Won't bore the experts with my incremental learnings - will update this post when I have made as much progress as I can. with actual parametric plots and now have some progress. GraphicsĮDIT: I replaced the convenient Disk etc. I'm sure I can improve on this (suggestions welcome), but the thing that has me stumped is how to overlay/include an incremental parametric plot of the cycloid itself. I have an entry-level manipulate that shows how a cycloid is traced by a point on the surface of a rolling wheel. Plotting such line segments is very tiresome to do by hand, so learning how to do this with a computer algebra system is incredibly useful.Edited at bottom - I think the problem is my unwise expectation to overlay Plot_ over Graphics objects and magically have them scale. A slope field or tangent fields is a graph that shows a short line segmernt with slope f( x,y) at every point to the differential equation \( y' = f(x,y) \) in a given range. It is very useful to use Mathematica to graph slope fields, or direction fields. In the previous section, we show how to provide a qualitative information about solution curves to a first order differential equation using direction fields. We first start with adding solution curves to the direction fields. Their applications will be clear from presented examples here. \) Besides, Mathematica also offers their variations: Plot = Plot[x = f(x,y), \) a user needs to set 1 for the firstĬoordinate and f for the second one, so making the vector input Most differential equations do not have solutions that can be written in elementary form, and even when they do, the search for formulas often obscures the central question: How do solutions behave? One of the ways to trap solution curves is to determine their boundaries-called fences. WolframAlpha can also handle more complicated inputs, like r () exp (cos () 2 cos (4) sin (. By clicking the dog-ear in the bottom left of the images and then Copyable plaintext, you can see the Mathematica code used to generate the plots. Understand the features of the solution and its behavior. We can easily extract the Mathematica code for this plot right from WolframAlpha.

![]() Elmer H from Westville, OkWhat a great early rock & roll hit by the great Little Richard.Their jukeboxes still had Fifties' rock & roll hits! Getting out on a crowded dance floor wasn't too easy for this girl (I was 498 pounds in '67), but when I got the inertia factor going on the dance-floor-look out!! I still love "gut bustin' rock & roll!! I loved to dance to Little Richard songs in college bars when I was in college in the mid-Sixties. I believe I read that in some of Little Richards' bio's. got it right-the song really is about a whore-house (The House of Blue Lights) & a whore. A "gut-busting" rocker!! Hey, Steve from Raynham, MA. I, too, love that raunchy piano intro and the sax break. ![]() Rotunda from Tulsa, OkYowzaa! This song is part of rock-n-roll history, as is Little Richard.Barry from Sauquoit, NyOn May 3rd 1964, "Good Golly Miss Molly" by the Swinging Blue Jeans entered Billboard's Top Hot 100 chart at position #89 and on June 7th it peaked at #43 (for 1 week) and spent 7 weeks on the Top 100.Įxactly 38 years later to the day, on May 3rd, 2002 Little Richard performed the song on the ABC-TV network special 'American Bandstand 50th - A Celebration'.Fix your hair, fix your care, a rhythm of old came from within, it started to spin - you grabbed the waist made no haste - and works melted to play. reward for work, often crumbs, was like a ball and chain - like a rock.įinally time came to sit outside, waiting for supper to get done cooking, while rocking in a rocking chair, you'd find inspiration in youth - that had energy still and get revitalized! Up for sup, satisfied for good food and company - came time to celebrate kinfolk and yourself. Lisa from Maryland"Keep the ball rollin'" was a term to keep workmen and workwomen going.* The quartet also performed "Proud Mary" on the same 'Sullivan' show. Tom Fogerty passed away on September 6th, 1990 at the young age of 48. One track from the album, "Proud May"*, reached #2 for three weeks on Billboard's Hot Top 100 Singles chart. In the 1950s when I was a teenager and a true rock 'n roller, I had five idols, and now all five are gone. Barry from Sauquoit, NySuch a sad, sad day.Sandy from West Jefferson NvSure like to ball means what?. Athanas doesn't consider it much of a difference, but Holekamp says that cooks who work at extreme temperatures appreciate the extra control. ![]() On gas ranges, Wolf's burners provide 500 to 16,000 Btus while Viking's burners provide 1,000 to 15,000 Btus. He points to the Btu output of the burners as another Wolf advantage. If you have an older home, check with your salesperson, designer or installer to be sure the floor joists can support the weight. Kirby Holekamp, sales manager for Modern Kitchens in Syracuse, N.Y., agrees, but adds that Wolf appliances, which his company represents, tend to be heavier as a result. The cast iron makes for a durable product that withstands the rigors of shipping and moving and can last 20 to 25 years, says Athanas. "What Wolf does differently than any other company is they use a cast-iron frame. The dealership carries both Wolf and Viking appliances. "The number one difference is the build quality," says Chris Athanas, sales manager in the custom kitchen department of Abt Electronics in Glenview, Ill. ![]() Viking offers a stainless steel finish plus 23 other colors, a wider range of appliance types, and a three-year full warranty on the Professional Series products or a one-year full warranty on the Designer Series products.

However, the Bank of Japan (BOJ), or Japan's central bank, was forced to stick to the ultra-loose monetary policy due to weak domestic demand and sluggish economic recovery, according to the report.Īmid surging energy costs, Japan's wholesale prices rose for the 21st straight month to hit the highest level in November, with the corporate goods price index rising 9.3 percent from a year earlier to 118.5, central bank data showed.Īnalysts believed that the weaker yen amplified the negative impact of high international energy prices on the Japanese economy. The United States adopted a tight monetary policy in response to high domestic inflation, triggering many central banks to follow up with interest rate hikes, according to a report released by Japan's largest bank MUFG Bank.

The developers no longer listen to feedback, partly because the forums are run by a bunch if elitist fanboys, who ban any critics, interupting the flow of information between player and developer, and partly because Gaijin would rather increase their profits as much as possible, rather than focus on making the game better, or more enjoyable.
