February 16, 2019 math and physics play condensed matter physics, github, latex, Mathematica
Here’s an update of my old Condensed Matter Physics notes.
Along with a link to the notes, are instructions on building the PDF from the latex and the github clone commands required to make a copy of those sources. Mathematica notebooks are also available for some of the calculations and plots.

Here’s an update of my old classical optics notes. Along with a link to the notes, are instructions on building the PDF from the latex and the github clone commands required to make a copy of those sources. Mathematica notebooks are also available for some of the calculations and plots.
Looks like most of the figures were hand drawn, but that was the only practical option, as this class was very visual.
February 14, 2019 Mainframe COBOL, eye wash station
Look what I found for $2 at the public library in the no-longer-circulating discard bin
Can you believe that a book like this wasn’t flying off the shelves and ended up in the for sale box?!
So far I quite like it, as it has a number of examples of bad COBOL style, and what you should do instead. Example:
Ways to make COBOL source code burn your eyes less are much appreciated. The first sample above definitely mandates a trip to the eye wash station.

I’ve posted a refreshed version of my old fluid mechanics course notes (aka Continuum mechanics). Also included are instructions to clone the git repositories, and make the pdf from the latex sources (which would allow customization if desired).

I’ve posted a minor update to my old stat mech notes, plus instructions on how to clone the github repos and the latex, should somebody wish to attempt to fork these notes for their own purposes. Enjoy!
