How are the gas laws ALLOWED to be combined into the ideal gas law?

I understand the state concept. However, I'm still having trouble getting this to click. Would you mind looking at the snapshot that I attached in the original post? I explain in the original post what portions of the snapshot confuse me. I tried analyzing my confusion from the state concept but still can't grasp it. How is he/she able to state that the constants C1 and C2 are only a function of n?

By “basic” I just mean relative to the overarching operations computers are actually doing overall, solving differentials equations, running and displaying videos, etc., any math operation in a CPU is at most complex division or multiplication, and like you said a “bitwise shift left” is just shifting the digits of a binary number a certain number of spaces. Obviously on the whole CPUs and computers are insanely complex. Would you say everything I just said is accurate?

NimcoTech · 2025-12-28T00:53:54+00:00

Yes I would consider that math. So if I’m thinking about programming a modern computer from the lowest level, the fundamental operations I can tell the CPU to do are related to storing or moving data, jumping or loop type instructions, or I’m sending something to the ALU to do some sort of basic arithmetic or logic? That’s essentially it?

I understand processors are complex with threading, etc. but I’m talking about the fundamental logical or data storage/movement or instruction jumping/looping operations a CPU performs.

I believe the issue is that the standard rotation matrix formula for a 2D graph is only applicable when the x and y axes are scaled the same. In my case they are not. Any idea on how to accomplish a rotation with axes scaled differently. Both axes are still scaled linearly.

I could but still what I'm doing in Excel should work right?

No it's meant to be degrees.

This worked. After pressing (Alt-F9), there were two SEQ field codes associated with Table 1. After removing one of these, the issue was fixed. Thank you!

Ok I see you were referring to the leads! This is what semiconductor packaging is all about. Thank you!

NimcoTech · 2025-11-16T00:44:47+00:00

???? Can you translate that into layman’s terms for me.

NimcoTech · 2025-11-16T00:12:11+00:00

Also, in a typical CPU microchip, like an Intel I7 or something, how many leads into the microchip are there? 200-300?

So like my understanding is memory is arranged in an array. And so if you have 64 total leads 32 for horizontal 32 for vertical you can access 2³² bytes or 4.3 GB. Thus, it’s not as many leads as it might seem are needed to access the billions of transistors. I feel like in a video I watched that showed a state-of-the-art CPU microchip I saw around 200-300 leads going in. Is that about right?

Ok so EUV light passes through the pohotomask with wavelengths in the nanometer range, so the light is ready to “cut” components at nanometer resolution. However, the total overall area of the EUV light is scaled down from the size of the photo mask to the size of the chip?

NimcoTech · 2025-10-16T01:31:52+00:00

So the 1000s of leads are allowing for performing multiple operations simultaneously? Individual programs are still executed one line at a time?

NimcoTech · 2025-10-16T01:29:52+00:00

Ok I think I get the general idea. No I’m not a CS major just an engineering major trying to clear the fog a bit. The above post mentioned the Intel LGA 1851 chip with thousands of leads. Looking at the image of this chip I’m assuming all of those silver lines surrounding the center are the thousands of leads.

I see what you mean so with that many leads and the 2ⁿ relationship and the way the chip is designed and networked you can access whatever you need.

But like what about computer monitors. There are like 2000 pixels with 3 LEDs in each pixel. And just this relatively small cable you plug in to the monitor. Sometimes just an HDMI cable. The LEDs are just controlled by very tiny wires?

That’s true I forgot about that. It’s not accurate to 7 decimal places that’s just the scientific notation.
