My porgraming course in 3 posts
Still angry about that bullshit
also my other assignment that I was getting shit like accelerations of 10^11m/s^2 is also bullshit
as confirmed with my classmates, the numbers are bad
much
speed of light is approx 3x10^8
it is entirely because we are assuming the density of the air at 100km up is 0.1kg/m^3
when it is actually 10^-5
which results in pressures on a metorite that is falling of 40 million netwons / m^2
the assignment is just fucked
lol
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
The prof actually has gone on reccord at faculty meetings that he should not be teaching this course
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
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
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
Could have just bought the textbook my course uses
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
Ha ha
no
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
I hope umbreon is okay
he was very angry last night
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
lists, arrays, both how they work, what you can do with them, etc
