Certainly when I have time to fine-tune the article on complex numbers and write that one I might look at that idea.

Write something interesting, that I can actually understand.  :)

Well, what with Exams round the corner and the fact that it'll take a while to put the article I'm planning to write together, it's looking likely that my next "proper" post here will be in a couple of months. I'm sure you're all devastated.

This is the first time I check this thread and I love it! Although I still disapprove the usage of paint-like diagrams :P I agree with Edison about LaTex...

Quote
“Three people, a biologist, a physicist and a mathematician, are made to watch a room with only one entrance. They are told that the room is empty. Two people walk in, and three people walk out. How did they explain this?

The biologist says, “Maybe they reproduced?”
The physicist says, “Perhaps I counted wrongly.”
The mathematician says, “Send one more person into the room and it will be empty again.”

You nub...

I actually laughed at that :D

Although the explanation was uncalled for...

Maybe the next could be something about how an audio signal travels from the input ex. the computer to the output device ex. the speaker?

Could be interesting. Dealing with the transformation of a continuous-time sound signal to the electrical discrete-time sound signal representation, Nyquist frequency, Fourier Transform (FFT actually), use of common filters as Butterworth or Chevyshev (depending on the frequency you want to transmit) and the basics of informatics is always interesting.

I think the next one should be on QCD.

Maybe in about 5 years.

Hmm. I might look into that but would find it hard to go into it too much. The problem is that Nyquist sampling depends on understanding the Fourier Transform, which itself depends on integral calculus and complex numbers, and all sorts besides. There's a lot of ground work behind it and I'm not sure that without that it would make sense.

Those of you who have died of boredom waiting for the next post, i.e. nobody, will have to wait some time more I think. Still, readers may be interested to know that the General Relativity post, with a few typos and small additions, recently won third prize in a lucid Science Writing competition. FYI.

-still waiting-
Being a good racer in Halo isn't just about getting the best times. You have to know where your teammates and enemies are, and most of all... how to be crafty! XD -nods-

Oh... and "v.v" = sad face.






Props to Plixity for the first sig, Slayton for the Season XIII trophy sig, and Jane for the banner! Thx guys! ^.^
