This was said by one of my mates while retelling a story. The story runs that there was a court being held, and there was a recording-clerk as well. But this was a humor story, and the story continued that everybody was telling the recording-clerk to take out what was previously said, to the point that the clerk lost h... | 1 |
Let's say the objects are marble size or even single atoms or quarks. They are placed in an otherwise empty universe(expanding or non-expanding) at opposite ends of the universe with an arbitrarily large distance between them. With a combination of great enough distance and small enough mass will the gravitational pull... | 1 |
I've come across many pages, articles and texts which say something like When X does Y, God kills a kitten When X happens, God kills an elephant Like here - God kills a pigeon here - God kills a kitten What does it exactly mean? Does it mean that something great was achieved, so a sacrifice was made? or Does it mean th... | 1 |
Two non antipodal points on a sphere have a geodetic which is a segment of a great circle on that sphere. I'm trying to calculate the Euler angles that would rotate the "equator" great circle of the sphere (in my case, the normal to this plane is the y axis) into the great circle that intersects two points specified by... | 1 |
I came up with this question when I received an email from a committee with a sentence 'We have decided not to publish it', which seems really strange to me because the grammar I learned in English classes is 'decide not to do something' and 'decide to not do' was told incorrect. I searched for answers to this problem ... | 1 |
I was wondering if anyone knew how to make music notation that looks like the below: I'm not even sure where to start with this kind of thing, I've tried doing it by hand before in Inkscape, but I did not find that easy, algorithmic, or professional looking. I was hoping some kind of package might be available in TeX. ... | 1 |
For a particle attached to a rope moving along a circle that has the length of rope as radius, the tension provides centripetal force and work done by tension is zero since velocity of particle is perpendicular to tension at any instant. But I am thinking about this case: Here, a particle is tied to a vertical cylinder... | 1 |
I am wondering if there is a word to describe a person who likes chaos. By this I mean a few specific things: The person is pleased to hear when chaos is created, or confusion emerges The person will take opportunities to create chaos or confusion The person enjoys taking part in chaotic or disorganized situations. I c... | 1 |

What does the noun "lucker" mean? It's not in the Webster, but Google does give search results for such key phrases as "I am a lucker" or "He is a lucker" (and those are not misspellings like "luckier" or "lurker"). So people DO use that word. I myself heard it a number of times. And if they use it, it should have some... | 1 |
I am being told that "sports" is a singular noun. This is creating a problem for me (as a teacher) because it sounds 'odd' even if it is correct (i.e. one of the exceptions to the rule). e.g. Sports has (rather than sports have)... I always thought sports referred to more than one team activity (e.g. football, rugby, g... | 1 |
A busy intersection sees two traffic accident per month on average. Suppose the number of accidents follow a Poisson distribution. Starting from January next year, which month do you expect to be the first one in which there is no accident? I figured it would be the same for every month (as in every month is equally li... | 1 |
I'm looking for the appropriate term to use for what gets "used up" as potential energy is converted to heat and work. For example, some of the the energy in solar radiation is converted by photosynthesis to chemical energy; much of the rest is lost as waste heat. The bio-chemical energy is used to power various biolog... | 1 |
What would happen if an object (like a space ship) was to stop its orbit around the sun. would time slow down with that object (the same way time sped up for the characters in that great film Interstellar). Or even more so, if that object was to stop its orbit around the galaxy so to speak. And so on and so on. At what... | 1 |
If the mass of A is greater of the two, and if air resistance is the same on both, which ball will reach the ground first/simultaneously? I thought that since the acceleration acting on them is same, both will reach the ground simultaneously. But the answer in the book says that ball A (the one having greater mass) wil... | 1 |
Which would be correct? What is your favorite song, and explain why? (I'm thinking this is right.) What is your favorite song, and explain why. This could be written as, "What is your favorite song?

I want to make someone a present by subscribing for him to a mathematical journal. (It should appear every month or every two months). The contents should be comprehensible to an undergraduate in mathematics, and be about a broad selection of topics (for example not only analysis). I expect the content to be something ... | 1 |
I have seen that sometimes, in particular in number theory and combinatorial commutative algebra, our questions are somehow related to finding the number of points with integer components in a region/shape. Since this seems to be related to some open problems and conjectures, does there exist a branch of mathematics th... | 1 |
I think it may not be possible. Given all the pair correlation functions (e.g. calculated from Ornstein Zernike theory), it seems possible to obtain the internal energy (assuming different species interact through pair-potentials (i.e. potentials that do not involve more than two bodies)). To obtain the free energy, th... | 1 |
Assume an airtight bag occupied by air such that the pressure inside the bag is equal to the atmospheric pressure. Assume the surface tension of the bag is negligible. What is the change in air pressure inside the bag relative to a weight placed on it? Is it possible to approximate the weight of the object on top of th... | 1 |
Ionization energies/Electron affinities are well mapped. I wonder about opposite processes... I imagine for anion the necessary energy will be equal to the electron affinity (energy released when the anion was created). What about cations? If I had an cation and free electron (both with low kinetic energies) will it au... | 1 |
The American convention in quotations is (typically) to place punctuation inside quoted text. But I always run into situations where the punctuation of the quote interferes with the punctuation of the sentence. How would you punctuate this (American, non technical)?

I've heard this phrase used many times. e.g. -Got a completion date back on your new conservatory? -Ha! Chance'd be a fine thing. I think I have a general idea of what it must mean from its context. But I just don't see how it makes sense. What does it actually literally mean, and why? It doesn't seem to make sense to ... | 1 |
So, in the field of metallurgy, there are a few varieties of phase diagram that are used to predict the post-processing characteristics of alloys. These include Time-Temperature Transformation diagrams and Continuous Cooling diagrams. Currently, I've found myself working with metal oxides, and I'm trying to find what t... | 1 |
Dual spaces are home to bras in quantum mechanics; cotangent spaces are home to linear maps in the tensor formalism of general relativity. After taking courses in these two subjects, I've still never really understood the physical significance of these "dual spaces," or why they should need to exist. What is a dual / c... | 1 |
I'm working on a collaborative project and I like to organize all the supporting files for my tex documents (rather than just having everything in one flat folder).

Suppose I take a vacuum tube and accelerate electrons in it by electric fields then collide it on a copper plate. Will the electrons then go inside it and generate an electric current by putting a positively charged panel on the opposite end to create a potential difference? If yes how can I extract the electrons from ... | 1 |
I have three questions: (i)Does rank of a square matrix same as the degree of its characterstic equation.

I have a few issues to discuss linked to the Future Subjunctive. Can "If I were you." mean the same as "If I were to be you." In other words, can "If I were you." have the reference to the future which "If I were to be you." has? If I were you at tomorrow's competition I would win. ? = ? If I were to be you at tomorrow... | 1 |
Equation of continuity says us that if we insert some fluid in a tube, the same amount of fluid will come out from the other end. If we make a small hole in a hose pipe, water will come out with a great speed. The bigger the hole, the slower the speed. This is a direct consequence of the equation of continuity. But at ... | 1 |
I'm TeXing a course for a teacher of mine, and he wants me to have the section titles in the headers (I use fancyhdr to achieve this). He also wants me to retain the section titles he gave me in the original (word) file. Since some of these section titles are too long to fit in the header title, is there a way to defin... | 1 |
So I've been reading a section about energy levels and came across this statement: "As the atoms of a material are brought closer together to form the crystal lattice structure, there is an interaction between atoms that will result in the electrons in a particular orbit of one atom having slightly different energy lev... | 1 |
Is there really a difference between using "allows for" and just simply "allows" as in this scenario? To me, both of these sentences mean exactly the same thing. Does having the 'for' make the sentence mean something even slightly different at all? I have searched all over but have not encountered anything that is simi... | 1 |
Taking into account gravity, air resistance, and wind velocity and direction. (And also temperature if it's actually relevant.)

Now, I do not know its drag coefficient, so how do I c... | 1 |
The gist of my problem is that Slovene isn't supported in babelbib. I've got a half-done .bst file which translates some of the needed words, but not all of them. I also noted there exists a slovene.mbs file in miktex. However, when I tried creating a new bibliography style with makebst, I still didn't get the words tr... | 1 |
I say that "whoever" is the correct grammatical choice in the following sentence: Give the raise to the hardest-working employee, whoever/whomever that may be. I say "whoever" is correct. The reason is that, when we isolate the "whoever/whomever" clause ("whomever that may be"), the phrase converts to "It may be he". "... | 1 |
Yesterday, I told an Indian my English name is 'Melao', he smiled and asked me if there's any special meaning. In fact, I get this name from a song with Latin style -- 'Corazon De Melao', I think it's legibly. So, I wonder if there's any special meaning in English-speaking countries when it is used as a name? Or what's... | 1 |

What's the difference between pronunciation and enunciation? I learned this a long time ago in English class but forgot what it was. Clarification For example, Wikipedia says: Good enunciation is the act of speaking clearly and concisely. The opposite of good enunciation is mumbling or slurring. See also pronunciation ... | 1 |
It''s quite common for academic papers and such to have a short title intended to catch the casual browsers's interest, followed by colon and a longer more explanatory alternative. I know this is a lousy example (I couldn't easily find a better/shorter one), but even so I'm sure this Catchy Title : Longer version conve... | 1 |
I have seen several proofs that there exist nonstandard models of arithmetic, but they all seem to rely on the compactness theorem, which is not implied by ZF. So are there any proofs in ZF that there's exists a nonstandard model of PA? Tennenbaum's theorem, which states that every nonstandard model is uncomputable see... | 1 |
I'm attempting to document a change that will make two things more congruent. I'd like to use a word in this way: This change [makes similar] the two items.

English is used all over Europe in (more or less) academic papers and books that are not necessarily related to reviews and publishing houses based in UK or US, and that are not necessarily intended for UK or US markets. English is largely used between non-English speaking areas as lingua franca. What is the main trend... | 1 |
I read a quote somewhere and it seemed flawed in its language and word usage. Take a look at it: "Trust a person to that extent, that he feels guilty to cheat you & care for a person to that extent, that he fears to lose you." The letters in bold are the clauses that I found flawed in particular. Shouldn't it be: "Trus... | 1 |

I am a freshman in high school who needs a math related project, so I decided on the topic of fractals. Being an avid developer, I thought it would be awesome to write a Ruby program that can calculate a fractal. The only problem is that I am not some programming god, and I have not worked on any huge projects (yet). S... | 1 |
Is there a theory of constrained optimization with complex variables, do you know any textbook on that topic? The typical textbooks on constrained optimization deal with real variables.

People in London, who live in the suburbs, may tell you they work 'up town', meaning in the City or the West End. In other large cities in Britain, Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds etc., I think people who earn their living in the City Centre (equivalent to Downtown with capital D) will say casually that they work 'in tow... | 1 |
To complete college (or what the equivalent in Denmark would be) I will have to write a text about a topic that I choose.

Someone else asked Are camp followers prostitutes? and the answer seems to be that while not every one who follows a military camp is a prostitute, if you aren't referring to a prostitute, you should probably pick another label for the person. A similar effect can be seen with sexually themed words like "mistress", "ma... | 1 |
I'm looking for reading assignment ideas for my students. I'd like them to read up on results in mathematics in layman's terms.

I understand that structures with the properties of the real and complex numbers can be defined and derived from the axioms of ZFC set theory. But can a structure with the properties of a (possibly uncountably infinite dimensional) vector space be derived from ZFC or is it axiomatic statement that a vector space is a s... | 1 |
Most physics textbooks and even questions in stack exchange answer the question why there exists a charge buildup in the bends of a current carrying conductor.

A condensate of open strings with both ends attached to the same D-brane can be equivalent to a displacement of the D-brane with no open string condensate. A solution to the D-brane Born-Infeld action gives rise to a semi-infinite string extension which is entirely equivalent to an open string with one end attached to ... | 1 |
When I first learned algebraic geometry, I naturally wiki-ed the subject and there was a line there that said the old school Italians used the notion "generic points without any precise definition." Now that I know what a generic point is, I am curious as to how did the Italians think about a generic point and/or what ... | 1 |
As I was familiarizing myself with different methods of computing complexities of recurrences, I stumbled upon the Akra-Bazzi method. Seeing such a beautiful result literally made my day. I was able to come up with a proof that makes use of an inductive argument, but induction alone isn't all that satisfactory. Does an... | 1 |
Let's say you have a spherical charge distribution of radius R. This distribution has some charge density as a function of radius. I know that I can determine the electric field outside of the charge density by forming a spherical gaussian surface around the charge distribution and apply gauss' law. But what if I want ... | 1 |

Other options I can think of are apprentice (usually used to refer exclusively to someone who is s... | 1 |
(Quantum) integrable systems, that belong to solutions to the Yang-Baxter-equation, are often solved by the (algebraic) Bethe Ansatz. Solutions to the Bethe-equations lead to the eigenvalues of the transfermatrix and in that way also to the spectrum of the hamiltonian. However, suppose you already knew an eigenvalue of... | 1 |
