I'm a mathematician working on ALE moving mesh algorithms.:)
I have a BS in Biochemistry and came really close to getting a math minor, but got bored with it and didn't take the last 2 5 crdit hours I needed for that. I work on mostly in R& D for a small chemical company makeing polymeric detergents for the study of proteins within the cell membranes.
Good enough! Hey, you're my new colleague!;)Quote:

I loved science in high school, but loved art more, so I went to art school. The only course that even had the word science in it was "Issues in Art, Science and Technology" which had almost nothing to do with anything, just whatever the prof felt like talking about. Sigh.
In ALE, a fluid flows throught mesh to be anylized during an interval in time, the time step, and as the time step continues, the mesh becomes more greatly distorted until it must be given up and then recreated by a delta function whitch has to do with ratios and polar coordinates. The mesh is an analyzing algorithm for the fluid. Then the Eulerian method of steady state is used to complete the time step. In the Lagrangian method the time step is broken into two parts:transferring into acceleration and then mapping using the Jacobian method. To update the mesh, the algorithm warps to the polar coordinate ratio to x,y. This is done to measure fluid in fluid dynamics. I work at the Lawrence Livermore Labratory.
I'm sorry for you. But hey another scientist! yes!:) I'm not alone...:DQuote:

ah, yes, ALE is an acronym for Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian. Lagrange and Euler were mathematicians, if you didn't already know. Lagrange also invented the Lagrange multiplier.
I have a BS in Computer Science and a minor in Mathematics. I'm currently writing my Thesis for my Masters in Computer Science. So, I guess I'm a scientist.
I've worked for AAAS (American Association for the Advancement of Science)for 15 years. We publish the weekly journal SCIENCE so some has rubbed off on me by osmosis.
p.s. Hey, it's good to be back:D Laurie
Laurie!!!! Welcome back!!!!
Hi Aly, Sammi, Zippy, Phred, Paul - everyone....and Chuck, if you're lurking, hi to you too :p I'll try to be better, it's been a long, hot, unpleasant summer and I didn't want to bring everyone down. Things are looking up though.:cool:
Laurie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WELCOME BACK!
You shouldn't roll your eyes at things you don't know yet, and hey how did you train those guys to be in sychronization? Its the one good thing about you that I know, beside the fact tahat you don't know where I live...Wait! My signature! Oh Gilgamesh...Well, I live in Haight and Ashberry! And St. Francis Wood! And the Mission! And Berkely! Hahaha! Thank you quantum mechanics...:DQuote:

Puffin, I was a geology major for 4 years, but then decided I didn't want to work in the lab or the field which, as you know in geology, kind of limits your choices! lol;) :D I then transferred to education and got my bachelor's in secondary education with a major in Earth Science and a minor in General Science. I later added U.S. History and as a result ended up with a teaching job in Social Studies, but did teach 6th grade Life Science for 3 years. My love though is still Geology...gotta love those rocks!! lol My favorite area is Plate Tectonics, Earthquakes, and Volcanoes...of course all interrelated.
I never really got into geology, but I loved and still love life sciences, my signature quote portrays that...Maybe the mathematics of variable volcanos and the radiation hydrodynamics applied to it bursting..;)Quote:

There you go...I'll convert you to geology yet! lol
Now....as for your signature...does that mean you're a DNA reject?? lol j/k.
I'm glad to see you're putting your efforts into a more positive vein...I appreciate it.
yEs...hEhEhE Sorry I couldn't resist...:)Quote:

Alright...POP QUIZ...What is a prion?Quote:

Oh in the name of Franz Kafka...Is that a polymer growing out of your head!?;)
Don't know a whole lot about them, but prion proteins are involved in certain diseases such as mad cow.Quote:

Good. Does a free falling electron emit e/m radiation?Quote:

Aright... Heres some basics:What is a function? What is the derivative of x,y also called?
Give me an example of an integral path...Whats a harmonic oscillator?...Believe me guys, these just the basics.
What does the line integral integrate? Whats the Riemann t manifold? If you have a mathematical symbol using system thingey mer jig, what is the function of the Aleph? Calcululate a triple integral.
What is the jhat used in calculating!~Hehe, more to come later...
Puffin...you're hurting my brain!! lol You sound like my physics prof Dr. Littlefield who graduated from MIT. Are you from Massachusetts??
Ha! I'm your professor, "mugsy"! Hahaha!Quote:

The Marina, here - an alumni of Galileo. Popcornbird, it's his thread. It was suggested he start one to expound on. Which he did. Thank God for people 19 who love learning and thinking - even if they do get a little patronizingly pompous!! We need Frostfrog - think I'll buzz him. Puffin, you'd love him! Another male in an estrogen predominate world!!! Who writes divinely.Quote:

Umm.....I think its summer. Tired of discussing school stuff mister. We need a break from functions and x,y algebra/geometry/trigonometry stuff. :rolleyes:
As for the adults who are done with school and college....go ahead.....remember your old days! :D
Oh, I am a knowledge freak - I started out in Fine Art and Design, found through a math course I had a talent for it, went into Physics, had to quit because I didn't do the professional student thing right, so entertain myself by following the leads of people like you, Puffin.
Thats really very exaggerated...I'm no Galileo or even a guy on the street. I'm just a blob who tries to look smart.:oQuote:

Ok...no "puffed" up heads now! GEEEEZZZZZ That was really bad...self admittedly...no excuses for that one! lol
Thats one of few compliments but...That was funny! Really, this may be a dumb question, but does ones head become larger the larger their ego is, physically?lolQuote:

If you lived in San Francisco, you'd know Galileo High School and the Marina district -
Hey I meant that as a pun.:)Quote:

OK so we have here Norweigan Puffin83 (a very good year) who lives in Florida and Bezerkely. Goes to Berkeley and works PT at Lawrence Livermore (I'd love to have made that decision when I was a young 'un).
So far, so guud.?.?
D*mn those IP numbers...And I will admit that I am in fact ten years old and live in the terrible state of Florida and WISH I lived in San Francisco...:rolleyes:Quote:

That would make you Puffin92!!
Yes it would...Okay you found me out...:oQuote:

And a Sagiterrian at that!! And mugs can't spell!
Aha! The old Henry Higgins sign - according to an astrology book I once had! The thinkers.
