In matlab I learned how to solve the roots for polynomial equations that my calculator can't do. It can solve polynomials with over 10+ terms! I haven't actually tried to crash my computer to see how many actual terms this baby can handle but I am so amazed at this!

I missed this problem!

When Bill Gates died, he went up to Heaven, where Saint Peter showed him to his house; a beautiful 20 room house, with grounds and a tennis court. Bill Gates was pleased, and spent many months enjoying the amenities of Heaven.
One day, he was enjoying one of Heaven's many fine parks, when he ran into a man dressed in a fine tailored suit.

"That is a nice suit, my friend," said Gates. "Where did you get it?"

"Actually," the man replied, "I was given a hundred of these when I got here. I've been treated really well. I got a mansion on a hill overlooking a beautiful hill, with a huge five-hundred acre estate, a golf course, and three Rolls Royces."

"Were you a Pope, or a doctor healing the sick?" asked Gates.

"No," said his new friend, "Actually, I was the captain of the Titanic."

Hearing this made Gates so angry that he immediately stalked off to find St. Peter.

Cornering Peter, he told him about the man he had just met, saying, "How could you give me a paltry new house, while you're showering new cars, a mansion, and fine suits on the Captain of the Titanic? I invented the Windows operating system! Why does he deserve better??!!!!"

"Yes, but we use Windows," replied Peter, "and the Titanic only crashed once." -Humor.com

I love veggie egg rolls, they're delicious, because they're fried, ah I love fried grease, plus the veggies are squishy just like steamed veggies, and it all my favorite veggies inside and a particular taste that makes my mouth drool. That's why I love veggie egg rolls, they're good, so eat a lot of them and make yourself happy

Today in my class my professor had an interesting talk about his experience working for NASA on a top secret project regarding the Blackbird. Odd enough, us sophomore students could have solved the problem with our knowledge and a $1.50 worth of supplies. Anyways, the blackbird is a government spy plane that is supposed to be the fastest in the world. The plan was only outraced once by a Russian plane, but the Russian plane blew up after passing the Blackbird (proves nothing, except the Russian plane can't handle that speed!). The problem with the plane was with one of the engines. For a tenth of a millisecond one of the engines would randomly shutoff, leaving the plane with a huge amount of Torque and thus the plane would spin, making the pilots unhappily crash into the windshield, not good at all. Anyways my professor analyzed the problem to be with the shockwaves inside the engine. To make thrust for the airplane, the outside air is slowed down with a little mechanical system inside the engine area. This little mechanical system also had little opening doors that allow for more air to circulate. Anyways, shockwaves are produced inside this engine and they are randomly dispersed, usually the position of the shockwaves do not matter, but if a shockwave is produced at the very tip or opening of the engine, then Housten, we have a problem. The air is dispersed on the surface and thus the engine is deprived of much needed air for that tenth of a millisecond. The engine suddenly turns off....

The solution to the problem was being able to detect when the shockwave was at the tip of the engine and open certain doors to allow more air to circulate for this case. So what was needed was sort of likie a frequency detection device, to detect a certain frequency and at that certain frequency do a certain output... same type of material that we are learning in class oddly enough. The stuff is really simple. And from analyzing the frequency response of the engine and its graphs, we can correct the output by adding various circuit elements such as capacitors and inductors, resistors, adcs, etc... This was very interesting. The solution worked. Strangely enough, the air force had tried to correct this problem itself before NASA called my prof for help. Unfortunately, the airforce couldn't figure out the problem exactly, so if made a mechanism to shut off BOTH engines if the one should fail. They're reasoning was that you had so much altitude to fall and you would have enough time to recover and turn the engines back on. This was ok, but not desirable. This helped solve the huge amount of Torque caused by the engine failing.

Just thought that this was veyr interesting
