• Engineering Laptop

  It's worthwhile to look at the nuclear tracks and then look in the course catalog to see what those course mean (such as NE200, NE342, NE351, etc). When you get to the catalog, punch in the course code ("NE 342" for instance) in the search on the top left, and it will bring up the matching courses. In this case, it's Nuclear Thermal Hydraulics. That gives a description of what the course is. Another trick... Source: 10 months ago

  An anecdote I've posted here before: A student took a a paper from coursehero, and the instructor explained the problem and let him resubmit it. He resubmitted the same paper with one footnote ... To coursehero.com. Source: over 2 years ago

• Reliable homework help services

  I’m in my second semester of college with three weeks left and I got to admit it has been quite a ride. It still is actually. Earlier on in the semester, I had to appeal my financial aid that had been marked for termination because I was failing three of my classes. The classes did curved my grade significantly. Around the same time I got to engage the guys at hartle and also got a tutor on coursehero. I must... Source: over 2 years ago

• [Advanced mathematics higher degree inequalities and equations]

  Now, if you're doing it for real, the best and also most common method is simply, "use a computer". Many computer systems are really, really good at solving these equations and inequalities. You can also graph it and see on the graph every time it crosses zero. You can even do it for free without fancy software. There are a lot of web calculators that can do it, but one options is using wolframalpha.com. Source: 5 months ago

• How can Computers be used for mathematical applications when floats make them so inaccurate?

  This is how the functionality of scientific calculators and tools like MATLAB and WolframAlpha is implemented. Source: 5 months ago

• What are your favorite high-school level problems (olympiads etc)

  Go to wolframalpha.com, and ask it to evaluate. Source: 10 months ago

  Do not go for a "one-use" calculator... Go for something that does it all if you know what you're doing. Go to wolframalpha.com. Source: 11 months ago

• Overview of the most useful probability distributions (using Logseq's Whiteboards)

  Some context: - Each "Card" you see is a reference to a block inside a big page called "Remarkable distributions". That page also contains more details (proofs, notable properties, ...) about each distribution. - The plots are generated using wolframalpha.com. I can just type "normal distribution" and I get a nice plot with different variations of the distribution's parameters. Source: 11 months ago
