Bing-ah!

My Thursday math class was moved to today at 4PM. Wednesday is an off day for UTSI - no class. But I had class today. And I'm not happy about it. At least it proved I'm smarter than the professor. There were some proofs in the homework - uxvdotw things (vectors). He said that he only proved them by expanding them into components and going through tons of algebra, but that the "missing guy" (a student who couldn't make it to class at the odd time today) had shown him how to do it vectorally, that is, without expanding into components, just with vector identities. That's what I'd done, expecting it to be required because it's the more formal way of proving identities. I should show him a copy and see if I can talk my grade up some already in the semester. I like alpha nerd status, what can I say?

Also in the alpha nerd realm, I did a MATLAB problem for a friend after being asked about it, but not asked to actually do the problem. It was easier than I thought it'd be. I'm mostly fluent in MATLAB, just a little rusty, so all I needed was a refresher in syntax. The answer was a circle.

Inviscid Flow is the only class tomorrow since the morning class was today. Vakili better be more organized, or I'll be asleep by 1:15. I like the class, but I have trouble following even the simplest derivation when it's that helter-skelter.

I have a lot of TV shows I need to catch up on before the new season start. I should have done it this summer, but oh, well. More tomorrow.
