additional notes (redux)

  1. I found the key, lying in the grass. We've regained ground thought lost to the entropy.

  2. [livejournal.com profile] whitewhale went and saw Mr. Mandelbrot, for whom is named this thing, one of the most magnificent and wonderous objects in all of Mathematics:
    the Mandelbrot set

  3. I essentially aced my continuum mechanics midterm. I say "essentially" because I received only 40% credit for one of the questions despite having a manifestly correct response. Among my errors were referring to the existence of complex numbers and committing the cultural faux pas of using dirac notation instead of undersquiggles. Clearly I should have listened to [livejournal.com profile] squarkz. I have written for redress of these grievences.
    $$ | v_1 \rangle\langle v_2 | \longrightarrow \utilde{v_1}\otimes\utilde{v_2} $$

  4. My advisor complimented me on my photo of the goodman street yard, which I have on the wall here. I ventured an explanation, that it was taken from the roof of my "other apartment." He became very confused, possibly even agitated, about why I would have such a thing as the loft. The best answer I can give is, "for fun," which was apparently not satisfactory.
