    Polynomials: Schur-Cohn Criterion.

    Well here's my attempt at the first one. $We have the polynomial $ p(x)=x^2 + bx + c $, where $ c $ and $ b $ are real.$ $Let the roots be $ \alpha, \beta $ such that $ |\alpha| < 1 $ and $ |\beta|<1. $From sum and products of roots, it follow that $ \alpha + \beta = -b $ and $ \alpha...

    Are the coefficients real?

    Cool problem of the day!

    Yeah, and it was a lot of fun to do too. I am doing the first one now, so far got the z direction coordinate to be \frac{ln2}{3}

    Cool problem of the day!

    Is the answer to the first one (\frac{\pi}{4},\frac{ln2}{2})

    A few thoughts on Mathematics

    I had him for discrete this semester, I really liked him.

    eV?

    As stated above, 1eV = 1.6 x 10^-19 J eV stands for electronvolt, it's just another unit of energy, but it is related to an electron. You could use joules, it doesn't matter.

    Should be easy question

    I'd say sin[(2x+1)y]

    Help with mechanics question please

    It's not hard, it is fun though, was probably my favourite topic in MX2! When you first look at it, it looks hard, but when you do it it's not really :p

    Help with mechanics question please

    I didn't use a diagram lol, that's where the error came in :p But I'll draw something up.

    Help with mechanics question please

    When the car is going down the hill, the forces acting upon it are F=mg(\frac{1}{30}) - kv_d^2 \\ $The car is travelling at a constant velocity, and so $ F=0 \\ mg(\frac{1}{30}) = kv_d^2 \\ k = \frac{mg(\frac{1}{30})}{v_d^2} Now that we know k, we have everything we need to find the force...

    I think I got it, I'll post a solution soon.
