Post-grad studentness

[arioch666]

Well first couple of days on my new course: MSc in Physics and Technology of Nuclear Reactors. Looking at the timetable its gonna be a pretty intensive course schedule, so going to be fairly busy over the year. First day was just admin and general info, with today being the first day of lectures

Glad to see your back out in the real world of uni life rather than studying at home!
I think all your lectures would have gone right over my head *lol*

[arioch666]

Just in the same way as anything you were studying would have gone over my head as well!!

P.S. did Koucheksarai tell you about Cruxshadows? I still need to verify the details first.

You always are, from what I hear ;-)

I hope they taught you to use Excel in a nice tidy fashion that meant you had a useful application afterwards, and not a random mess of numbers that will mean nothing to you in a few weeks time :)

I'm always happy to hear uni courses are teaching people to use things like Excel. In the right hands, it's an extremely potent tool. In the wrong hands, it's just a very expensive calculator.

Currently from the first lecture on Numerical Analysis its just being used as an expensive calculator at the moment, but shall see how that module progresses. Also had the joy of starting to learn FORTRAN today as well :/

[rocketeddy]

That doesn't particularly surprise me, it's still very popular in academic circles. Which version? 90? (I certainly hope they're not teaching you Fortran 66!!)

[arioch666]

Its FORTRAN 77

Its still also used a lot in the Nuclear Industry currently too.

Meh. Got work in 15 minutes :(
