  • Is there really such a thing as "being good at math"?

    - by thezhaba
    Aside from gifted individuals able to perform complex calculations in their head, I'm wondering if proficiency in mathematics, namely calculus and algebra, has really got to do with one's natural inclination towards sciences, if you can put it that way. A number of students in my calculus course pick up material in seemingly no time whereas I, personally, have to spend time thinking about and understanding most concepts. Even then, if a question that requires a bit more 'imagination' comes up I don't always recognize the concepts behind it, as is the case with calculus proofs, for instance. Nevertheless, I refuse to believe that I'm simply not made for it. I do very well in programming and software engineering courses where a lot of students struggle. At first I could not grasp what they found to be so difficult, but eventually I realized that having previous programming experience is a great asset -- once I've seen and made practical use of the programming concepts learning about them in depth in an academic setting became much easier as I have then already seen their use "in the wild". I suppose I'm hoping that something similar happens with mathematics -- perhaps once the practical idea behind a concept (which authors of textbooks sure do a great job of concealing..) is evident, understanding the seemingly dry and symbolic ideas and proofs would be more obvious? I'm really not sure. All I'm sure of is I'd like to get better at calculus, but I don't yet understand why some of us pick it up easily while others have to spend considerable amounts of time on it and still not have complete understanding if an unusual problem is given.

  • How to make VLC play .vlm config file in "With no interface mode"?

    - by Ole Jak
    How to make VLC play .vlm config file in "With no interface mode" on windows? So I have .vlm config file that should stream audio from mic to localhost so no vlc ui needed. If I say to windows "play .vlm file with vlc" it plays correctly starts server where I need and streams data. but how to do such thing manulay from cmd (so we suppouse we can call vlc.exe by vlc and we are now in folder with vlc.exe and vlcConfig.vlm file)

  • WPF PathGeometry/RotateTransform optimization

    - by devinb
    I am having performance issues when rendering/rotating WPF triangles If I had a WPF triangle being displayed and it will be rotated to some degree around a centrepoint, I can do it one of two ways: Programatically determine the points and their offset in the backend, use XAML to simply place them on the canvas where they belong, it would look like this: <Path Stroke="Black"> <Path.Data> <PathGeometry> <PathFigure StartPoint ="{Binding CalculatedPointA, Mode=OneWay}"> <LineSegment Point="{Binding CalculatedPointB, Mode=OneWay}" /> <LineSegment Point="{Binding CalculatedPointC, Mode=OneWay}" /> <LineSegment Point="{Binding CalculatedPointA, Mode=OneWay}" /> </PathFigure> </PathGeometry> </Path.Data> </Path> Generate the 'same' triangle every time, and then use a RenderTransform (Rotate) to put it where it belongs. In this case, the rotation calculations are being obfuscated, because I don't have any access to how they are being done. <Path Stroke="Black"> <Path.Data> <PathGeometry> <PathFigure StartPoint ="{Binding TriPointA, Mode=OneWay}"> <LineSegment Point="{Binding TriPointB, Mode=OneWay}" /> <LineSegment Point="{Binding TriPointC, Mode=OneWay}" /> <LineSegment Point="{Binding TriPointA, Mode=OneWay}" /> </PathFigure> </PathGeometry> </Path.Data> <Path.RenderTransform> <RotateTransform CenterX="{Binding Centre.X, Mode=OneWay}" CenterY="{Binding Centre.Y, Mode=OneWay}" Angle="{Binding Orientation, Mode=OneWay}" /> </Path.RenderTransform> </Path> My question is which one is faster? I know I should test it myself but how do I measure the render time of objects with such granularity. I would need to be able to time how long the actual rendering time is for the form, but since I'm not the one that's kicking off the redraw, I don't know how to capture the start time.

  • iPhone keeps going into dim/sleep mode even with the proper API calls.

    - by Kyle
    I call: [[ UIApplication sharedApplication ] setIdleTimerDisabled: YES ] on the applicationDidFinishLaunching event.. I set a breakpoint on it, which fires so I know it's getting called.. I've also called this function in other places as well.. Basically, a 3G iPhone will still go into sleep mode, but my 3GS won't. Has anyone seen this behavior before? Both are running the latest OS versions. Thanks for reading!

  • What is the most secure encryption mode for Android?

    - by jax
    Currently I am using: Algorithm_mode_padding="RSA/ECB/PKCS1Padding" Provider="BC" I have heard that ECB can cause patterns in the output. What is the most secure Algorithm, mode and padding for Android at the moment? I will be using this for license files. Also, what is the best keysize to use when creating a new public and private key?

  • Which is the fastest idiomatic way to add all vectors (in the math sense) inside a Scala list?

    - by davips
    I have two solutions, but one doesn't compile and the other, I think, could be better: object Foo extends App { val vectors = List(List(1,2,3), List(2,2,3), List(1,2,2)) //just a stupid example //transposing println("vectors = " + vectors.transpose.map (_.sum)) //it prints vectors = List(4, 6, 8) //folding vectors.reduce { case (a, b) => (a zip b) map { case (x, y) => x + y } } //compiler says: missing parameter type for exp. function; arg. types must be fully known }

  • Need help: input int from console and pass it into method in different class and do math

    - by christophe
    i'm a beginner, Need help, Please!!! I want to read optional number "a" from console and then store it in variable to use as passing to a different class (different .java file). and pint the sum separetely by optional inputting. How do i code the 2 classes? thanks /* * DemoApp.java */ public class DemoApp { public static void main(String[] args) { Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in); int a; System.out.println("Input one of the following 3 numbers: 100, 200, 300"); System.out.print("Enter: "); a = input.nextInt(); TestApplication testapp = new TestApplication(); testapp.test(a); } } /* * TestApplication.java * */ public class TestApplication { private int a; public void test(int a) { this.a = a; // TODO: where to get the "a"? (entered by users from console) System.out.println("The number_a was passed in: "+a); } protected void printNum() throws Exception { int num; switch (a) { case 100: num = num + 10; break; case 200: num = num + 20; break; case 300: num = num + 30; break; default: // TODO: unexpected number input. throw(); break; } System.out.println("I got a sum number"+num); } }

  • Command prompt in debug mode for Eclipse? (OpenCV + Eclipse + Win7)

    - by Tony
    I am a beginner for Eclipse. I now have Eclipse C/C++ IDE with OpenCV library running on Windows 7. So far it works after spending hours trying to get it running. But then I realize that Eclipse does not pop up a command prompt as VS2010 does while debugging. And moreover Eclipse's debug mode is just stuck in there and refuse to output anything. But if the code doesn't involve the OpenCV things it works again. Below is the code I use for testing. It captures images from webcam and output it to the screen. The infinite loop (until you press 'q') makes sure it constantly grabs new inputs from the camera. I browsed through the workspace and run the exe just compiled and it worked flawlessly. So I don't think there's anything wrong in the code (it's an example code anyway In brief, can I just pop up a command prompt window in debug mode? And why is Eclipse console stuck when the code involves some OpenCV functions? #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <tchar.h> #include <cv.h> #include <cxcore.h> #include <highgui.h> #include <iostream> int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[]) { CvCapture *capture = 0; IplImage *frame = 0; int key = 0; /* initialize camera */ capture = cvCaptureFromCAM( 0 ); /* always check */ if ( !capture ) { printf("Cannot open initialize webcam!\n"); return 1; } /* create a window for the video */ cvNamedWindow( "result", CV_WINDOW_AUTOSIZE ); while( key != 'q' ) { /* get a frame */ frame = cvQueryFrame( capture ); /* always check */ if( !frame ) break; /* display current frame */ cvShowImage( "result", frame ); /* exit if user press 'q' */ key = cvWaitKey( 1 ); } /* free memory */ cvDestroyWindow( "result" ); cvReleaseCapture( &capture ); return 0; }
