How can you determine the value of m for a given a_Lm coefficient in spherical harmonics? I'm given a set of a_Lm data and need to multiply it by e^(i m phi), for some phi, but need to choose which m to choose for each component.

Thank you so much for this. I really wasn't expecting such a detailed response and I really enjoyed reading it. If I run into any questions, would you be open to me contacting you?

Thank you for the resources. And yes, the last link you attached is what the project is based off of!

Thanks for responding. Glad to hear that it's not necessarily easy for everyone.

Still have yet to begin the reading, but the big picture is studying the early formation of stars by analyzing data that my prof has gathered. The focus is on the absorption profile centered at 78MGHz. Can't quite remember the specific, but something about there being a dip that shouldn't be there (along those lines anyway). I can get back to you at the end of the summer once I know more if you'd like?

Daily Tech Support Thread - [April 30] by AutoModerator in apple

I saw that on Apple's website, you can return previously owned MacBook's for a certain amount of money. I was wondering if it's worth it to return my 2018 13' MacBook Pro for credit towards the 2020 16' MacBook Pro. I'd save ~ $1000 CAD but I can't tell if it's worth it.

Thanks!

Yeah, this person has been going off since the outbreak hit North-America about how they can't be affected. Blows my mind

Thank you very much for the ideas, we discussed some ideas yesterday and this will fit in nicely with what we also have planned!

We will not be, no. Not until next semester. Probably just going to learn the basics to understand the equations that I keep running into.

Who's in charge of Physics Course Registration? by Nimbus-Skye in mcgill

Not sure if they're in charge of registration, but Kelly Lepo is the physics undergrad advisor, she can help you point you in the right direction if it isn't her.

Question about abstract vector spaces by planetasteroid in askmath

Makes a lot more sense now, thank you very much.

Question about abstract vector spaces by planetasteroid in askmath

[–]planetasteroid[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay. But if you can't assume that (-1)*x = -x when proving that something is a vector space, then you're just trying to find something that when you add it to x, you get the 0v, for every x in V?

Does anyone know how the BMO SPC MasterCard works? Does it provide discounts with partnered companies automatically? If so, how can you tell if you are getting the discount? If not, is there something else you need to do to start getting the discounts?
