The traditional analog function generator with its customary triple-threat ensemble of square, triangle, and sine waveform outputs is a familiar tool on electronics lab benches. It’s also a classical ...

Your circuit prototype finally is complete, and now you need a signal source to test it. The function generator is a good choice. It can provide sine, square, and triangular waveforms from fractions ...

A signalling network known as the mitotic exit network (MEN) in S. cerevisiae and the septation initiation network (SIN) in S. pombe, although conserved, seem to regulate different cell-cycle ...

Trigonometry is a branch of mathematics that studies relationships between the sides and angles of triangles. Trigonometry is found all throughout geometry, as every straight-sided shape may be broken ...

Solve the equation \(4\sin x^\circ - 3 = 0\), where \(0 \le x \textless 360\). From the graph of the function, we can see that we should be expecting 2 solutions: 1 solution between \(0^\circ\) and ...

Many students think they've solved a trig equation when they get one answer (one size of angle \(x^\circ\)). However there's often more than one answer expected so be aware of this. Let's remind ...

Swept sine waves let you test a device over a wide frequency range. To implement a swept sine wave with a multifunction data-acquisition card, you need to generate the data points and send them to the ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about mathematics and its applications Except that it is, once you know what to look for, but to get there we have to take ...
