I’ve been working hard on my differential equation program. Most of the problems (locating poles) resulted from various sorts of Maple bugs I didn’t know were possible. I don’t mean bugs in Maple itself, but rather sorts of things you can do wrong in Maple – and the sorts of… Continue reading
I fixed a couple things – hard debugging. Basic functions OK now, except I suspect more work will be needed on log and arctan. Also locating poles is not working yet. It was debugging it that led to these other bugs, so now I am in a position to attack… Continue reading
I’ve revised my study plan. See my reading. I’ve postponed (at least) the most difficult items. I was finding them too difficult. Logic will be a lower priority. My new years resolution was to try to sleep more. I have been. It seems to take me longer to wake up… Continue reading
I’m back at it. I miss programming. I’ve narrowed down where the problem is in locating singularities.
I’m reading Perter Singer’s Practical Ethics. He makes a strong connection (which I do not accept) between ethics and pleasure vs. suffering. Thus I am (so far) unconvinced by his arguments.
