Can you guys suggest some physics books?!
Dec 12, 2024 16:42
Thanks @naturallyInconsistent
Dec 12, 2024 16:42
Yeah, because I am a beginner myself, I'll try understanding the concept first lol
Dec 12, 2024 16:31
Is there no other way to explain superposition ( say I wanted to explain these concepts in a fun way to my younger brother, Cannot I do that )
Dec 12, 2024 16:28
@naturallyInconsistent yeah I will look into it
Dec 12, 2024 16:28
But I actually am a chemical Engineer major, so I don't know much of physics, but I wanna learn...
Dec 12, 2024 16:27
I know subspaces, nullspace and dimension and some more concepts too
Dec 12, 2024 16:26
pretty much, I had taken an intermediate course on Linear Algebra
Dec 12, 2024 16:25
@naturallyInconsistent I didn't learn much of quantum physics, I know classical physics though and I am trying to learn Modern Physics, I know concepts like superposition though, yet I am not able to understand how will a a quantum particle emit and not emit radiation at the same time?!
Dec 12, 2024 15:29
I don't understand how will the cat be both alive and dead, and how is the atom a mix of both stable and emitting states?
Dec 12, 2024 15:29
Could someone explain Schrodinger's cat thought experiment?

Can you explain how the cat is both alive and dead in Schrodinger's cat thought experiment
Dec 12, 2024 15:25
Heyo @JohnRennie
