I’m discouraged about philosophy. It seems inevitable than one must make vast simplifications that in the long run leads one to paradoxes. Language is adequate for ordinary purposes, but not philosophy, and in fact, that’s what causes many problems in philosophy. Some problems in philosophy may just be scientific problems… Continue reading
I have started viewing free online physics courses. And plan to do the same for math. Philosophy seems too difficult to explain – VERY tedious. I have opinions about it. I just want something easier.
I seems that I have done what I am capable of in almost everything. I think I am correct in my criticism of opacity (Quine, Stich). But many words (variables and quantifiers etc in logic) do not simply stand for an object. This gets very complex – I think it… Continue reading
I have finished, at least for a while, my work on differential equations. I believe I found an error in Prof. Corliss’ analysis of real poles, which was also used in Prof. Chang’s analysis of complex poles. There is info about this in the notes section of my web page…. Continue reading
Really same programs. – Set of program to solve systems of ordinary differential equations using long Taylor series. Just a ruby program to replace the shell script used in Linux. No change to algorithm. Test result table is at: (from Linux) Test Table The main omnisode page is: main omnisode… Continue reading
My differential equation program is stable. I am probably done with it for a while. I want to do other study now.
There are improvements that could be made, but it functions as well as I know how right now. I will work on other things for a while, while it incubates in the back of my mind. It is at my diffeq program
Much easier than expected.
I have started on this. I realized the types in the generated code are very largely uniform. Main work will be in declarations. Will try to balance with my reading, better than I have done lately.
Wednesday (7/11/2012) I made a new release of omnisode (My differential equation solver using long Taylor series). BTW It does not use the common method of divided differences. Today I got a scary warning going to the download page – because I mistakenly had used https instead of http. I… Continue reading
