Hi

relatedly, I do effectively volunteer tutoring for a Discord server for Matlab (a scrientific/academic programming language and tool suite). Discord servers/reddit pages/things like this can be a solid stream of new problems. being a volunteer is useful to give you (more) power to turn down the occasional entitled person. explore avenues like this if you want smaller, lower investment jobs. I'll defer to others' suggestions of open source projects if you want something bigger.

regarding expensive: 2000 calories = 2.3 kWh, which costs like 50 cents in the most expensive US states. electricity is waaay cheaper than food

uh, no, they have identical enunciation

I'm pedantic enough I came here to post this, so good work. If they mentioned the relative change in linear mass density, I'd be happier...

you got me there

thats already how floating point numbers work! except the order of magnitude is base2 (otherwise processing on hardware becomes a nightmare)

this is not really IEEE at fault... any finite digit expansion will have this issue. last I checked, computers don't have infinite anything

Similar situation. Lyuba is very likely the right spelling.

I think you mean \LaTeX

Specular reflection happens similarly well in both directions, it's more just a question of the amount of light from each region.

n-->inf, yup! I think the number of terms in the Fourier series will need to grow significantly faster than the index for the Hilbert curve

+1 they seemed off, but I was confident at least the blue range was off.

If you don't have such a nice way to simplify the problem, you can use Kirkoff's loop and junction laws to solve this type of problem.

Just to be clear, you're using a symmetry argument to say the current on that middle wire is zero. (Flipping those two branches=no change)

More like a slide rule!

Gorgeous. These definitely qualify for my wallpapers folder.

A comparatively small price to pay, though.

After some thought, I realize I would need to literally give a full intro to quantum mechanics... I'll consider doing it, but not now.

the probability of measuring the particle at a certain location at a certain time. (2/2)

It's not a string, it's just showing the value of a function over time and space (t and x). This represents something strongly tied to (1/2)

But I'm not visualizing music...

Goodness knows I won't be there :P

piece of the total energy of the system. The energy they hold is particular to the shape and frequency of each wave. (2/2)

It's not quite that the waves themselves add or cancel to conserve energy, it's that each individual oscillating waves carry a specific(1/2)

I'm considering doing a more detailed (mathematical) post about it later, and I'll link it here if I do.

This is just the real component of the quantum state that represents this system as it changes over time.

This wave is the sum of many individual waves, which oscillate at different frequency so that energy is conserved.
