ma helpp i'm sketching album covers during peak exam season againn!

[ace-of-ferraris]

i have to make a MATLAB open ended lab, and my options for methods to use are newton method *numerical differentiation* lagrange interpolation, curvefitting and bisection method. i wanna do something f1 related but idk what to do. pls drop some ideas, everybody.

my first idea was to predict (using extrapolation *lagrangian*) what lap to pit on, based on your driver's laptimes from pratice sessions, and those of the rival driver's.

my second was to predict, in a season with two or three contenders until the last race, at 3/4 of the season, who the champion would be at the final race, using curvefitting and lagrange, and compare the two to the actual results of that given season, and discuss which is more accurate.

i need your help, tumblrinas!!! give me ideas.

JoAnn Morgan

Aerospace engineer JoAnn Morgan was born in 1940 in Huntsville, Alabama. Morgan had a successful 45-year career at NASA. As the instrumentation launch controller for the Apollo 11 mission, she was the only woman in the firing room at the NASA Launch Control Center. Morgan went on to become the first female senior executive at the Kennedy Space Center. She has won four exceptional service medals and two outstanding leadership medals for her work.

Being an aerospace engineering major means that I get to learn about orbital mechanics Gonna go ham on KSP setting up stupid orbits

Thsu is really important and shouldn't be ignored or looked over, these workers have been underpaid and without health insurance for some time now. What's worse is that people will demonize them for the crime of understanding the value of their labor and wanting better, as usual those people view workers from industrial manufacturers to service workers to be invisible or inhuman beings that do stuff for them. If anything I'm lucky Boeing has an awful reputation right which might sound strange but hesr me out, with everything going on with the suspicious deaths and widespread visible safety failures you'd look really bad defending Boeing in this strike given their current reputation, though you'll always have corporate stooges who love the taste of leather in their mouth. Dontate to the strikers if you can and promote the news regarding it, the more eyes and ears the better, don't let this simply fade from the news cycle!!!

Dr. Wernher von Braun and the Saturn 1B launch vehicle - 1964.

[antithetical-logician-the-nerd]

being good with language in the time of ai is so pathetic. like i have one thing going for me, i write technical stuff very well. and i recently had an assignment that i wrote every last word for all by myself, explaining every climate change graph or whatever in my own words. and then my teacher did an ai check on it. and idk if i should say i'm too cool to be human or something, but it said i had 13% ai content.

i felt humiliated and indignant because what do you mean your ai detector thinks that my 1800-ish words on electro aerodynamics and the battery powered vehicles vs. internal combustion engine debate were not my own when i fucked my ulnar-impaction-syndrome-riddled wrist typing each letter and reading and skimming every single research article myself and adding references using non-ai sources and all?

and it hurt more because propulsion and turbomachinery happens to be the subject that i absolutely live and breathe for.

The B-70 project was cancelled a year later. Too much too late.
