+ Q = F (t ) (1) dt CHere t denotes time, Q denotes the charge on the capacitor at time t, R denotes the resistance ofthe resistor, C denotes the capacitance of the capacitor, and F(t) denotes the applied voltage. Oneway to view equation (1), which we shall call the mathematician’s point of view, is that thismodel equation is simply a first-order linear ordinary differential equation for which there is awell-established solution procedure. (See, for example, Edwards and Penney4 pp. 46 – 47.) Thispoint of view is satisfying to the mathematician because it demonstrates the utility ofmathematics. However, regarding the RC circuit as a “solved problem” does not

Python directly supports conjunction and disjunction in terms of the build inprimitives and and or, the negation is done using not. A nested loop can be constructed togenerate the truth table for standard logic operators such as the and for p in (True, False): for q in (True, False): print "%10s %10s %10s" % ( p, q, p and q)Once again the code is highly intuitive and requires minimal coding ability.

When a tensorof rank four operates on a tensor of rank two, the result is a tensor of rank two. When a tensor ofrank 4,086 operates on a tensor of rank 1,237, the result is a tensor of rank 2,849.

. 5. Total cost and profit.In the electric field of a line of charge example, a thin, uniformly charged rod of length L withtotal charge Q generates an electric field. Students are guided to find the strength of the field atdistance d in the plane that bisects the rod. Figure 1 Line of ChargeThe total charge Q is divided into many small point-like charges ΔQ located at points 𝑦𝑖 and theelectric field from each of them is determined. The net field can be found by summing the fieldsof all the point-like charges ΔQ and forming a Riemann sum. By taking the limit as the numberof point-like charges ΔQ increases to infinity, the Riemann sum will converge to a definiteintegral. The integral can be
