▲ A New Era ▲

This might be one the greatest days of my life thus far! Daft Punk is of the formative groups that I listened to as a kid and I can say that this album changed both my life and how I view music. 

It’s gonna be an all-out 90s French house-music party in my apartment for the next 48 hours with this album spinning on the record player.

Hello fellow tumblrs. I realize I haven’t been around much lately, primarily because of work. I work at an amusement park, not the most glamourous of jobs but it pays VERY WELL. In any case, I figured I would share some of my goals for this summer with you guys:

1. Get a record player, and begin a vinyl collection (Record Player acquired, but no vinyl yet: Work in Progress)
2. Get a longboard.
3. Discover more music! (A goal that will never be finished)
4. Re-learn guitar. 
5. Learn Complex Variables and Statistics. 
6. Save my monies so I can purchase an automotive vehicle by the end of the summer. 
7. READ MORE.
8. Find a MP3 Player (or an iPod) that can fit my entire music library and a couple of movies.
9. Find the existence mathematical beauty everywhere I go.
10. HAVE AN AWESOME SUMMER WITH MY FRIENDS!
11. Put my academic life into perspective so that I can go back to school next semester and KICK SOME ASS! 4.0 GPA all the way!

I’ll keep you guys posted on how far I’ve come with all of my goals this summer!

Truly an amazing experience, the topic of choice was equizonal ovaloids. The “math talk” was conducted by my current Linear Algebra and Differential Equations professor using nothing but knowing acquired from Calculus I, II, and III, and it’s geometric implications in 1-D, 2-D, 3-D, and higher dimensions. While most of the mathematics presented was more than familiar to me (potentially embedded in my DNA), it was applied in ways I could even fathom (or let alone come up with). I think that I am starting to truly appreciate mathematical beauty for its abstraction and mystery. It is almost as if I have some sort of spiritual connection with number, arbitrary constants, variables, and equations alike. I still want to know more. Until I know it all (which will never happen), I shall continue my quest to truly understand the mathematics of this universe and possibly (hopefully) others.

So, I’ve been away from school for about two days now and I’m already bored (partly because I haven’t left the house in the past 48 hours). I’ve decided that learning Linear Algebra and Differential Equations shall cure me of my boredom…

Ok, so I just finished my first week of Mechanical Engineering classes. It was fantastic! I’ve managed to locate the focal academic theme of my learning experience for my semester in a matter of a week. And that theme is: VECTORS and 3-DIMENSIONAL SPACE! With the exception of my Introductory Economics class (which is a total joke) all of my courses (Multivariate Calculus, Fundamental Mechanics for Engineers, Engineering Design, and Engineering Materials and Processes) have vector mathematics or concepts of 3-D space that are germane to the course in some realm or another. And I LOVE IT!
