" 8 mhz clock to my pic ", when simply " clock ", " clk ", or " 8mhz " would convey the same information. see this ansi / ieee standard for recommended pin name abbreviations. upper case symbol names use all caps for net names and pin names. pin names are almost always shown upper case in datasheets and schematics. var...

##hematics were routinely photocopied or otherwise optically reproduced, junction dots could disappear after a few generations, or could sometimes even appear at crosses when they weren't there originally. this is less important now that schematics are generally in a computer, but it's not a bad idea to be extra carefu...

this method has worked well for me ( but what works well for one person won't necessarily work well for everyone ). i take it in several passes : read 0 : don't read the book, read the wikipedia article or ask a friend what the subject is about. learn about the big questions asked in the subject, and the basics of the ...

if you can assign the total electron geometry ( geometry of all electron domains, not just bonding domains ) on the central atom using vsepr, then you can always automatically assign hybridization. hybridization was invented to make quantum mechanical bonding theories work better with known empirical geometries. if you...

an electron domain for determining total electron geometry. since the sample question says $ \ ce { nh3 } $ is $ \ ce { sp ^ 3 } $, then $ \ ce { nh3 } $ must be tetrahedral. make sure you can figure out how $ \ ce { nh3 } $ has tetrahedral electron geometry. for $ \ ce { h2co } $ start by drawing the lewis structure. ...

the fundamental difference between discriminative models and generative models is : discriminative models learn the ( hard or soft ) boundary between classes generative models model the distribution of individual classes to answer your direct questions : svms ( support vector machines ) and dts ( decision trees ) are d...

what we're seeing is arithmetic progressions ( not prime - producing polynomials ) of primes, combined with a classical phenomenon about rational approximations. when the integers ( or any subset of them ) are represented by the polar points $ ( n, n ) $, of course integers that are close to a multiple of $ 2 \ pi $ ap...
