Degree Symbol in LATEX

Posted on 17th February 200729th May 2009 by jdkrabbe

LATEX has a command for pretty much every useless symbol known to man, but it doesn’t have one for something I would consider pretty much essential… The degree symbol You can write a circle in suberscript using math mode: ^\circ The obvious thing to do is to define a command that writes a degree symbol […]

When a Gaussian is not a Gaussian

Posted on 10th February 200729th May 2009 by jdkrabbe

I’ve been sitting in an ETLC computer lab for quite a few hours here trying to write a computer simulation of the phys 397 lab that Rob Joseph and I have been working on for the last month. What should have ended up being a “straight line” passing through a nice series of 60 data […]

I missed out on the Keg Races Obstacle course because I had a mandatory lab and I skipped out on the Wrap-Up […]

Eng Week Begins

Engineering Week is now officially underway I’m sure that attending class will be at approximately a rate of 60%. 75% if I’m lucky, I’m going to do my best to fit in a dozen events and meet the requirements for the beer fridge draw. Design competition, movie night, scavenger hunt, a couple parties and the […]

Days of Physics underway

Posted on 9th January 200729th May 2009 by jdkrabbe

Tuesday and Thursday this semester are certainly days that will teach me that even great things like physics need to be managed in moderation. Hopefully this semester won’t turn me against it (I have little doubt that this is impossible) but I’ll certainly get my fill. Starting with Electrodynamics and then Quantum for 3 hours […]
