Another wonderful day of Vector Calculus and Inviscid Flow. We've finally meandered into Chapter 3 of our math book: Differential Vector Calculus. Dr. Kuperschmidt half-way developed/proved the super-important operators: div, grad, and curl. Holy Kuperschmidt, Batman!
The Superfriends met after Vector Calc to start looking over the practice tests for Inviscid (or Inviskid). Both tests look pretty fair, I just need to keep the calculus from intimidating me. I let myself get flustered today. I know, suprising. After studying, we went to lunch at the cafeteria (quickly becoming a Thursday thing). Salisbury steak was good, but it kept salisbury-ing all afternoon (not so good). While we walked back from lunch, we realized that we - the Superfriends - were probably the coolest group of people at the school. Yes, Jeff and I have finally arrived. At lunch, we were the focus of the room. Everyone kept getting up from their table to stop by, say hi, rub Jeff's head, and ask for advice. It was surreal.
Inviscid class was fine. Boundary Conditions for both fluid-solid and fluid-fluid interfaces. According to Dr. Vakili, things get really interesting for fluid-fluid interface when you drop the invscid assumption. Neat.
Smallville was pretty good, but definitely not as good as the season premier. Oh well. My home-made barbecue nachos made up for it, even if the Velveta re-coagulated way before I was done eating. CSI was totally out of left-field tonight. Talking dead bodies in the morgue, chapters, chainsaws - I think they've realized I'll watch anything they put on. And they're right.
Battlestar Galactica premier tomorrow @ 8:00 pm! Frack Yeah!
