Summer school is over now, what a relief that is.
The course I was taking, Control System Design, covered the topic of stability and instability in various systems which undergo oscillatory input.
For example:
-A car suspension is a system of bolts, springs, washers, and other bodies of mass. The oscillatory motion is the bumpiness of the road.
-Any ( Read more... )

Well first to say is, obviously, my resolution has been broken.

Today's classes were not bad, and the weather has followed suit.

We got back the exams for Machine Design.
And that's enough about that, haha.

Between classes I played my guitar a bit, which was nice.
I'm working on deriving some interesting chord forms. I also like hitting notes that are equivalent to an adjacent open-string (so it's like hitting two ( Read more... )

My free time before and in between classes today was spent reading and summarizing chapter 5 of my System Design class, as we were having a quiz on it today. It payed off, and the quiz was very easy for me.

Most of the other students will resort to copying straight out of the solutions manual, and approach the problem as though a cookie-cutter ( Read more... )

We got our Fluid Dynamics exams back today.

The rest of my day has been divided between homework, reading, guitar, and mount & blade.

I think I will make another large post soon.
