Fluid dynamics is what really made me appreciate math. Up until that point it was all just really intense versions of trig (civil engineering). I never really understood the beauty of calculus and differential equations until fluids.

Why did he whisper, why did she scream? What does the sound of a screen door mean? Who talks on the hill? Who goes to the cellar, can you feel the chill? Where does the river, when will the wind? How far are the mountains? Where do they end? Why would the church? Did the service begin? Tell me who died, and tell me who cried. Help me hide in the skin of a deer, my zippered-up bag in the mouth of a stag so swiftly I go through rows of does, it flows, it flows, it flows, it flows all over the hill where the green grass grows.

I feel the same. fluid dynamics is my life. Cool 777th post. Mine was in this thread too. Funny and all since its about numbers.

A 5.0 kg bucket of water is raised from a well by a rope. If the upward acceleration of the bucket is 3.0 m/s^2, find the force exerted by the rope on the bucket

It really hit me one night when I was a little high and I started seeing math in the sky. I was trying to explain to someone on here how chemtrails are bullshit...

If the tides are caused by the moon and we only have one moon, how come there are two tides a day?

Cool picture! Advection at its finest. It is really cool to watch the clouds and see all the spectrum of waves that are there.

For Coaster, or anyone else that might know: Can you describe Krylov subspace to me? I'm having a bitch of a time visualizing it in my mind lately.

The same equation that applies to the toothpaste I mentioned earlier applies to the oceans:

This is conservation of mass. When the moon pulls on the ocean, it gets shallower 90 degrees away. Then 180 degrees away it has to get deeper again. Think of the ocean as an oval, and Earth is a circle inside the oval.
The atmosphere has tides too.

Jesus...I just got a book on linear algebra, trying to learn more about the geometry of spaces & manifolds. You might want to check out The Road to Reality. I'm chewing through it now. It's a physics book, but it's the most math-heavy book I've read that wasn't a text book

Yes an ellipse is more appropriate. Kepler's laughing at me from his grave.
