Sturgeon Posted December 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 This is more mathematical philosophy than math, but still very interesting: It starts basic, but gets better towards the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sturgeon Posted December 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 This is on the fizziks side of things, but like all theoretical physics it also runs well into mathematics, and so I am posting it here as a nice illustration of how blurred the line between math and physics is: SuperComrade 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I mentioned him to my supervisor at the University of Toronto, the first thing he said was "Oh, isn't he the guy who failed to make tenure at Caltech?" :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oedipus Wreckx-n-Effect Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 I'm taking a Process Controls course currently. We're spending some time doing Laplace transforms to solve ODEs. Currently using this to solve isothermal continuously mixed reactor problems. God I hate diff eq. EnsignExpendable 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oedipus Wreckx-n-Effect Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 Don't get me wrong, Laplace transforms are neato. But the prof magically expects us to be experts in diff eq, which is something most people took two years ago. It's been rough making the transition again.

You don't solve analytically. There are some great chemical engineering programs to solve them numerically. PDE's are hard for me to imagine though.
