Here is my favorite formula:
$ f(a)=\frac{1}{2\pi i}\int_\gamma \frac{f(z)}{z-a}\ dz. $
This is a test formula:
$ A \vec x= \vec b $ - Eun Young
Question from a student :
I have a question on the Kirchoff law problem, section 7.3 problem 18. On the loop portion of the defining equations, relative to a clockwise direction, I find the equation of the right loop to be -12 I2 + 8 I3 = -24. Is this correct to assume the I2 term is negative due to the counterclockwise flow of I2, as with the voltage term?
Answer from Eun Young :
Yes, it's correct and it's same as $ 12 I_2 -8 I_3 = 24. $
Question form a student :
That equation is the same thing I got, I just took a different direction for my KVL around the loop (e.g. $ 12 I_2 - 8 I_3 = 24 $). However, I don't fully understand what your question is. I do however have a question on p. 287 #12, 14, and 15. Is the book looking for a rigorous proof or just an example of this property? --Rrusson 18:48, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
Answer from Eun Young :
When a problem asks you to show or prove something, you need to provide proof. When a problem asks you to disprove something, you need to give an example. Hence, you need to prove #12, 14, and 15. There is a theorem about an rank in sec 7.4. With this theorem, you can show the properties in #12, 14, and 15 easily.
