Do you work at a military college?Well, I'm not a student and have not been for many years, but I will be delivering about 10 hours of lectures on Torpedo Processing Algorithms on our internal Torpedo Engineering Course, and lectures on the History of the Torpedo for a branch of the IET, Warship Battle Damage Survival Probability Analysis from Historical Data, and The Japanese Navy's Wargaming of the Midway Campaign at a historical OA symposium (the last two are pending acceptance, despite their being by invitation).

I have no finals and midterms this semester as well. Next semester I will probably have them Matlab but the others are iffy on having them.I'm just wrapping up two courses:
-- Manifolds II (Basically differential forms, integration, orientation, Lie groups, and de Rham cohomology)
-- Mechanics I (The "fun" stuff - Lagrangian and Hamiltonian Mechanics, symplectic & Poisson geometries, and some stuff on fluids at the end).
Lucky for me that I don't have a final in Mechanics I; I only have a take home final in Manifolds II that I have till Tuesday to finish (that's the main reason why I'll be MIA till then).
For next quarter, I'm taking two courses:
-- Manifolds III (We're most likely using Hatcher's Algebraic Topology as a text)
-- Differential Geometry (All the fun stuff - connections, Ricci tensors, curvature, Riemannian geometry, etc. with a look towards Relativity [since I'll be at MSRI this summer with a classmate at the Mathematical General Relativity workshop]).
I have no idea what I'll be taking in the Fall since they haven't released the 2012-2013 schedule yet (yes, I get to see all the courses offered this next year!!)...so I'll have my fun putting together theoretical schedules then. But I know I will be apart of a contact topology seminar as well as an algebraic geometry seminar [I'm going to help co-organize it, and it's something I'm looking forward to doing!].
There are employers other than those in the education sector.Do you work at a military college?
Every year you are always doing something with submarines it seems.
Your past and actual activity in the naval history is a great surprise for me!... although I am an absolute 'amateur' in naval history, one of the 'insolute questions' of my 'repertory' is the following: there was really no possibility of 'saving' the Titanic after the iceberg's collision in the night of o4\12\1912?... have You or other 'experts' ever studied this problem from the 'mathematical point of view'?...Well, I'm not a student and have not been for many years, but I will be delivering about 10 hours of lectures on Torpedo Processing Algorithms on our internal Torpedo Engineering Course, and lectures on the History of the Torpedo for a branch of the IET, Warship Battle Damage Survival Probability Analysis from Historical Data, and The Japanese Navy's Wargaming of the Midway Campaign at a historical OA symposium (the last two are pending acceptance, despite their being by invitation).

My Fall 2012 schedule is slightly changed.This semester I have:
Theory of Complex Variables
Mathematical Biology and Ecology
Fall 2012 I will be taking:
Analysis 1
Adv ODEs
Fourier Series & Integral Transforms
Possible programming in Matlab as well
At first I thought this was an English course but I'm guessing now that it's engineering.Adv Eng Analysis 1 (I will definitely take this at the sacrifice of the above course unless taking the 4 courses won't be too difficult.
Foote did a one day crash course in Riemann surfaces Tuesday. Tomorrow is a crash course on Sheaf Theory.The Fall 2012 and Winter 2013 schedules have been posted in my department!
In Fall 2012, I will be taking:
Lie Algebras
Dynamical Systems Theory
and in Winter 2013, I hope to be taking either two of the three or just maybe all three:
Algebraic Geometry I
Riemann Surfaces
Symplectic Geometry
I will finally have TA responsibilities in addition to taking classes!! Just when I thought I was done with taking classes, there are some that I just can't ignore...I...must...take...them...all....... XD
Symplectic Geometry is something I wish I could do, but no such course is offered here. It looks amazing. All of the other three sound interesting but not as much. What are you doing your PhD in, again? Mathematical Physics?Next quarter, I plan to take
- Symplectic geometry
However, I'm dabbling with the idea of taking one more class and I'm deciding between the following three:
- Riemann Surfaces
- Algebraic Geometry
- Non-relativistic Quantum Mechanics
Although, if I end up taking the one class, I'd have a lot more free time than I have now...so...we'll see how things turn out.
I'm getting my Ph.D. in mathematics (focusing on mathematical physics; to be more specific, it's in celestial mechanics [and to be even more specific, my thesis is going to be related to the three body problem]).Symplectic Geometry is something I wish I could do, but no such course is offered here. It looks amazing. All of the other three sound interesting but not as much. What are you doing your PhD in, again? Mathematical Physics?![]()
This spring I will probably take
Programming in Matlab
Systems and Synthetic Biology
Orbital Mechanics
Analysis 2 or Continuum Mechanics or something else
