  • Best website to post a program and updates?

    So I am making a database program, and I plan to create a website for it. I know I would put the code on github, but what website is good for posting occasional updates? I heard wordpress and blogger are good, but I wonder about which ones are the best.

  • Should I drop my mathematics minor?

    I'm a 4th year computer science major who recently figured out that I could could graduate earlier if I did. I originally was a student doing engineering, but figured out it wasn't for me so he eventually switched to a computer science major with a mathematics minor to put my credits to good use and I'm good with math (and thought I would stay longer since I switched into Computer Science and wanted to effectively use the time). I've aced all my math courses so far. I know I would be guaranteed to graduate in the spring if I decided to drop it this semester. I am taking one math course this semester, and it is easy but wastes time since my required electives credits are filled. I only have 2 math courses left for a minor after this. So I have 18 credits in my CS major, and 6 in the minor. I've thought about dropping it prior to this semester, but was encouraged not to.

    Basically, when I was in the lower division computer science courses, the mathematics minor is what kept things interesting at the time. Now that I am in the upper division, my interest in the math minor is slowly starting to fade (in favor of computer science courses), and I could be wasting my time. Part of me just wants to be "set free," but another part of me regrets it. Once again, I do well in these courses, but I feed like it is taking time away when I could get out quicker.

  • Which areas of Computer Science use the most math?

    So I am an Electrical Engineering major who is thinking about changing his degree to Computer Science. I am interested in math (and physics), but I wonder which areas of computer science use the most math. I am passionate about math, and I would like to learn more about it. I like physics too, but I am not much of a person who likes labs as much as the theoretical side of physics.

    One of the things I've noticed about Computer Science majors is they ***** about the math too much. It just hurts me to take more classes to see these whiners (when the math isn't that complicated). Yet, it is why I want to do a minor in math. I also want some of that math to be put to good use too. I want to know which areas of Computer Science benefit from having more knowledge of math. I want to know if there are areas that use stuff like Differential Equations or Vector Calculus. Even upper division math would be fine.

    Then there is physics. I like it, but I suck at doing hands on activities. I like the theoretical side, I'm sure there are lots of uses for that in programming.

    I was thinking about doing a CS Major+Math Minor or Math Major (dunno specialization)+CS Minor. I wanted to add some physics in there, but I don't want to be focused that much on labs.

    Which would be the best major/minor combination for me. I want to use advanced math on the computer (possibly do simulations), and use it to solve real world problems.

  • Math, Physics, and/or Computer Science?

    I want to major in one of these and minor in the other. All of these subjects interest me in some way, but I don't want to overload myself. I'm a 2nd semester sophomore, and I have decided to get out of electrical engineering last semester since it was too hard due to this one class last semester (which I have dropped). Then I decided that I wanted to go into something easier like a math major with statistics emphasis. I haven't officially changed majors yet, but I am starting to think about doing applied math since I don't always have to work in finance/econ (because that stuff seems boring at this point with me being successful in my classes). I wouldn't mind doing something in finance/econ, but I just don't feel as excited about it compared to STEM related subjects.

    When I transferred to the university, I found it tough, but managed to get straight A's in all my classes last semester (besides the class I dropped). These classes included Multivariable Calculus, Mechanics, and Intro to C++. I was still kinda dreading physics and computer science due to my high school experiences, but my view changed as I aced these subjects. Physics, I enjoyed more last semester due the professor. C++ I thought I was getting a C, but wound up with an A in the class. I had a really hard professor last semester (made me hate CS), but this professor I have is much better for Computer Science (made me like CS).

    I do see some overlap in these subjects, and see which is the best combination.

  • C++, sorting words alphabettically where casing doesn't matter.?

    Here is a function that sorts names via bubblesort. My problem is that cases matter. Like uppercase Z will come before a. I'm trying to make it where casing does not matter, but I'm not sure what to do. I know about ASCII, but I don't know how to incorporate it in this code.

    #include <iostream>

    using namespace std;

    #include <string.h>

    #include "Names.h"

    void BubbleSort (int NumNames, char * Names [])

    {

    int i;

    bool Sorted;

    char * Temp;

    int NewNumNames;

    NewNumNames = NumNames - 1;

    do {

    Sorted = true;

    for (i = 0; i < NewNumNames; i++)

    if ((strcmp(Names[i], Names[i + 1])) == 1)

    {

    Temp = Names [i];

    Names [i] = Names [i + 1];

    Names [i + 1] = Temp;

    Sorted = false;

    }

    else;

    NewNumNames--;

    } while (!Sorted);

    }

    After the names are sorted, we have to do a binary search to see whether a name exists in the array of typed names or not. Because casing won't matter, I'm wondering if the binary search function has to change as well. This is the function.

    #include <string.h>

    #include "BinarySearch.h"

    long BinarySearch (int NumNamesEntered, char *pLine, char *Names [])

    {

    long First;

    long Middle;

    long Last;

    First = 0;

    Last = NumNamesEntered - 1;

    do {

    Middle = (First + Last) / 2;

    if (((strcmp(pLine, Names[Middle])) == 0))

    return Middle;

    else

    if (((strcmp(pLine, Names[Middle])) == -1))

    Last = Middle - 1;

    else

    First = Middle + 1;

    } while (First <= Last);

    return -1;

    }

    If the main part of the code is necessary to insert to see the problem, I'll put it on here, but it seems like something is wrong with the functions instead of the main code. I just want to know what I can add to make casing not matter. I'm using strcmp to sort the strings, so I'm not sure how sort them where casing doesn't matter.

  • Find coefficient of kinetic friction?

    For a lab, I had a block with a mass of .15 kg laying on a horizontal surface, and it being pulled by a hanger with a mass of .025 kg. The weights would be those numbers multiplied by 9.8 so they are 1.47 N and .245 N respectively. How would you find the kinetic friction with this data?

    Is it

    .245 N = μk * 1.47 N

    then we divide both sides by 1.47 to get .167?

    Or is there another way. I know it is to find static friction, but is kinetic friction the same way?

  • Native' has exited with code 0 (0x0)?

    So I'm starting to use Visual Studio to learn C/C++, and I wrote a simple hello world program. My problem is that whenever I try to run the program, the window comes up, and it just flashes the output for a split second, and then closes. How do I make the window stay on the screen without it closing down suddenly? This doesn't mean to modify the code by any way (ex. adding a cin.get(); line) to make it do that because I tried to make a program where you input a number, and that doesn't do anything at all. It just flashed the output for a split second once again. I even did Ctrl+F5 along with run without debugging, and it still does the same thing.

  • Taking General Chem over the summer at a CC?

    So I'm thinking about doing this since I'm thinking about doing Electrical Engineering. I'm registering for summer classes, and I have 1 Gen Ed class so far. I don't have any science classes taken, but will have Calc I and II taken, and I got an A in Calc I while maybe an A/B in Calc II (If you want to talk about my math skills). I was wondering if it is a good idea to add Chem to the schedule along with the other Gen Ed class (Government). I don't have to take any more Chemistry classes after this, so I'm not really trying to get "ahead" while screwing myself over for later classes because the other classes I will have to take don't have Chem as a Prereq. If I were to take physics over the summer, it would be a whole different story as I plan on taking it in the fall. I was just wondering if this is a good idea, and I will only need a C or better in this class in order for it to transfer.

  • My 9-10 yr old dog is getting into things?

    I have a 9-10 yr old dog who is starting to eat things lately, even though they aren't on the floor, but on the table when nobody is looking. He never did this in the past, but now he is doing it now. He even gets into smaller pieces of chocolate, and he is feeling alright somehow (physically, not mentally). I'm guessing this stuff is in bags, but they are not on the floor, but on top of the table, where he shouldn't be able to get them. I don't know how he is able to get into them. He doesn't really do any other wrong things like use the floor as a bathroom. I don't know what is wrong with my dog, so I was wondering about what I should do.

  • Calculus Derivative Application help?

    A round underwater transmission cable consists of a core of copper wires surrounded by nonconducting insulation. If x denotes the ratio of the radius of the core to the thickness of the insulation, it is known that the speed of the transmission signal is given by the equation v = x^2 ln(1/x). If the radius of the core is 1 cm, what insulation thickness h will allow the greatest transmission speed?

    I know I saw this question before, but I would like to know how to do it because I can't find a solution.

  • velocity and acceleration (speed up and slow down)?

    I want to make sure this is correct.

    velocity + acceleration - (slow down)

    velocity - acceleration - (speed up)

    velocity - acceleration + (slow down)

    velocity + acceleration + (speed up)

    Basically, if velocity and acceleration are the same, the object will speed up. If they are opposite, the object will slow down.

  • What is the big deal with college anyways?

    Before you say I'm jealous, I'm going to say that I'm a senior, and I've been accepted to a college, but I just don't see why it is that amazing.

    Why do people make too much of a big deal about going to a specific college? So what if they don't get in, and have to start off at another college or a community college? At least they could be saving money, and can get the basics out of the way. I mean, you can basically get the same degree no matter where you start off at. It could take a little longer, but do people really lack patience? That is how society looks like nowadays. Kids are too spoiled, and are focused on getting into a specific college that is harder than winning the lottery to get into. This happens where I live, where the competition is too big, and it makes me feel inferior a lot, when I really shouldn't be.

    In the end, all you are getting is a job, and nobody will care which college you go to in like 10 years from now. Even the money won't always make you happy either.

  • I would like to self study BC Calculus, where should I start?

    I am in an Honors Pre-Cal Course. It is kinda challenging, but I still do pretty well in the course. Next year as a Senior, I want to take BC Calculus. We have covered some Calculus topics briefly, but the only thing I recall having to know so far was limits. Those were a little tricky for me though. Trig isn't that bad, but it is the Trig-Identities that I hate having to do. I wasn't really good at verifying. We went a little more in depth with them after the Trig Identities test I did good on (hardest test all year), but I didn't really understand the concepts (didn't have to know it for any test).

    I understand that I can't start forgetting things in this course, like I have in the past. I just want to start now so I could get a head start on this self study, and not get lost in the course. Question is, which order should I start reviewing in, and which units?
