Lady Macbeth has plotted this out carefully and diligently. Can I use the word "plot" in such a way? I know most people would want to replace that with "planned", but I don't want to keep using that word.
Is there a more casual way to say "send me an email"? I'm going to put this at the bottom of the "contact" section of a website. "Pop me an email" is the only one I've managed to come up with.
I'm wondering if an ordinary power series expansion of the floor function is possible, and what it is if it's possible. Additionally, I'm wondering what some of the most common uses of the floor function are in practice. Additionally, I'd like to know what use a series expansion of a floor function may be. So, again, what's the series expansion of the floor function?
I'd like to say: The calm, balmy evening air showed no sign of the carnage that would ensue. My question is: should it be "no sign of" or "no signs of"? Obviously the word "sign" is countable noun in this context. One sign. Two signs. But NO SIGN means zero sign. Should I use sign in singular form "sign" or plural form "signs" here?
According to wolfram a function is monotonic if its derivative never changes sign, but the derivative doesn't have to be continuous. So I feel the answer is Yes, tangent is monotonically increasing. Maybe not?
We're a bunch of friends building an RC boat, this may sound stupid but I had an argument with a friend where he insisted that his design will work. Basically, he's saying that by putting a powerfull fan and a piece of tissue as a sail, when the fan will blow air into it, the boat will move. What do you think?
I came across this line in a site: Can u make sth effective for a sports betting related product? I can't understand what is meant by sth effective here. I tried to google it but was unable to understand. Can anybody explain to me what is meant by this word? Is it an English word or is it from another language?
Is there a word that describes a discussion that never gets to the core of the issue, but continuously lingers on the periphery? I was hoping to fit it into a sentence such as : "He derided his retainers for their _____."
We know that multiplicity of least eigenvalue of laplacian matrix of graph gives us number of connected components in graph.What is intuition behind this theorem? How do we know that this works in reality?Is there any proof of that sort?
I'm quite confused about this actually! In fact, I had always thought current flows from a region of higher potential to a lower one. Does it have anything to do with the fact that it's a source of emf instead? What significance does that have?
So I'm trying to prove the validity of this formula and I am a bit lost, not sure how to start. I know generally speaking a valid formula is one where if all the premises are true, then the conclusion can not be false, but I don't know how to prove this really. any help is appreciated https://i.stack.imgur.com/Opmck.jpg
I was writing an email, and I started off with I am writing to inform you of certain errors... However, is this use outdated or awkward in emails (assuming that I don't know the recipient)? What about formal correspondence (e.g. letters)?
Are they two different phenomena or same phenomena having different properties in different situations? In what scenario should we consider induced emf and in what scenario should we consider motional emf? And which of the following does faraday's law and lenz law mention about? Are both caused due to induced electric field?
I'm trying to represent some string conditions in terms of regex. One of those conditions I find hard to transform is that the string must have at least three different characters. So is there any plausible regex for that condition? Suppose the alphabet only contains English characters (a-z A-Z). Thank you,
What's the exact term used to describe the "why" in some people's spoken English (somewhat rural or archaic by now, I suppose) as in "When I saw how much it cost, why, I knew I couldn't afford it".....or "When our family car broke down, why, we'd just walk, until we could fix it", etc....anybody recognize these? If so, why the "why"?
I am doing documentation for a web application issue and I'm not sure how best to word what I'm trying to say: "This appears to work no longer in any web browser." "This appears no longer to work in any web browser." "This appears not to work any longer in any web browser." Which is most correct, or are they all equally correct?
Sometimes, my supervisor writes emails to ask whether we can cancel or reschedule our meetings, or request me other things. The way he writes emails is very polite. And I usually reply him by: Yes, sure! Yes, it's fine! I wonder if these responses are considered polite? How do I politely (but not really formally) respond to my Professors' requests? Thank you very much!
I am designing an algorithm that generates shapes of bezier curves. Each output are control points for a single curve. In some cases, it should return a circle. Which control points does the algorithm have to output for the shape to become a circle?
It's an exercise of the book Linear Algebra Done Right. I'm not clear about how to prove these problems, would you please offer me some suggestion about how to improve this kind of ability, thanks a lot.
A scammer got a hollow gold bar and fills it with a combination of lead and air, with the same average density as gold. What's the simplest way of discovering the fraud? I know that x-rays will see it, but are there simple means for analyzing it? (without destroying it)
I'd like to have output an equals sign that has a small question mark over the top of it. (I'm proving an equation, but it is not obvious until the final step that the equation is true.) Do I need to create a special symbol myself (via a macro, etc.), or is there already one defined?
If I have a friend that spreads their interests too thin, gathering a large body of superficial knowledge related to many topics, I'd probably use the phrase "jack of all trades, master of none" to describe them. Are there any phrases or idioms to describe the opposite? Someone suffering from an extreme overspecialisation, who is so singular in their expertise it perhaps damages effectiveness?
Title says it all, I'm looking for the formula to get the bearing from one point to another on a number plane. I have found examples of this for lat/lon around the earth but that's not exactly what i need. Thanks
Besides SVO, which are the word orders that can be found in English? Are there any that are peculiar to dialects such as Singlish or Indian English? Please provide an example sentence for each order along with pertinent information such as tense, mood, voice, etc.
Question: Is it possible to start a grammatically-correct English sentence with the word "Than"? If no, what other English words share this property? Background: Trevor claimed that it is impossible. This is an attempt to verify or repudiate Trevor's claim.
Example: "So," I said, after deciding on a topic of conversation, "do you like karaoke?" "So," I said, after having decided on a topic of conversation, "do you like karaoke?" What's the difference? Is having decided an uncommon usage?
Suppose I have a weighted connected graph which is traversable (each vertex has even degree) and I wish to walk over all edges. Clearly any Eulerian path minimizes the total weight. What can be said about the case of non-traversable (weighted connected) graphs? Can a minimum-weight path still be found in polynomial time?
Is there any word or phrase to describe a person who always feels rthat he has forgotten something even if he hasn't forgotten something really, while going out from somewhere? Example :- Peter is a xxx as he always feels that he has forgotten something, whenever he goes out of his house. What can be the replacement of xxx?
The plural form of leaf is leaves, although according to Merriam-Webster leafs is also correct. Dwarf can be pluralized as either dwarfs or dwarves. Conversely, the words roof and safe are pluralized as roofs and safes. Is there any logic underpinning these variations? Is there a historical trend where words that were previously pluralized as -ves are now being increasingly pluralized as -fs?
If the question state: A connected and undirected graph, then does this graph allow loop or multiple edges? I searched over the internet, but some allow, some don't. It's so confusing. Any idea? Thank you.
I am doing Spivak's Calculus, and I find it EXTREMELY difficult. I usually ask questions here because I cannot do the problems on my own. How long should it take to do a Spivak problem? Is it preparatory for contest problems such as Putnam? Thanks!
For a long time I was wondering why there is I win instead of I won. I met such usage in a lot of games and movies. For me, it's logical to say I won, because this winning action is done already. I win for me seems like I'm winning right now. Can anyone clarify this for me?
Palindromes are words, sentences, numbers that are the same forwards and backwards. Is there a term for words that are one word forwards but a different word backwards? For example, star backwards is rats, or god is dog.
Are there any good books on musical theory from a mathematical standpoint? Is "Music theory and mathematics : chords, collections, and transformations", edited by Jack Douthett, Martha M. Hyde, and Charles J. Smith, one on them?
As far as I know, it is valid to say "they can produce music on their own terms" when you want to say that a group can produce music without having to answer to anybody but themselves. Is it also valid to say "they can produce music in their own terms"? Does this convey the same thing? If not, what does it really mean?
I've recently discovered a guy named Gary Vaynerchuk. At his Youtube channel he named himself as garyvee. Besides his last inital is V (spoken vee), does the double ee has any meaning ?
The proof featured at http://planetmath.org/newtonsmethodworksforconvexrealfunctions shows that, roughly speaking, Newton's method is unconditionally convergent for convex/concave functions. I am looking for a textbook or paper reference of this fact. I have found part of it in Michael Spivak's Calculus:
What is it called when a letter is within another letter? For example, the letter O within the letter L: Edit: Or the first C in the Coca-Cola logo: Does this arrangement of type have a name?
I am aware that the plural of metropolis is metropolises, but to me it sounds stilted and to be honest I cannot recall ever hearing it used. Is there an irregular plural of metropolis that would be in a less formal register. Any common mistaken pluralizations?
I have bought many books about vocabulary. Most of them by Cambridge Press. However, I don't know if it is the right way to learn vocabulary from a book like those or is it better to pick new words while reading! Any studies around this?
In LyX I accidentally clicked 'Version Control' -> 'Revert to Repository Version' as it's just below 'Check In changes' option. This resulted in loss of all work since last check in, and using 'redo' is not possible. Is it possible to undo a revert like this?
I'm in the process of purchasing a house and reading through the contract, I can't find a single instance of the comma. (As if legalese wasn't hard enough to read already!) This includes the segregation of sentence clauses, separating lists, following certain leading adverbs (however, therefore, etc.), etc. Are commas considered superfluous in legal documents? Perhaps just property documents?
The usual mantra of a quantum field theory is that real particles (as opposed to virtual ones) are excitations of a field. Is this a necessary property of all (operator-valued) quantum field theories? Are there any theories currently in existence whose fields do not or cannot produce real particles?
What do we mean when we talk about a topological space or a metric space? I see some people calling metric topologies metric spaces and I wonder if there is some synonymity between a topology and a space? What is it that the word means, and if there are multiple meanings how can one distinguish them?
Should it be "find your company's zen" or "find your companys' zen"? Or perhaps another? I am convinced it should be "find your company's zen" as it suggests ownership of said zen, but I want to be sure. What should it be?
I'm creating an application that has a checkbox to assist colorblind users. I'm not so fond of the term because it isn't accurate, but at the same time I don't want to seem overtly politically correct. A couple of options I'm juggling right now: Colorblind assistance Reduced color perception assistance Color perception assistance Problems perceiving colors?
Can someone help me understand what's going on here? This is for a problem involving moment generating functions, which is related to statistics and probability, but I figured it was more of a math questions. The whole expansion is below:
My first question here..sorry if I'm not very specific but I try to be. A T-tetromino has three connected blocks in a line and another one above the middle block. How many ways can one be painted on the grid if orientation matters? What about if it doesn't?
I thought that Empty was the word, that besides its original meaning, could be used when you refer to some abstract idea, like "I feel like my soul is empty today". However, recently I've encountered the word Vacuous in the same abstract contaxt "That idea is vacuous". So what's the difference between those two?
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what is a good topic for a short talk on theoretical physics to a bunch of Math and Physics undergrads that might make them "embrace" theoretical physics? Thanks. (Brain storm: String theory, quantum tunneling, etc...?) Also it would be great if someone could suggest some resources.
While the moon is certainly not a good reflector of solar radiation, surely the radiation it reflects back heats the Earth (even if it is a terribly small amount). How would one go about calculating (or estimating) this heating contribution on a night with a Full Moon?
I need to rewrite my article to fit in the format of Hindawi Special Issue Cloud-Oriented Data Center Networking. After searching their site, I can't really find any useful information about formatting, they only mention that pdfs and docs are accepted, nothing more, any LaTeX template is given. What should I do?
How would you say "I'd like to get off the medication" not using the colloquial phrasal verb "get off"? I.e., something that you'd hear someone well-versed in the English language say. For example, can someone fill in a word or phrase to complete the following sentence: I'd like to be ___ medication by next month.
I had a question on LCDs after noticing something interesting about its color. LCDs are black when they aren't used. But when we observe LCDs closely, we see they are made up of red, green, and blue dots. Therefore, since they reflect red, green, and blue, collectively, an LCD screen should look white. So why does it look black?
How can I create a blind footnote such as the one in the picture below? By blind I mean that there is no number in the text, or in the footnote. I would like to have this footnote on the bottom of the first page of my document and all the other footnotes in the document should be unaltered.
What is an example of a prevariety in which the intersection of some two open affines is not an open affine? My examples of prevarieties that are not varieties does not extend beyond the affine line with the origin doubled. My guess is that the plane with four origins might give an example but I don't see how. Thanks.
I used to read the term "pure energy" in the context of matter-antimatter annihilation. Is the "pure energy" spoken of photons? Is it some form of heat? Some kind of particles with mass? Basically, what does "pure energy" in the context of matter-antimatter annihilation refer to?
One thing I love about English is that verbs can be easily created just by adding the suffix "-ing" and adjectives by adding "-ly". How would you call this phenomenon? Examples: Googling, Youtubing Pants-shittingly
We have a scalene trapezoid. We know AB and CD bases and the diagonal AC. Be P the point of intersection of the two diagonals. Is it possible to find the general expression for AP? I would like to know the formula for AP, if it exists, depending on AB, CD, AC
I have a circular area, and I need to distribute a certain number of points in this circle in a Poisson Distribution. Functionally, how would I be able to distribute the points in a Poisson distribution? If I were to just place the points as 'randomly' as possible, would that be good enough?
Are there any simple "experiments" that can be done in a high school science lab that could demonstrate some sort of basic principals of wormholes or spacetime? Or sort of proving how long something would take to get through a wormhole or why you wouldn't be able to travel through them etc.
I'm not sure I understand the question. As far as I understand it when it says vector space of dimension n, it signifies that there will be n amount of vectors; right? So basically it wants you to prove that a set of two vectors can't span a set of three vectors?
If we have a smooth football in the shape of an ellipsoid, and that water runs down on its sides, can we trace the path of a water drop on it? For a sphere it seems easy because the force tangential to the surface is perpendicular to the radial vector whereas in the case of an ellipsoid it isn't. Any help?
Is it possible to create a picture that would look like this? I have solved a problem that also asks to draw a similar picture. Don't want to ruin my document by inserting a picture of the drawing by hand (see below). Any insight is greatly appreciated.
I downloaded both TeXnicCenter and MiKTeX on a new PC. When compiling a file (which was made on another pc), I get the error ctable.sty not found. Then I get the suggestion to download the correct package from the internet, but it does not work. How do I choose the correct "remote package repository" in the given list? Thanks for your help
I am not a native English speaker and there are some grammar mistakes I do a lot, especially have/has in conjunction with each/every, and so on. Q: Is there some way to highlight all occurrences of some words (from a list I specify) in a document automatically?
Can we reconstruct a polynomial with only Y values? What if the number of Y values are far more than the degree of the polynomial? Also can we obtain the root of this polynomial with this Y's value without interpolating?(i.e. without knowing the coefficients of the polynomial)
The potential for the Higgs field is a quartic one (Mexican hat). Is this done for simplicity or are there fundamental reasons for this choice? I can imagine further contributions to this potential without altering the essentials, which may lead to differences in the derived particle masses.
If photons don't interact directly, how can electromagnetic waves interfere? I know that photons can scatter via higher order mechanisms, but not directly. Does those mechanisms explain the classical phenomenon of wave interference?
Where do the formulas for reciprocal lattice vectors come from? I recently began studying tensors and the same formula's appeared yet again, this time called dual basis vectors! This reignited my interest in a derivation of the reciprocal lattice. Can someone provide some insight into this?
This question presumes that vanilla texlive is superior and thus deserves to be installed despite the troubles over Ubuntu apt-get. What exactly are these benefits? I'm considering going back to texlive via apt-get due to some issues in Rstudio and knitr, but want to fully understand the trade-offs.
We have the following graph: whose every line is colored either red or green. Prove that in every possible coloration there exists one red or/and one green triangle. This problem was introduced in reference to the Dirichlet's box principle.
I came across the word "cable" very often in http://www.guardian.co.uk. Like: WikiLeaks cables: Drive to tackle Islamists made 'little progress' US embassy cables: How the Guardian protects sources WikiLeaks embassy cables: the key points at a glance I know what a cable is, but what does "cable" here mean?
Is this what 'No good deed goes unpunished' means? No matter how good you are or how many good deeds you do (or favors you do) for someone, s/he will always find fault with (bitch about) them and will not be truly appreciative. Could someone please cite an example of this idiom's usage, please? Thank you.
I'm a postgraduate student in physics, but I have achieved interesting results in Cauchy equation. I found a reason why Adams method for solving differential equations gives rise to divergent solutions. I explained this phenomena and provided a new improved integration schema. Could anybody help me to choose a good mathematical journal where I can publish my results?
Is the minimal polynomial of a linear transformation equal to that of its matrix representation on some basis? One of my textbooks on linear algebra defines eigenvalues and eigenvectors in terms of minimal polynomials, while the other textbooks define them in terms of characteristic polynomials. What is good about defining them in terms of minimal polynomials? Why are minimal polynomials important?
I want to get a list of bib-keys from my .bib file which I don't actually use in my document. I have found "Unused bibliography entries - how to check which entries were not used?" but since I'm using biblatex I don't have the information in the .aux files, so I can't use checkcites. Is there a biblatex way to get such a list?
Are the odds of predicting that someone would win the lottery the same as just some random person winning the lottery, or are they different probabilities? Because to me, if I read that someone had won the lottery, I wouldn't be that amazed, but if someone predicted that a particular person would win and that prediction came true, I'd think that's far more far-fetch.
Question:Find the number of arrangements of all the letters in TALLAHASSEE. How many of these arrangements have no adjacent A's? I want to know why it is a combination prob and not permutation.
Why is polarized light used in microscopy for the analysis of rocks(for example)? Why not use unpolarized light? What is it with polarized light that makes the analysis of rocks better? Edit: please refer to the actual physics behind your answer
I make figures in powerpoint, export them as pngs, and include them in my document. I sometimes get strange borders around them, sometimes around indivual elements of the ppt file, like this (black boxes are just censoring): It doesn't print, but looks bad on the screen. Any tips to get rid of it?
In the dictionary, the words "convert" and "transform" both have the meaning of changing the form of something. So how should I distinguish them? In what situation they are of the same meaning, and in what situation they are different?
Do I need a comma before "particularly" in the case below? Thank you very much for your help! Vitamin D has properties against metabolic, neoplastic, and immune disorders particularly breast cancer, osteoporosis, and cardiovascular disease.
Recently I came across the word substantional. What's its definition, and how can it be used in a sentence? Are there any common synonyms? Where did this word come from? I suspect it's related to substantial, but it's not entirely clear. This was used in a context looking for reference back to an authority of some kind, but I'm unsure if this is relevant.
I read this term shave cream in NY Times today. According to the results in COCA (Corpus of Contemporary American English), shaving cream (I also found this word in the dictionary) is far more common than shave cream in American English. I would like to know if there's any difference between these two terms.
I was criticized the other day for using this word. It never occurred to me that it was offensive, but Wikipedia says it "may" be derogatory. Given Vancouver's hockey team, I tend to think it's benign, but I wouldn't want to get William Shatner angry. Please help me oot.
