Let's make a homework help thread!

I think so, yeah. I remember trying to solve it, though I can't remember for sure if I did or not.

Whee, I'm done with Descartes and I got an A on the paper. Thanks again.

Cool. Which one did you use?

The first.

Okay, so I'm making this powerpoint about the five transcendentalist ideals, I need some kind of media that relates: Comic strips (Calvin and Hobbes/Zits/The Far Side are good), art, song lyrics. The three I need media for are "Individuality", "Search for Truth", and "Experience Equals Growth". Is there any way anyone can direct me towards some sites where there might be any?

I'm not asking you to do it for me, I just need a general area I can look; the Internet is too big.

Man, I wish you guys would ask questions about linguistics.

The older xkcds appear to have some of this based on your criteria, but I don't know much about the subject.

@ Kris Mahai: Because these are subjective responses, it might be easier to find the images, lyrics, etc that you want first, then try to find them on line. Go through the lyrics of your favorite music, look at your favorite media, leaf through art books at the library, then once you know what you are looking for it'll be easier to search for it.

Edit for clarity

For poetry class, this weekend I need to take notes on the life of poet Li-Young Lee. I've gotten some good information, but I want more, and most of the online biographies keep going over the same things.

Can anyone find a reliable online medium to long biography of him?

This post was thumped by the Eldritch Flyswatter of Horror

Well, he speeds up by .89 m/s every second, so starting from zero, in five seconds he'd be moving at 5 * .89 or 4.45 m/s.

Sorry, I was doing it wrong because I thought I was looking for acceleration.

*Face Palm*

Thanks anyways.

...Help pls guys?

Well, here's something from PBS.

Thanks.

I have enough early life/family background, I just need to knwo what happened in between college and now. I mean, I know he's married, but I don't know his wife's name, or when, or blah blah blah.

Is his wife really that important to the paper? I generally just wiki something and look up the sources.

Writing a lab paper on intercropping. Results are fascinating, but the sample size is pathetically small. I know it's hard to avoid in an introductory ecology class at a tiny college, but it still .

Also, screw finding the standard error by hand. Squaring and division do not make for pretty equations and it takes forever.

My teach doesn't want us to use The Other Wiki.

Whatever, I have enough dirt on him.

Niiice pun. Wait, was it?

I'm glad it worked out for you.

Louisiana does a good deal of inter cropping. I believe it's done with rice and crawfish. And possibly watermelons. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cajun_cuisine

Penguin, Native American people intercropped squash, maize, and (I want to say) beans regularly

Oh wow I can't believe I missed this thread. Calling for any electrical engineers out there with a comprehensive knowledge of electromagnetics and signals. I need help understanding signal convolution.

On the calculus side, I need help with gradients and the applications of multiple integrals. Help will definitely be appreciated.

I can help a bit with the cal. What do you need specifically?

Multiple integration where the bounds are not constants. Seriously, how does change of bounds work for multiple integration? I think I need to hear it in layman's terms.

You mean like...hold on, let me pull up TeX.

But think about it geometrically.
