Interesting video about applying vector classes to solve physics problems !

Yeah the program that he is writing is about converting from polar coordinates to cartesian coordinates. This is very helpful since doing calculus with polar coordinates is kinda like not hard, but not so easy either. So converting them to cartesian(or…

This is almost over….

I never thought  I would see the day when all of this would end, but here it is, at last. As it seems, COMP 3010 refuses to go! As a parting gift, it left us pointers. No…they’re not so easy. But still, I learned more than what I thought I was going to learn from [...]

Project Euler Problem

As my first problem to solve, I chose the number 6. I did not choose a harder one because I was sitting in front of the chemistry classroom and I had very little time to solve anything worthy of being called a challenge. I still wanted to do something, so I analyzed this one: “What [...]

Project Euler!!

The professor suggested a website where there was very interesting math and programming problems.  Its name is Project Euler(http://projecteuler.net/) and its aimed to practically any math fan, whether you major in it or not. I have already seen some …

My Apologies.

I have been very busy doing work from a lot of classes and trying to keep up the good grades in other classes that I completely forgot about this blog. I am very sorry, however I will make up for it. In these next weeks we shall see a lot of interesting things I have [...]

The 2nd Lab

I got so much work to do this weekend! I got like three exams for next weekend, COMP3010 is one of them. Then I have 10 PROBLEMS to solve C++.  People have told me that they are not easy….and I only have 3 days to complete it and hand it in. Worse I also have [...]

The midterm

I’am pretty scared of the midterm because it will be my first programming exam. I’ve never taken an programming course, and taking into account a question that the professor suggested, I think I’ll have to review in depth. I suspect the exam will be more than reviewing code or filling bubbles. It will have more [...]

Loops and Constants

It was a very informative lecture today. Since I am a mathematical physicist, declaring constants and monitoring repetitive operations is a thing of everyday. The generation of loops on my program is very handy especially is I have to analyze a series of discrete numbers or have a table of odd numbers on a given [...]

The debugger!!!!

Lol today we discussed how to use the debugger on emacs editor I got lost the first time. However I am an autodidact so I’ll see if can learn this without asking anyone because I really want to master these techniques of programming. So far the  process and using the terminal to open and and [...]

Boolean expressions in class

I actually never thought that boolean expression had any other application outside the field of logic and set theory. Well I was wrong because they showed in the introduction to programming class the logical connectives for boolean expression. For what…
