or, more generally, you could say [math]y=av^n[/math](where v is another function or combination of them ex. sinx or x^2+x)[math]\frac{d}{dx}y=nav^{n-1}{\frac{d}{dx}}v[/math]

grrr, my physics text is confuzzling! it says w=fd it says it is a scalar, and it also says w=fdcosx f and d are vectors so, you can't just multiply them. which one is a magnitude or is it both? it looks like it is trying to get a projection of one vector on the other. that would make sense, but it said it was a scalar. is it a dot product? that would give a scalar.

Evolution of Physics by Einstein and Leopold Universe in a Nutshell by Hawking The Elegant Universe by Greene The Fabric of the Cosmos by Greene there are much much more, but those are some good ones i've come across

one of my favourite examples is you have a sheet of material. you are going to make a box out of it by cutting squares out of the corners and folding up the sides. what size must the squares be to maximize the volume of the box? sure it's an easy problem, but i like it. i'm not sure why.

they (string theorists) apparently have VERY approxamate equations....they make a big deal about it.

i didn't say it didn't have equations, i said it didn't have EXACT equations. the ones they have are approxamate.

thanks, but i'm not working on subs. i chose to work on carriers. it's less pay, but there are more people and i like not being completely submerged in case something goes wrong. you say that singularities do not exist. i was under the impression that inside each black hole is a singularity. is that not the case?

i think she'd be good for it. vote IMM for Philosophy/Religion Mod 2005!

sensing time!=time kinda like how the way we see things isn't how they work. it's all in the brain. like our eyes suck at distinguishing moving objects. move your arm in front of your face really fast. it's blurry. does that mean that your arm spreads out?

not necessarily. actually, that may not be possible with space/time being relative. what i meant by it having quanta is that it is discontinuous in such a way that a timeline isn't infinately crowded. like, you can't halve an interval forever.

yea. what does this: have to do with it?

what are you talking about and what does it have to do with this topic?

everything with mass affects everything else. your typing, iirc, theoretically creates very small gravity waves since the mass is moving.

from his OP, i thought he was refering to wether or not spacetime had quanta. i often here people saying that plank lenth/time might be the quanta since gravity gets very strong at that short range and length/time don't always make sense.

ahhh........so, whatever they look at shows up on the Yahoo! search engine?

what is a "Yahoo! Slurp Spider"? i just saw many of them on the Who's Online page.

one thread for this is enough.

the delvar(x) worked. thanx for the help

ah, the "chemistry, physics, and natural selection don't exist; it's all random random random random Bob Dole random random random" strawman.

grrr.....it keeps plugging in 9 for x. like when i'm doing integrals, direvatives, sums, products, limits, and such, it keeps doing it. i pushed "x store x:", but it just kept it 9. what do i need to do? also, y is 8, but the rest of the variables are just variables.

i collect swords and other sharp objects, because stabities are cool, imo. i'm not sure why i like them so much.
