How to Write a Master Degree Thesis As a Physics Major
Your First Scientific Paper Ought to be good! Structure and Contents of a Master Degree Thesis This guide was written some years ago as a guideline for students at the Physics Master level at the...
View ArticleLearn Time Synchronization Across Switched Ethernets
Now and then you come across measurement problems that are tightly associated with the notion of synchronicity, meaning that things need to happen simultaneously. The usual things that need such...
View ArticleHow to Manage TCP/IP In Automation or Measurement Networks
The 1990s saw the widespread adoption of network technology on two fronts: Office automation and factory automation. But while office automation soon standardized on Ethernet (for volume reasons) and...
View ArticleReflections on Technology Product Quality
On Hardware Quality It is impossible to test quality into a product. Quality must be designed into the product. The hardware designer is always responsible for the production yield. The purpose of...
View ArticleWhy Road Capacity Is Almost Independent of the Speed Limit
Let us start with a familiar situation. Take a familiar part of a road, for example, the one from your home to work. How long will it take you to drive from one end of that stretch of the road to the...
View ArticleUsing the Fourier Series To Find Some Interesting Sums
Preliminaries If f(x) is periodic with period 2p and f’(x) exists and is finite for -π<x<π, then f can be written as a Fourier series: [itex]f(x)=\sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty}a_{n}e^{inx} [/itex]...
View ArticleLearn Further Sums Found Through Fourier Series
In an earlier insight, I looked at the Fourier series for some simple polynomials and what we could deduce from those series. There is a lot more to be found, however. Evaluating the Fourier series at...
View ArticleExplore the Fascinating Sums of Odd Powers of 1/n
The goal is to get a little bit closer to the values of the zeta function (ζ(s)) and the eta function (η(s)) for some odd values of s. This insight is an expansion of two of my previous insights...
View ArticleInvestigating Some Euler Sums
So, why only odd powers? Mostly because the even powers were solved by Leonard Euler in the 18th century. Since the “mathematical toolbox” at that time did not contain the required tools, he needed 6...
