Calculus — Mathematical Functions

A function is a unique relationship that can be made between numbers that enables us to relate one group of numbers to another group of numbers, or to create a group of numbers from another group using a specific relation. […]

$What is a Vector?$

What is a Vector?

What is a vector? A vector is fundamentally a simple concept used broadly in modern science, (from physics, to virology, mathematics and quantum mechanics). When we first start learning new things, the unknowns make something more complicated than it actually […]

Generalized Power Law

In electrical engineering, the Power Law (also called the Generalized Power Law or Watt’s Law) is the fundamental relationship between energy transfer, potential difference, and charge flow. The Generalized Power Law Equation The Power Law states that electrical power (P) […]

Electric Power

Electric Power is the amount of power that is used within an electric circuit, expressed as P, and generally measured in watts (W). In simple terms, it is the rate at which electrical energy is used or transffered. In essence, […]

Functions & Graphs — Introduction

Calculus is the mathematics that describes and investigates rates of change which, fundamentally, is going to rely on a deep understanding of functions. More generally, it requires an understanding of data which allows a mathematical analysis of said data. In […]

Surface Area of a Sphere

The surface area of a sphere is the quantity of units of length squared that will cover the surface of a sphere. In Dimensional Analysis, this can be written as $L^2$. Geometrically speaking, the sphere is a unique shape. Out […]

Resistivity — The Specific Resistance of a Material

The resistivity of a material is the measure of it’s specific resistance to the flow of electricity, a numerical quantity unique to each material which varies only with temperature. We symbolize resistivity with the Greek letter lowercase rho, ρ, a […]

The SI Units of Science

SI Units are the standard units we use to describe various quantities found in nature. In order to describe nature at all, especially with mathematics, we must first be able to give numerical values to the phenomena, events, and qualities […]

Genetics

Genetics is a branch of the science of biology whose main focus is the most fundamental unit of all biological life: the gene and the DNA molecule. All living things are composed of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) housed safely in the […]

Dimensional Analysis

Dimensional Analysis is a technique used in physics, chemistry, engineering, and science in general to track the dimensions of all physical quantities while performing calculations. The purpose of this practice is to ensure our final value is accurate in that […]
