We used to get notes like this, but only when my kid's grades dropped below a C. He's not exactly a dedicated academic, but he managed to graduate.

I thought I fell victim to spyware at first.

I think it could be anything. Think of as sine wave. Any frequency can be at any phase angle. Isn't that true? If you knew time delay or something, or had the complete transfer function or a bode plot, maybe you could figure it out. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. I'm pretty...

If you mean phase angle I don't think you can. You can have many different phase angles with different frequencies. I think you would need another piece of information. 45 teta is pretty significant size.

Yes, the angle of the "tetas" do vary according to the load. Sorry, just cracked me up. Carry on with the serious discussion.

Looks impressive. I'll take a look at the University programs. It doesn't look to me like you really have any questions for anyone. You came on, ostensibly concered about how your program would be viewed, and when people gave you their honest opinions you discounted those you didn't like and...

Calculus based prob and stats? Which text did they use? I am also interested in which school this is. It sounds like they expect a lot from their METs and EETs. It's amazing you're an expert in everything. I'm aware there are people like that. Usually they don't come out and declare...

At this point I wouldn't worry. With your experience and coursework it sounds like you'll be okay. But you may also not be the typical tech graduate. I can really only speak to EE vs. EET, but in many ways it might apply. Many companies will hire EETs the same as regular EEs, it just depends...

I thrum my nose at all that!

Is it an AC source? I think in that case you have to consider the impedance of the elements. http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase...ric/acthev.html I'm sure I came across this problem years ago when studying for it, but now that you mention it I don't recall. Most Thev problems I...

Given your military background and experience, I'm not certain a PE is essential, or how much it adds. That said, are you sure you wouldn't be better off with Control Systems, or the MEchanical - Fluids exam. Of course, I don't know what you specifically did. A high school acquaintance has a...

Kids that age generally prefer the rides at Magic Mountain or Knott's Berry Farm, but those places are just getting pretty grimy, AFAIC. I think the place she liked best was Rodeo Drive. Although of course we didn't buy anything.

You share my disdain for these places. Of course, my suspicion is that you are not a 14 year old girl like my niece. Although I think she preferred Universal Studios and the Santa Monica Pier to Disneyland actually.

My sister-in-law and niece came over from Spain for three weeks and we spent a good deal of time carting them around to just about every California tourist attraction. That was my vacation. It cost a bit because they didn’t want to spend much money, so I bought them admission to a few...

I'm trying to be charitable. Were those gas lines and alternate gas days under Carter? I hated that. When you're a partying youngster with little money it was easy to run out of gas. Edit: I think that was Nixon now that I think about it. Sorry Jimmah

I do think Carter deserved more credit than he got for his part in the Camp David accords. which I think were reasonably successful.

Yes, Congressional approval is at a historical low. It also seems to be one of the most worthless statistics around. I don't think Congressional approval averages above the 30%s, yet the vast majority of Congress members are always re-elected. Most people have some vague notion that they...

What kind of boss can't tell the difference between the Man of Steel and the Caped Crusader?

I agree. In fact that looks sort of like a problem I recognize from studying for that communications exam many moons ago.
