Of the Divergence Theorem

I am minutes removed from submitting my final assignment of the semester. It's a good feeling, and now I can dedicate all my time and effort to a some projects and a couple finals. Unlike most semesters where I have a final in every single one of my classes, I don't have the stress of remembering formulas, theorems, and dates looming over my head. Instead I get to take my time making sure I'm satisfied with a project. It's a new thing for me (and likely won't happen in future semesters), but I'm enjoying it.

On this reading day, I'd like to take this blog post to write a few random thoughts I have:

  • I enjoyed today's calc 3 homework on the Divergence Theorem much more than yesterday's on
    Stokes' Theorem. I'm more comfortable working with triple integrals for volumes than I am with flux integrals and oriented surfaces
  • I have never been as excited about R programming as I have been the last few days when I've had hours to really dive into this volleyball project and learn a lot more about R's little tricks
  • A quote I must agree with by my brother is, "Sometimes after a long day, seeing a few people get punched in the head is exactly what you want to see." 
  • Falling asleep to a thunderstorm is one of the most relaxing things of all time
  • Steph Curry is still Steph Curry but the Warriors' bench is garbage
  • Nothing beats a classic Bic 0.7 mechanical pencil
  • Actually a good TA who is willing to help and knows the subject matter incredibly well beats the mechanical pencil. Shoutout to Adam Ott and Jacob Miller this semester for being those clutch TAs
It's been a fun exercise maintaining this weekly blog and entertaining all my readers (aka myself) by taking whatever is floating around in my head and slapping it down into actual words on a screen. I'd love to say I'll keep this blog up after the semester, but honestly it's probably very unlikely that actually happens. 

Signing out for the last time,
