Calculus App for iPhone

Calculus Test is a new app for the iphone that drills you on calculus problem. Test your knowledge of limits, derivatives, indefinite integrals, definite integrals, the chain rule, integration by parts, u-substitution, and more using this handy iphone app.

Tap limit, derivative, or integral and a problem is randomly selected and displayed for you to solve. Solve it, then tap "Answer" and in flash card format, the screen view flips to reveal the answer.

This simple drill program is great to help you get ready for your calculus exams, whether its college calculus or the dreaded AP Calculus exam. Also great for those who want to learn calculus through self-study.

New Energy Revolution-NOT

Randy Mills with his company "Blacklight Power" has been claiming for years he can generate power by putting hydrogen atoms in a "state below the ground state". As anyone who has studied quantum physics knows, you can't put a hydrogen atom in any energy state lower than the ground state. Its not physically possible and would violate the laws of quantum physics as we know it. Those laws have been repeatedly tested and verified to higher and higher precision over the past hundred+ years, and the theory of quantum mechanics is completely solid, so why should anyone believe this nonsense?

Apparently the goons at CNN don't care about the details of quantum theory. They'd rather get happy about Blacklight power's claim to no CO2 emissions, cheap power, 200 times more powerful than burning gasoline or coal. All based on a pseudo-scientific claim. CNN is supposed to be a news organization so they should have consulted some leading scientists in this report.

Hubble Photographs Extra Solar Planets

The Hubble Space Telescope was used to take a photograph of a planet orbiting another star, the first such photograph made. Its just a white dot in the picture, but its an astounding achievement.
