چکیده
Just because a method X converges faster than Y in theory, doesn’t mean that X is faster in practice, due to the strange world of modern computer architecture. Balancing mathematical and implementation issues is my goal. The problems I help solve should ideally be somehow useful to someone in an application domain. My mathematical background is reasonably good (in the sense of “oh I remember seeing that before,” not in the sense of being able to whip out a pencil and derive it all). I like linear algebra (especially iterative methods for linear systems), ODEs and PDEs, and analysis; I get by when talking about nonlinear optimization, logic, discrete mathematics and data structures. My background in the sciences is lacking. I am also interested in object-oriented design and software engineering. Two years working part-time on a simulator for shipboard disasters have given me practical experience in these fields. I can code in C, C++ (yay for the STL!), Matlab, Gnuplot (a bit), Perl, Java and even a little Lisp (I’m learning, slowly), and have a little experience with SQL and Mathematica. Though I prefer the GNU development tools (emacs, gcc, ddd, autoconf) and Unix-like environments, I used Visual Studio 6.0 (out of dire necessity) at my job and had some familiarity with Win32 system calls. So I’m a coder with mathematical training. Another potentially useful fact is that I can speak German and read technical documents in the language. The other important facts about me will become apparent over time.

متن کاملEffect of Fixing Agent Dosage on the Mechanism of Colloidal Substances Retention onto Pulp
Three polyamine fixing agents with increasing molecular weights (m.w.), PA-Lw, PA-Mw, and PA-Hw, were used to treat a deinked pulp at three different levels of chemical dosage. The objective was to elucidate whether the retention mechanism of colloidal substances (CS) onto fibers by a fixing agent is different when the dosage is different. The results show that, for the polyamine with the lowes...
متن کاملEffects of Intermittent Warming and Prestorage Treatments (Hot Water, Salicylic Acid, Calcium Chloride) on Postharvest Life of Pomegranate Fruit cv. ‘Shishe-Kab’ during Long-Term Cold Storage
We examined the effectiveness of intermittent warming (IW), hot water (HW), salicylic acid (SA), and calcium chloride (CaCl2) on the postharvest life of pomegranate fruit cv. ‘Shishe-Kab’ and extending fruit shelf life during cold storage (3°C). Fruit were subjected to cycles of 1 d at 17 ± 1°C every 6 d of storage at 3°C under IW conditions. Pre-storage treatments were HW (50°C) for 3 min, SA ...
متن کاملNew calculations of the parity nonconservation matrix element for the J pi T 0(+)1, 0(-)1 doublet in 14N.
A new calculation of the predominantly isoscalar PNC matrix element between the J T 0+1,0 1 (E 8.7 MeV) states in N has been carried out in a (0+1+2+3+4)hw model space with the Warburton-Brown interaction. The magnitude of the PNC matrix element of 0.22 to 0.54 eV obtained with the DDH PNC interaction is substantially suppressed compared with previous calculations in smaller model spaces but sh...
