So this week got off to a bit of a slow start (project wise) due to the fact that I was in California for Harvey Mudd's admitted students weekend and only got back on Tuesday. In other words, my weekend/Monday was spent meeting extremely nerdy people (a good thing mostly), learning some awesome math tricks/facts (I won a free DVD!), and playing a complicated version of tag/RPG in the tunnels underneath the campus... So luckily HMC is probably one of the most incredible places on Earth (I'm not sure that is hyperbole) seeing as I applied ED there.
As for my project, this week the charge trapping problem (applied math problem) that I have been working on is coming to a close as there isn't whole lot left to explore or program. I have compared my results to Derek's (a student at the U of A who is using Matlab to explore the same problem) and they match up. Also, we've figured out some analytic stuff as well (most of the work has involved numerically solving differential equations).
So basically, I'm more or less done with making pretty graphs for now. That's a good thing since Dr. Manne wants us (Derek and I) to present our problem/analysis during the undergraduate research symposium on May 5 which will give me some practice for my BASIS presentation.
So that's about it for now.
