In Chinese, when we want to express the idea of "change A which is erroneous to B which is correct", we usually say "correct A to B"; very concise, right? But is it the proper way to express that meaning? If so, please cite a web page containing that expression; if not, present the correct way please and cite a web page too. | 1 |
Water waves are dispersive ( longer wavelengths travel faster ) but sound waves in air are not, otherwise we would listen first the high frequencies and the low frequencies after. What decides if a wave will be dispersive or not? This question has been asked again. I am looking for an answer or a comment that explains the physical reasons behind the mathematics. | 1 |

Sometimes we read books rather quickly and don't give them much (or any) thought, so the action 'reading' does not necessarily imply that we have given enough thoughts to any book we read. Is there a word that describes reading a book with great care; usually but necessarily slowly over a long period of time. | 1 |
Usually a two-body nuclear problem is exactly solvable through quantum mechanics e.g. the deuteron nucleus having two particles a neutron and proton. As one goes over to three particle systems, say a triton or a neutron described as composed of three quarks, the equations get coupled. Is there a simple way out to get to calculate the ground state of three particle systems? | 1 |
In this derivation is it necessary to write the triple integral, as I thought that if we are dealing with one fluid particle it only contains one "point" and hence we do not have to take a sum? | 1 |
I am not understanding why gradient will show the direction in which the function value rises most quickly. It is just the vector of partial derivatives of the function. And why its magnitude will determine how fast the temperature rises in that direction. | 1 |

Of course, these are not designed for scheduling multithreaded programs. | 1 |
If airport security scanners of any kind (xray, thermal, whatever else they use) looked at two items: A printed paper textbook The same printed paper textbook into which we have inserted a regular folded US letter-sized paper with something written on it with a pencil, pen, marker, etc. Could the security be able to detect the difference between the two? | 1 |
Two diagonal matrices each other's entries rearranged (same eigenvalues and multiplicities), are they similar? This seems like such a simple question, but I can't quite see a connection. I want to say that the two diagonal matrices can commute with each other, and this gives us the algebraic edge to show their similarity, but I'm generally bad with abstract algebra proofs. | 1 |
If a group is finitely generated, then it is a quotient of the free group on the set of generators. Further if a subgroup of a group has some finite presentation, does it mean that it is normal, intuitively a presentation corresponds to idenitifying certain element (or words), so it might be in some sense a quotient, and therefore normal. Is this right? | 1 |
I look for an advanced linear algebra (A complete book but wich deals indiferently with infinite/finite vector space).

In describing electron states in hydrogen, we have a very "simple" picture, at least in intro-quantum. But this only has one electron! As we permit more electrons, we also have things like the exclusion principle, which comes from the spin-statistics theorem, but that relies on the electrons having some kind of coupled wave functions, right? Why do electrons always come in pairs? | 1 |
We assume that distribution of electrons follows Fermi-Dirac distribution / statistics in semiconductor model which will help to find the concentrations of electron and holes and the relationship between them. Why is it that we use this distribution? Why in particular is this distribution used in such models? | 1 |

We know that magnetic field arises due to relative velocity of charged particle . Electrons in wire move at very slow drift velocity but relativistic variation of magnetic field doesn't seem to apply on them because if observer also travels with drift velocity , magnetic forces on wire should vanish if its in external magnetic field but it doesn't ? | 1 |
According to my teacher, an electron is point sized and it does not absorb or release energy. Moreover, my teacher says their orbital absorbs energy rather than the electron. If that is the case, then what about the photoelectric effect, in which electrons release energy after excitement? | 1 |
