Today's formula of the day is...The Quadratic Equation formula for any x. Yes, one of the most important formulas in Algebra, well with lesser importance in Physics. Yet it simplifies needs when we encounter two-dimensional motion. This formula can be directly derived from the standard form of a Quadratic Equation, ax^2+bx+c=0. As you can see, … Continue reading Formula of the Day →

A recent color photograph of the dwarf planet Pluto. It is intriguing in that it shows two very different hemispheres on Pluto's surface, as well as strange white spots, kinda like those on Ceres, but way bigger.                                       … Continue reading Pluto! →
