  1. Therefore, your mind = {censored}ED. I understand what is happening in the last two lines, but I'm missing just a tad of math knowledge for the rest. Are these Psi functions wave functions (as a chemist that's what they've always denoted to me). It looks like a solution to find an eigenvalue of a wave function at a particular set of potential energy condition. Also looks like presenting the solution for both the 0th level and the nth level, where Psi® is the eigenfunction with an eigenvalue of sigma-naught and Un® is the eigenfunction for the nth case with an eigenvalue of sigma-subn when applying the Hermetian operator [-1/2u grad - v®].
  2. It's for use in science. It's basically saying that 3 and 2 are both precise to the ones, so when dividing you give an answer that is precise to the ones because if you were to give it to the tenths it would imply a level of precision you do not have. What we said.
  3. I dont understand maths and that quote means nothing to me half of 3 is 1.5 to my simple mind Dont know how I got a B at GCSE. This is an information issue. While 3/2 = 1.5, when we do math in science we never report more significant figures than exist in the number with the least significant figures in the operations. It ensure that we don't add a sense of higher accuracy which is a function of math rather than a function of precision of measurement. For example, if you have a scale that measures weight to the thousandths place, even though you can do math which results in digits beyond the thousandths place you don't report that or carry those digits into additional equations because we don't actually know what's happening at that level of accuracy. So yes, 3/2=1.5 but in some scenarios you won't report the answer to that level of accuracy.
  4. 1) .999... is =1, that proof is not invalid. 2) You cannot divide by 0 ever, and multiplying by 0 removes all information so it cannot be used in these proofs. This is why I shouldn't argue with people on the internet, because even fundamental math proofs that require the most basic logic skills taught in high school are lost on the internet.
  5. Most joint custody decisions involve a certain radius in which the parent must live within or they forfeit their right to No judge in their right mind is going to put them with the mother if it means denying them a relationship with their father and placing them in a home where they would be perpetually uprooted and potentially without a mother for long periods of time, certainly not if you have a good lawyer.
  6. Sounds to me like a lot of fuzz. Big Muff?
  7. Criminal Justice-Dutchess Community College-3rd and last year at DCC, hopefully going to Marist College in the fall. I've got a good handful of friends at Marist...
  8. Chemistry Sophomore Brown University
  9. Sorry to bump and oldish thread but I've been wondering about the Blue Baby Bottle for acoustic, vocals, and about 3 feet off of my amp for guitar work. Anyone have strong feelings on them?
