Hi Ooj. It may just be so. :P

I'm trying to place a group of units I've never heard of before into the correct category, making myself look extremely uneducated in the process. The teacher is tracking all our attempts at this :lau

Is a kWh an unnamed derived unit?! I'm not quite sure whether ms^-1 counts as kHz (there's some weird rule about using dots between the fundamental units) and whether or not that would then count as a named derived unit.

And anyway, what on earth would horsepower go under...

lol epic fail.

Whoa... *Inducing brain shut down* *Cannot compute* *Cannot compute* *Fizzle Fizzle pssst crackle bweep*


.....
*BOOOP*

So how's that going for ya now?
My teachers have been trying to cram every possible inch of work into the past and coming weeks before spring break, hence mah absences.
If I can make it till next Friday... Just Friday....:th

My history teacher did delay our history paper though!
No absolutist Russia for me this week! *High five*

*switches Ooj's brain back on*
Replaced the circuit breaker fuse :P

(Mine was in a similar state after about ten attempts of that exercise. A horsepower is a named derived unit. So is a Fahrenheit, and a RADIAN. What??!!)

The lecturer showed us the correct answers in class, because apparently nobody could do it :lol:

Process engineering is probably the easiest course I have right now. It's just converting between units, and the problems involved are very simple. A big deal is made over the process flow diagram, which is just a series of boxes with arrows coming out of them. :P

Absolutist Russia, sounds interesting, lol. I have, in contrast, been learning about subduction zones and divergent plate boundaries. This provides a good opportunity to draw nice diagrams with rows of crosses along the Wadati-Benioff zone.

Today is Sierpinski Sponge construction day in the maths learning centre. I should go and stick some pyramids together. :D

I did not know horsepower was a derived anything.... *Ponders meaning of life*

It sounds... So simple.. *Twitches*
I am not very good at switching between anything. I always get confused somewhere down the line.. And diagrams. Nope. Nope. Naha.

Oh, it is. lol Sort of. Lovely bunch of people they were during that time.
Sounds even more fun! I get to learn about all that good stuff next semester!

Sierpinski Sponge. :P
The name both frightens and delights me at the same time.
 
There was no trace of the stage seven Sierpinski Sponge they were distributing flyers about last week... *sad face*

It's a fractal (I'm serious, how awesome is that word?! It ranks very highly on my list of favourite words) made of pyramids. :P You stick four triangular-based pyramids together as the corners of a big triangular-based pyramid. You then stick four of these bigger pyramids together to make an even bigger one. Stage seven contains tens of thousands of the original small pyramids. Frightening but definitely very delightful. :lau

Your course does sound interesting, all I'm doing right now is geology, high school maths, high school chemistry, and process engineering, which is topic one of high school physics in more detail.

(But university is still seven shades of awesome. I have met an entire directory of new people in the past two weeks. Political conversation is always encouraged, and there are invitations for protests and demonstrations (you should go if you ever have a chance, they have some brilliant guest speakers at those things :P) all over campus.

Plus free BBQs. You can never go past free BBQs.

Today's - the engineering society's - had over 200 people in the queue when I rocked up though, so I decided I'd sidle away again and wait for next time. lol...)

I found the Sierpinski sponge!

It's currently on display out in the hall.

I gather it collapsed at stage seven, because it's been reduced to a mere stage five now. :P

Our maths lecturer gave it a mention at the start of the lecture. lol.

O_O
I was right to be frightened. Gerbils are the natural prey of both fractals and things that come in thousands.
Pretty much anything math-y or engineer-y as well. And lobsters.

I am taking a math, comp 2, history 2, 2D and 3D design. Fuuuuuuurrrrn stuff. I am still undecided major wise. Ugh.

I am glad that university life has absorbed you! lol Like a less scary sponge. :P
Pretty much the same here, although I get enough of all three from my english class. We've been discussing the mess going on with Crimea/Russia, etc. Friday we hypothesized theories on what could happened to that plane that *Poofed*.

No clubs or activities here offer free BBQs!!! :tongue
