Infrared Controlled Autonomous Vehicle with video!
How cool would it be to have your own mini autonomous vehicle / drone that generates sounds like 3cp0?
Well that’s what I wanted to found out and so I built a 3cp0 mini brother. This gem has 2 modes, drone mode which is controlled by Air Conditioning Remote and autonomous mode. I will be updating this page more periodically. Hit the read button for more information. UPDATE VIDEO INSIDE!
MathCad: Hardy Cross
When sen. Stevens told *Internet is a series of tubes* he was wrong, but also maybe he was thinking of Mr. Hardy Cross. Hardy Cross was a structural engineer who devised a way (in the 1900s) to calculate flow rate of a pipe network when some pipe flows are known. I am sharing the technique with a mathcad subroutine and an example. Interesting technical stuff

The Newton (better known as Newton -Rhapson) is a method for solving roots using derivatives. The idea is that roots will converge as more iterations are made. Limitations to this method includes:…
Full StoryMathematica: Aircraft Structure and Book
As part of aircraft structure class, we where given each week from 3 to 6 problems we had to solve. Each problem tipically took from 10 to 20 pages. It was expected to hand in the source code of the programming language used and a paper of manual solution. I chose Wolfgram Mathematica Language (the [...]
