Calculator Museums

http://datamath.org/ There are a few wonderful websites online that show the history of calculators. I am very partial to Casio myself, but the Data Math Museum of Calculators has some very interesting history related to the TI series. Also, for those of you who grew up in the United States, one might remember the Little …

Quillbot – A Fast Writing Tool

https://quillbot.com/ Quillbot is a nice free (paid version available) tool to help rephrase or fix grammar issues in writing. Sometimes I encounter tough sentences when preparing papers. A quick copy and paste through Quillbot has helped. I also have referred to some of my students to the site. I do caution that sometimes the meaning …

Acoular

http://www.acoular.org/ My students and myself have had some good luck with the open source and free software package Acoular. We used it to try and visualize the acoustic source distribution within a tornado. It worked fairly well, but of course the technique is dependent on the quality of data used. This is generated by CFD …

Silicon Graphics Tech. Advice

http://www.sgidepot.co.uk/sgi.html This amazing website contains lots of great technical information on SGI. Many of my students have no idea what SGI is, which is unfortunate, but a quick Wikipedia read is just a Google search away. I grew up with some SGI machines, where I remember running some of my first CFD codes on late …

On Teaching Philosophy

You asked me how should I best teach them. Should I teach them from the point of view of the history of science the applications? My theory is that the best way to teach is to have no philosophy. We must be chaotic and confuse them in the sense that you use every possible way …
