Math/Physics/CS Homework Help Thread I'm really bored. Give me math/physics/CS problems. (Math: Anything through Multivariable. Physics: Preferably only before calculus-based E&M). Or... post whatever you want to talk about/ I have determined that I am too mathematically weak. Will be making a similar thread in 6 months after improving. Locking thread.
Transferring into College as a Sophomore So, currently I'm a junior in high school, with a college goal of MIT. I kind of screwed up or slacked off in high school... (92 GPA), so I pretty much early killed my chances of EAing MIT, let alone regular acceptance. My current plan is to ED Washington University or WashU, and then transfer into MIT as a sophomore, because my school has pretty good odds of ED'ing into WashU. Of 12 people who ED'ed, 8 were accepted, 2 deferred, and 2 rejected (all with 90.6- GPA). Would this be a good idea? Current extracurriculars are: FIRST Robotics Zero Robotics (All programming/run by MIT) Math Team (Most likely qualifying for ARML, or American Regional Math League, this year) Programming, Self-studying 3 APs w
Help with math problem! "Points P and Q are on hypotenuse AB of right triangle ABC such that PB = CB and QA = CA. If the diameter of the incircle of triangle of ABC is 10, compute the diameter of the circumcircle of triangle CPQ"
AIME Qualifiers scores! Anyone here? If so, what was your score+form? xD.
I still feel too lazy to work. (because of the summer) Anyone else have this problem? How do I fix this quickly?
Looking for people who watch Chinese dramas. Okay, so, I need someone to help me with the name of one drama (I watched it a few years ago, and don't remember the name). So, the story started off with a mute beggar whose wife goes to America in order to make money to support their daughter. In the first few years, their daughter was at a learning deficiency, so he was JUST about to give her up, when she decided to speak for the first time. The setting then shifted about 15+ years into the future, when she's now grown, and is almost 18. Her mother finally returns from America, and has someone else whom she now loves. So, the mute beggar is now forced to sign over legal obligation of the daughter to both of them. (Insert some more storyline he
How to cope with the death of a friend? Idk... my friend died recently, and I'm not sure why I don't feel completely sad yet.. I mean, I was tearing a bit at the idea of her being gone forever, but, at the same time, I don't feel as if she's gone yet... It's really strange.
College Acceptances 20122013 So where have you gotten into so far? :) Me: Still waiting. (on MIT/Carnegie Mellon)
Share photos of hurricane sandy? I will update my own photos as I find them!
Did You get one of the google incognito sunglasses? Curious.. They ran out after 6 minutes of going up.
Help with math homework/Linear Algebra How do I do questions 10,11, and 12? For 10, M(T) is just the coefficients of the linear transformation T. Since the rows of M(T) are linearly independent, should that mean the basis is just the column vectors of the identity matrix? I'm not so clear on what diagonal means, just that D = CAC^-1, where D is a diagonal square matrix. My current thoughts on this are: Take M(T), find the eigenvectors given the corresponding eigenvalues of M(T), take those vectors as the column vectors of C, and simply multiply CAC^-1 to find D, but then what the hell is bM(T)b? 11. Nope 12. Lolnope again.
Anyone from FIRST robotics or MIT Zero Robotics If so, what team are you from? :D. Currently working mainly on ZR, the challenge this year is ridiculous compared to last year's.
North East Snowstorm For those of you who live in the north eastern area, and still go to school, how many of you have been procrastinating, putting your hopes on the possibility of a snowstorm to not go to school?
Final Computer Science Project Please give any feedback! Follow the instructions on the website: You can click and run the applet on the page too, btw. Edit: Site taken down for modifications.
It's finals week! Finals week for anyone else too? What tests are you taking? xD. I have drafting tomorrow. 3:15 AM now.
