When What to do -
Jan 16-22 - 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). -
Understand and document scmutils package and compiler - interactions (at least conceptually). -
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. -
Jan 19-26? - Work through "Functional Differential Geometry", writing out - examples by hand -
Jan 31 - By this date have a proposed outline with length estimates so - I can sanity check with somebody in the physics department. -
Feb 28? +
Ides of March (15th) 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. @@ -61,7 +44,7 @@ bnewbold.net/cal.
