At around about 5:00 this morning the Earth finished another complete orbit around the Sun since I drew my first breath.

Spent a lovely afternoon at the Preston Steam Rally on Sunday ( Read more... )

I was going to rant a bit about how many important, iconic works are missing from this list including a total lack of anything about mathematics, philosophy or the natural sciences and then it occurred to me that actually this is just the contents of someone's bookshelf that they posted.  Also I notice an awful lot of books that have been made into ( Read more... )

No more MSc until September. Completed two courseworks for which I earned 90% in both and an exam in which I scored 96%. So I think that one's going well ( Read more... )

This is the kind of stuff I was brought up on.

Got my final result I was waiting for - my Numerical Methods for PDE exam.

96%

I'm a bit worried. It's suddenly occurred to me that maybe this means I'm really, really boring.

I must start spending more time getting smashed.

I have to larf. During the past 24 hours, the inflation headline on the beeb news has gone from:

'Inflation could top 3%'

to

'Inflation now 3.3%'

to

'Inflation could top 4%'

I'm sure we couldn't have worked this last one out for ourselves.

My first coursework on PDE solution by Numerical Methods I was pretty confident about, and this was borne out by my 90% result. But I really wasn't sure how well I'd done on the Electromagnetics coursework. It involved rather more physical understanding and creative thinking and the problems were stated in a way that I felt was a bit ambiguous ( Read more... )
