My Interests

Drinking, music, playing guitar, quantum fluid mechanics, kittens, growing beards,
Funny Cats 3 - video powered by Metacafe oh and fancy dancin'.So when you fly in an airplane, you need these. Can you guess what it is?By the way, did i forget to mention drinking?

I'd like to meet:

Books:

Textbooks are all i read and i dont want to read anymore.It's alive!It's called heat transfer... ahDUH!!!

Heroes:

The forefathers of modern day fluid mechanics:Osborne Reynolds, developed a dimensionless number that can be used to characterize fluid flow.Fourier, among other things, developed infinite series expansion functions that can model otherwise incalculable functions...think about that.Laplace, "Dear Laplace, thank you for making complex differential equation solving not only possible, but the solvable ones a hell of a lot easier."Then the other general heroes: "Len Harrington" from sevenstep, and kitties.

Kinematics II (acceleration) In the last section I left off with velocity.  Where vavg = ∆x / ∆t = (x2-x1) / (t2-t1).  The acceleration of an object is the rate at which the obje...
