In my Introduction to Electronics course (300), we often run across division by zero. I know that it is technically undefined (or, at the very least, ambiguous), but sometimes we consider the value to be zero and other times to be infinity, which are, obviously, diametrically different (apart from negative numbers). I'm not so much interested in the nature of division by zero but more in how we determine whether we regard the value as zero or infinity? Again, this is in the context of electronics and circuit analysis, to be more specific. Thank you for your assistance.

While each of us has had a reading of our blood pressure taken, many of us may not know what blood pressure actually means. Blood pressure is expressed as a ratio of the maximum (systolic) and minimum (diastolic) pressure found in the aorta during one cardiac cycle. These pressure values are measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg). Determining abnormal blood pressure is critical for diagnosing and averting a number of serious health problems (e.g. heart disease and stroke). Doctors therefore make decisions about the potential for serious health problems based on a few simple calculations. One simple calculation of interest is pulse pressure (PP). The pulse pressure of an individual can be computed as the difference between the systolic and diastolic pressures. Create a Java class file called PulsePressureIST140. This program will compute a user's pulse pressure based on two inputs: the systolic pressure (a int value) and the diastolic pressure (an int value). Once the input is…
The following is accurate if a transistor on an integrated circuit chip is 2 microns in size or smaller: How much bigger will the transistor become in two years, according to Moore's Law? What significance does Moore's Law have for computer programming?
The Famous Gauss You must know about Gauss, the famous mathematician. Back in late 1700’s, he was at elementary school. Gauss was asked to find the sum of the numbers from 1 to 100. The question was assigned as “busy work” by the teacher. He amazed his teacher with how quickly he found the sum of the integers from 1 to 100 to be 5050. Gauss recognized he had fifty pairs of numbers when he added the first and last number in the series, the second and second-last number in the series, and so on. For example:(1 + 100), (2 + 99), (3 + 98), ..., (50 + 51). Each pair has a sum of 101 and there are 50 pairs. History repeats itself. Jojo’s teacher assign a “busy work” to the students. The teacher believes that there will be no shortcut to finish this task in a minute. The teacher gives N integers A1, A2, ..., AN to the students. The teacher also gives Q questions. Each question contains two integers L and R asking the sum of all Ai where L <= Ai <= R. As a good friend of Jojo, help Jojo…

Can you suggest any ways in which the philosophers' dilemma may be applied to the study of computers?
So I'm doing a project that requires me to come up with an example of calculus for use in computer science. I was thinking of calculating CPU usage as an integral and need an example of this being done. I need to be able to write up the answer in integral notation.
Can someone help me with the concepts of big-oh notation? Still quite unfamiliar with it...
Complete the following sentence. Due to errors during computer calculations, two theoretically equal numbers (e.g. sin(pi) and e) can differ slightly, causing an equality or inequality test to fail.
