<tr /><td /><b><u>When</u></b>
<td width="450px"/><b><u>What to do</u></b>
-<tr /><td />Jan 16-22
- <td />Self teach some more scheme and differential geometry, documenting
- examples. Maybe work through 2 or 3 problems from SICM textbook
- or implement some classic physics problems (eg current through
- wire cross section, variational principle examples in Feynman
- lectures, derivation of magnetism at the 8.022 level).
- <br />Understand and document scmutils package and compiler
- interactions (at least conceptually).
- <br />If I'm going to put mit-scheme in sage, this is the time to
- do it, after this point I shouldn't be focusing on the software
- tools as much.
-<tr /><td />Jan 19-26?
- <td />Work through "Functional Differential Geometry", writing out
- examples by hand
-<tr /><td />Jan 31
- <td />By this date have a proposed outline with length estimates so
- I can sanity check with somebody in the physics department.
-<tr /><td />Feb 28?
+<tr /><td />Ides of March (15th)
<td />Have something resembling a draft and be working out details,
getting comments from professors and other students. At least
one interesting application should be demonstrated.
