    Recalling Childhood: Handling Nostalgia and the Blues

    I always think back how great life was in during Elementary/High School. No responsibility and endless Summers. Needs were simple, the world was simple. It gives me the blues. How do you handle it?

    Conceptual Topology & Manifolds books

    I am looking for books that introduce the fundamentals of topology or manifolds. Not looking for proofs and rigor. Something that steps through fundamental theorems in the field, but gives conceptual explanations.

    A bullet shot underwater given a velocity function

    Right idea, let's step through it. x(t) = \int v_o e^{-bt} dt = C - \frac{v_o}{b} e^{-bt} Got that right? Now you need to use your initial conditions to solve for C right? Use x(0) = x_o What is C? Now what is x(t) ?

    A bullet shot underwater given a velocity function

    Do you know how to go from a velocity equation to a position equation? That is: v \rightarrow x ? Hint: Use the fact that: v = \frac{dx}{dt} How do you get x?

    At a crossroads between choosing jobs

    So I was originally interviewed by a massive Telecommunications company. I made it to the final round that composed of me and another candidate. They chose the other candidate over me. About 4 months later I was hired by another company; not exactly in my field. I really like this company since...

    MSEE Electromagnetics, RF and Microwaves + ?

    The program I am looking at has an emphasis on Electromagnetics, RF and Microwaves. If I am looking at the telecommunications industry, what other exposure might be valuable? Would some course work in Signal processing or embedded systems be beneficial?

    MS Electrical Engineering (Electromagnetics, RF and Microwaves)

    Thank you yungman. I am very confident in my mathematical ability. My minor was in Math and Computation. I have only had 2 EE courses: analogue circuits and digital circuits. Will this limit me? I have personally been buying my own circuit equipment, building, and self-learning. I know that I...

    MS Electrical Engineering (Electromagnetics, RF and Microwaves)

    Thank you for the response. Having a passion for a subject I can always count on as a requisite. But I have to be realistic and look at the career paths ways as well. Both should be taken into account and weighted. I realize that EE in RF/Microwave is tough. However, I have taken Graduate...

    MS Electrical Engineering (Electromagnetics, RF and Microwaves)

    I was looking at the MS (non-thesis) in EE with a focus in Electromagnetics, RF and Microwaves. I realize jobs in military and commercial sector for communications, radar, etc. What else is out there? What kind of security would this degree offer me?

    Electric Field near a finite conducting stick

    Boundaries of the integral: Think about it, what are we integrating over? The rod right? The rod is of length L, but is centered over the mid point of the rod. Do you see that we would integrate from -L/2 to L/2? So you got your bounds. Now separate the integral into its vector components. The...

    Will Taking a Job Outside My Field Affect My Graduate School Application?

    After a lot of searching and coming close to getting a job in the field I want, I have accepted the fact that this is unlikely to happen. Truly disappointing. I do have the opportunity to obtain a job outside my field. My concern is graduate school. I want to work for about a year, then go...

    Have You Ever Talked to an Attractive Woman?

    Yah...This is definitely something I have had mixed success with. But at at least I have gotten better at holding a conversation. I have gotten straight out rejected before. But I actually prefer this to being given a fake number. Like with most things in life, this is something that needs...

    Have You Ever Talked to an Attractive Woman?

    I did this about a week ago to this really attractive redhead. I randomly walked up to her and start talking. The conversation actually went well, contrary to past experiences. So I walk out of the bar, then I say "screw it" walk back in and ask her for her number. She agreed!...And it's...

    Electric field at origin, zero or nonzero?

    What would happen if I were to place a charge of -q at the origin? How about +q? Would you agree that they would move? What does this say?

    Interviewed for Top Electronics Co. - Is the Position Mine?

    Thank you everyone for your input. The only reason I ask is that I really want this position. It truly is the dream job out of college. But the waiting is killing me. I feel like I just read a Kafka novel. Oh well, just have to wait till next week :eek:
