ok, i think my brain just exploded. Numerical methods is just waaaayyyy to boring. The first week he talked about binary, octal, decimal numbering systems, and how to convert from one to the other, and I thought to myself "we know this from Electronics and Electricity"...now he's moved on to linear systems and matrices and stuff, and i'm like "okay...this is algebra, and you are making it hard" you should see the way he does gauss and gauss-jordan... gah!! but wait, there's more... we have to do matlab stuff, but the IT people didn't get enough licenses, so not everyone can log into it at the same time (meaning tutorials are pretty much useless), and he wants us to convert matlab programs into C programs...which wouldn't be too bad if you can get into matlab and see what the program does...it's harder when all you see is the code with no real idea of what it does....

I'm not going to be able to go to differential equations today, I am waayyyy too tired to pay attention to anything the prof says...i'm just going to end up staring into space.

I can't think right now... I need a nap.

Cheers!
