this is not a relativity course, the numbers he just gave us are bad

it just tells us if the thing decelerates fast enough (is negative acceleration), just assume it hits terminal velocity

so all of the different metorites are just at terminal

The reason I am angry about my programming assignment is, almost no one else did that shit

because they did not spend the time to figure it out

now they get more time

A handful of people got it to work using this property, which was not how they were suppose to do it

I think I was the only one to actually get it to work

the way he wanted it to

Anyways, gotta go

thats enough ranting for now

programing sounds like aids

no his class is aids

The prof actually has gone on reccord at faculty meetings that he should not be teaching this course

my roomate is always raging about programing bullshit

lol

Because the prof codes in a ton of languages, but he is trash at explaining things like syntax and what not

and he mainly uses languages that are not python

syntax only matters in python

yeah

which is what we use

I picked it up by trail, but I can imagine it fucking over a lot of people in my class

trial

*

the syntax is indent scopes the same

But yeah

fuck that course

it did its job, I went from knowing nothing about coding to being decent at it

but fuck it regardless

you could probably read the official python tutorial and do the examples to reach the same level

Could have just bought the textbook my course uses

and beyond

it is how I learned most of it

The textbook is actually quite good

it is based around computational physics problems, but it explains everything well

have you learned classes, generators, decorators, inheritance, polymorphism or multithreading yet?

Ha ha

no

not a real programming course yet

It never was

the point is to basically get to a point that you can do some basic data anaylsis and do numerical integration, differentiation, des, and linear algebra

multithreading is where the hell starts

I hope umbreon is okay

he was very angry last night

are you really not going to learn about classes at all? thats a very basic part of modern programming

I can go over everything we learn

1 sec

In order

basic mathmatical operations

importing functions

for, while, if, else, elif statements

variable types

was before that

print and input statements

we apparently covered break and continue, but I have never used it

those are useful

lists, arrays, both how they work, what you can do with them, etc

dicts?

not sure what that is

dictionaries

oh, no, never talked about that

it lets you use anything for the index instead of just numbers

reading an array from a file

thats a numpy thing

user defined functions

yeah, most of our work was with numpy

i'm using numpy right now

covered a bit of good coding practice stuff

such as naming variables, comments etc

then we changed gears and did graphs, density plots, hisograms,

we skipped the section in the textbook on 3d graphs

Then we talked about accuracy and speed

numerical error, inherent rounding error

floating point error

that

integrals and derivatives, did like 4 different techniques for integration and 2 or 3 for derivatives

and errors on both integrals and derivatives

so you went from learning programming to learning digital signal processing

basically yeah

this course is really just a "here is the shit you need to know for physics and nothing else" course
