No sir. They may look similar but never the same.


I actually never said they are the same.

Did I say they are the same?

Schrödinger's equation in my 300level electrical engineering material course burnt some brain cells I haven't recovered till date. You stood the risk of being abnormal at the end of proving those equations.
Why does one need to prove those equations?

Good luck bro. I love it when people think of something and go throught with it.

Geo.favor must hear this cool
hehe. Interesting list, I must say. Our educational system, though, has succeeded in making us not see how most of these equations apply to the physical world (which is why I do my own underground studygrin).

Most of us just plug in the equations and insert numbers to get numeric answers, without really understanding the concepts behind them. Well, I don't blame us; I blame our educational system: the type of teaching and exams they set encourage it.

Maths begins to bore me when I can't explain it to myself with words. This is why physics is much more fun cool.

My best equation on that list is Eistein's mass-conversion-to-energy equation: E = mc2.. Simple, yet very informative.

Thanks.

Equation 14 is what rules d world now,QUANTUM MECHANICS- (energy,electronics,and other miniaturization), I can relate with all the equations, I don't regret studying INDUSTRIAL PHYSICS

I really have some respect for you bro....industrial physicists rule the world when it comes figure/ numbers and numerical analysis

some would say Nikola Tesla was greater than even Newton and Einstein but never got enough publicity chance. I wonder if this be true ...
Tesla is more of an engineer than a scientist,but i can call him the Einstein of engineering.he has hundreds of patents and discovered a lot of inventions which include the alternating current,rotating magnetic field,wireless electric current transmission e.t.c and he his the father of wireless signal transmission even though Thomas Edison and Marconi stole his patent(with the help of U.S. Government).in terms of intelligence he is on the same level with likes of Newton,Einstein and other great scientists.

See the years listed. Back then people could sit down and think. Today's generation waste away on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, NL, several random blogs or even on their personal cellphones taking selfies.

The same amount of time some chose to waste on social media is probably same as what these legends needed to think of something new to help others for centuries to come.

The news back then would be the big things these great people came up with. Today, the news are s'tupid topics like what davido/wiz kid/ini edo/linda etc wore to church last Sunday, the color of their gate, name brand of their purse, who flew on a private jet vs who flew first-class, who can shake their bum bum faster than the other, who killed a snake, a rabbit etc. Who cares?

These listed great people obviously paved the way for others to even know how to count whatever change these over-rated people think they're worth today.

Familiar with 11...

Shrödingers equation was almost a nightmare... first I didn't like the name grin then the lecturer wasn't helping... students be like "but sir!" lecturer still be writing plenty on the board... next thing you know, final equation is on the board! Beht how?!

But since you are not a part of this indomie generation, what have you invented? Where is your own mathematical formula? Or what advancement have you made in your field??

Mathematics is all around us, and it has shaped our understanding of the world in countless ways.

In 2013, mathematician and science author Ian Stewart published a book on 17 Equations That Changed The World. We recently came across this convenient table on Dr. Paul Coxon's twitter account by mathematics tutor and blogger Larry Phillips that summarizes the equations. (Our explanation of each is below):

Here is a little bit more about these wonderful equations that have shaped mathematics and human history:

Must everyone be inventors? Why can't I just be a person that values and supports people that can actually use their brains more than the indomie personalities we read about everyday here on NL?

Mathematics is the language of the universe and the oil by which science is eaten!!!.

While Einsteins relativity E=mc2 explained most of the mechanisms of our macro world it falls short in the quantum world or even a blackhole.

I also wonder why Newton's second law of motion is not there, it explains a lot to us about motion we experience everyday F=ma

anyway hopeful string theory will deduct an equation that unifies everything!!!


The recent discovery in early Feb, of a means to observe and measure gravitational waves is probably the biggest metric currently aiding scientists in the study of the nature and origin of blackholes.

The relativity theorem had earlier predicted the existence of this gravitational waves.

I strongly believe this simple-looking relativity equation, E=mc2 , which already has hundreds of other formulae derived from it, is the MOST influential yet....increased advancement in design of observatory tools will open our eyes more to this formula's relevance.

Search Me. I never got round to knowing why then. But now, I realise they are just a small part of mainstream knowledge one in the sciences should know and apply. key word here is Apply! But the Nigerian educational system messed it up as usual.
Even Maxwell equatilns- A whole lot of lecturers in the academia don't understand why and how those equations are even important in the first place. LA cram LA pour. its pathetic my brother.

E=MC2 has to do with claSsical physics, we are at the quantum era, which sees particle as not dual in nature

These are the great legend for their own generation/centuries, very nice of them. My own theorem for this generation is still being process am goanna publish it soon.
