The head of mathematical physics is going to be there, I will be lecturing on Feynman Kac, in particular its applications in path integration and statistical mechanics.

For somple reason I always read Stokes theorem as Strokes Theorem.

Has anyone ever gotten those weird mathematica errors? The one's where you type the same thing again and it works perfectly?

Probably for the same reason that you merge some and simple.

Had that in MATLAB, but mathematica likes me better.

I have been fighting the urge to etymologize 'avocado'.

This is a compromise

I haven't. Let's just start with the obvious source to get the ball rolling.

1763, from Spanish avocado, altered (by folk etymology influence of earlier Spanish avocado "lawyer," from same Latin source as advocate (n.)) from earlier aguacate, from Nahuatl (Aztecan) ahuakatl "avocado" (with a secondary meaning "testicle" probably based on resemblance), from proto-Nahuan *pawa "avocado." As a color-name, first attested 1945. The English corruption alligator (pear) is 1763, from Mexican Spanish alvacata, alligato.

From proto-spanish a-vocado, meaning "mute".

Some things are better eaten than etymologized.

That is to say, better enzymized than etymologized.
 
  • #3,229
As long as I don't have to entomologize

For the fourth (fifth?) night in a row I dreamt I was coding up a program -- except instead of writing code for a computer algorithm, I was writing life. My own life. Often I would write a line of code for the immediate future, moments before it happened.

It was a totally different take on lucid dreaming.

Went to see "The Wolf of Wall Street" - laughed almost from start to finish, so over the top, everything is exaggerated waaaay too much and then some, but it's a great movie. Definitely suggest checking it out if yous want to laugh :D

I haven't been able to open BBC for several hours. Anyone else having trouble?

It's working fine for me, accessing it from inside the UK. Maybe the adverts and/or content-blocking for overseas access is broken.

this happens when I'm on vacation, I got a game called Deus Ex: Human revolution from a friend and...this has been most of today, been playing this game almost allllll day except a few tea breaks. The most depressing bit is it will be most of tomorrow as well, most likely.

I'm told there is something called "a life" that you can get from somewhere. I can't find them on sale on eBay though. :biggrin:

Well, if you had 6 or 7 guests, you should be fine :smile:.

Drink lots of water.

(Oops, probably too late for the water tip.)

Don't let your grandsons turn all four of your flashlights into storage cylinders for dead batteries. Get rid of cable and upgrade to directTV.

I have 200 h work done this month, legally I can't work a second longer. The weather went haywire, suddenly there's snow, a nasty wind - I can't even bother to go anywhere except swimming and playing snooker. Besides, this game is fun, I guess I can afford to not have a life once or twice a year :D

What we think were the motivations for SR:
-Reconcilation of mechanics with EM
-Symmetric treatment of time and space

Actual motivations for SR:
-So we didn't have to work with 4 different sets of units for EM anymore.
