what sort of theorist are you?

D

we set D equal to the measured value from A.N. Experimenter et al (2009)

we set D = 8π3/2/3 (Stokes 1854)

we set D = 8π3/2(1 + ε)/3, where ε = 4.2*10-7 is the Me-Stokes parameter (Me 1973), correcting for second order effects.

do you mean a total derivative or a partial derivative?

well, the "D"s cancel, so we can approximate it as just δy/δx ~ y/x...

if you choose D=2 we can get an exact solution

consider the qualitative behaviour of the solution as we vary the number of dimensions

you mean ℘?
(curse html 4.0 and its lack of proper symbols...)

This is the graph of the line y = x: If you put your finger down on any point on that line, and then put another finger on another point on that line, you find that the total change in the y-coordinate divided by the total change in the x-coordinate between those two positions is 1. Move two…
Suppose you've got a bunch of data. You believe that there's a linear relationship between two of the values in that data, and you want to find out whether that relationship really exists, and if so, what the properties of that relationship are. Once again, I'll use an example based on the first…
It's been said that psychology is a primitive discipline - stuck in the equivalent of pre-Newtonian physics. Supposedly we haven't discovered the basic principles underlying cognition, and are instead engaged in a kind of stamp collecting: arguing about probabilities that various pseudo-…
One thing I left out of the making-of story about the squeezed state BEC paper last week happened a while after publication-- a few months to a year later. I don't quite recall when it was-- I vaguely think I was still at Yale, but I could be misremembering. It's kind of amusing, in an exceedingly…

I used to have a collection of handy .gif images of symbols. Typesetting was still a bother.
