Actual textbook physics problem

I swear, japhroaig, you must somehow share at least 90% of the DNA of a former (and still painfully funny) roommate of mine. Uncanny.

I think you’re ready for this:


Yep. Definitely ready.

I have to up my game, apparently I need to mussel my way out of this thread.

First we stipulate that you can hear the whine of the engine over the whine of the pol sci majors.

Fish puns. Just for the halibut.

It took Professor Seldon quite some time and not too little prodding by a certain positronic friend of ours to make it a science.

Is your requirement calc-based? I’m always slightly puzzled by the quantity of comp-sci majors in my calc-based physics course. Apparently it’s required at my university. Not my major, but I figure it’s overkill since comp-sci people have to take up to calc IV anyway. Also be glad you’re not using the SmartPhysics textbooks and online problems. It’s a very back-to-basics non-traditional approach which can be extremely annoying when the textbooks has errors in the formulae.

No, our CS Major only requires a single level of Calculus, plus a Physics or Chemistry class. That said, we have a rather high number of people dual-majoring in Math and CS. I’ll freely admit that I was a bit intimidated going into the class, but I find I’m rather enjoying it. I actually find the math a bit easier than the calc requirement. Hmm, I probably just doomed myself, didn’t I?
