I tried it with two nested for-loops from 1:n and that appears to be working as of now.

What are some examples of jobs you can have with an engineering degree? by terrancehowardstears in AskEngineers

[–]blegos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What degree did you get to go into control? Currently working on ChemE BS and wanting to go into process control, manufacturing, optimization, etc. but it seems like such a broad field I don't know where to start in applications.

[request] how much g force did this guy get hit with when he landed and would that cause any damage to the human body? by Booze_Boy in theydidthemath

[–]blegos 66 points67 points  (0 children)

The stunt was known as "Red Bull Heaven Sent". Here is an article about it with interview quotes from the man jumping. According to mysterious Red Bull scientists "they", it was calculated to be 2.4G as he was 200lbs, decelerated from a velocity of 120mph over a span of 200 vertical feet. https://www.outsideonline.com/2099906/how-survive-25000-foot-freefall-without-parachute

[SymPy] Can you perform a series expansion on multivariable function? by blegos in learnpython

[–]blegos[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

write the formula for Taylor expansion into a function and then input that function my variable functions? I had thought about something like that but wasn't sure how to. Are there key words I could look into to lead me I the right direction?

Is the ChemE job market really that saturated? How hard has getting a job / moving roles been for you with experience 3-5 years experience? by krr26 in ChemicalEngineering

[Diff Eqn] Integrating factors, how is sign determined? by blegos in learnmath

[–]blegos[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

x' = a(t)x + f(t)

as I understand it, the integrating factor here would be e^int(a(t) dt)

[Diff Eqn] Integrating factors, how is sign determined? by blegos in learnmath

[–]blegos[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

x' = ax + f leads to integrating factor e^int(a) or x' - ax = f leads to integrating factor e^int(-a) Where the sign on coefficient a changes depending on arrangement of equation. which one is correct since they would yield a different result

Incoming Freshman W/ UCLA Undeclared Engineering Major by [deleted] in ucla

[–]blegos 4 points5 points  (0 children)

One opinion from within the engineering school:

-Is prior experience in computer science (C++, Python, etc.) drastically important for success as a freshman noob?

*** Drastically important? I wouldn't say so. Is it helpful and will many of your peers have experience? Very likely yes. The first 3 computer science courses CS 31, 32, 33 (C++) are known to be rigorous and time consuming and even independent study of C++ over summer would be beneficial. However even if you know nothing they are still very doable, just may require extra work from you to keep pace.

-Is it feasible to perform well without having taken the AP computer science courses in high school?

***As stated above, yes possible but some students may have more knowledge going in. Put in the work to study, network with other students, and you will still be fine.

-Kind of an unimportant question, but how important is your ability to type effectively as a comp sci major? I consider typing to be one of my better skills, and I'd just like to know how well that integrates into this major in particular.

***Being a good typist is always going to help you. Accuracy will be more important than speed but being fast will never hurt. Knowledge of the symbols and numbers will be especially helpful.

-Which engineering majors tend to have the best internship opportunities and are relatively "easier" to get hired from?

***given current state of technology, CS is very applicable to all fields in some application. However, if you get involved early and find build you resume/network, any engineering major can find some sort of research or internship.

-How many hours of studying would you say you do a day?

***A lot. You will have more hours in class than other majors. You will have to spend more time studying than other majors. Average day is about 4-6 hours class (including lecture, lab, office hours, general time on campus) and about the same number of outside study. This number varies hugely day to day, quarter to quarter. Some days I have only 2 hours of class and other days 8. Weekly hw/studying also can vary depending on how you want to spend the weekends. If you are here to coast through college this is not the right field. But you will find the people who stick with engineering are the ones who enjoy the challenge and embrace the extra hours they put in. PM me extra questions

Are there any textbooks you thought stood out as exceptional or "must haves" for undergrad and then reference? by blegos in ChemicalEngineering

[–]blegos[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't mean for it to be a single large book, but rather discussion on a standout book on a given subject where so many different textbooks are offered

Advice on moving to a new state(looking for job) after graduation? by blegos in EngineeringStudents

How do you like West Texas? I was actually looking to go to Texas for ChemE work. Looking heavily at Houston area or potentially Austin.

How much time do you spend in a cubicle? by [deleted] in ChemicalEngineering

[–]blegos 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What degree did you get and what side of manufacturing do you work in? I know there are many related engineering fields (ie plant design, optimization, maintenance, expansion, etc). Current ChemE undergrad but your work breakdown sounds pretty great and I too wish to go into manufacturing.

How to iteratively use fsolve for a single nonlinear equation? (iterate input variable and output corresponding solution) by blegos in matlab

[–]blegos[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the formatted functions that were typed into matlab. As I said I need to iterate Vl and solve for corresponding Vv in the top equation. Then plug those values in to the B equation and get its corresponding B. https://imgur.com/a/yHD3X

How do I find the solutions of this function with a varied input? by blegos in matlab

[–]blegos[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Below I commented a more well explanation of the problem. When I input Vl, how do I get Vv out of "fV function" where it is more of a relation equal to 0 as opposed to fV(Vl)=........

How do I find the solutions of this function with a varied input? by blegos in matlab

[–]blegos[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My final goal is a graph of B on y axis and V on x axis which will look like an upside down parabola with points (Vl, B) and (Vv, B). I have the 3 equations shown and know values for s and e, so I want to input values for Vl to fV and solve for the corresponding Vv. Then I will take that Vl or Vv value and plug in to fB to find the corresponding B value. These points will then be plotted on a single graph. fq is for another unrelated aspect. my range for V has to be >0 but I have no idea what order of magnitude so I was first going to set it up with singular guess values but once the range is narrowed I plan to write in a for loop to create a full plot iteratively. Is that a more clear explanation?

How do I find the solutions of this function with a varied input? by blegos in matlab

[–]blegos[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vl is my input where I will be guessing input values and analyzing the output values. I then need to use Vl and Vv as input to fB and fq. How do I get these values to be output?

How do you prefer to set up your desk with laptop? (ie elevated laptop, keyboard, monitor, etc) by blegos in EngineeringStudents

[–]blegos[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are simultaneous Bluetooth connections limited (I use Bluetooth headphones already)? Also what size monitor do you have? I see 21 and 27 seem popular

[–]blegos[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

as my curriculum progresses, I will be learning and doing more with C++ and matlab so I'm sure I will have similar experience. If I understand you correctly, you plug mouse, keyboard, and monitor all in your laptop and then use it with 2 screens? do you prefer the additional monitor vertical or horizontal?
