I don't really care. |

A geodesic can mean either:
(a) a point whence curve Q fulfills |Q'| = c, c is nonzero positive. (b) more commonly, a curve which has property (a) for all points. For surfaces, we can also state a geodesic curve as one with acceleration perpendicular to the surface at every point, ie, linearly dependent on the unit normal vector. So a proof that isometries are geodesic-preserving then. Let's assume a geodesic curve E in surface M, and an isometry f from M to N, which maps E to fE. Then it follows that at every point on E, the tangent vector is defined and constant. For brevity, I'm defining T = E', fT = fE'. And T should read T(p), or "T at point p", but again, brevity. |T| = c^2 (The square is just for convenience) T.T = c D(T.T) = D(c), the Ds are exterior differentiation 2(T'.T) = 0, ie, E'' . E' = 0 In plain English, the acceleration vector is perpendicular to the tangent vector, which lies in the tangent space of M (at point p, obviously). And if we apply the isometry f, then fT'.fT = 0, fT.fT = d, ie, |fT| = d^2. fE is a geodesic. QED. |

Posted by blackhole89 Yeah, I sort of felt like this in HS. First two years were pretty annoying, third was fun, but last year was awesome. Especially physics. I had Japanese all four years though. |

Not really, at public universities you can shave off most general requirements, and take whatever courses or graduate in two years or so; at private universities, you'd probably have most interesting classes anyways.
Another note, although partially a byproduct of my interests, specific classes without buzzwords in their title, eg general equilibrium theory, generally seem to be interesting, although the low requirements imply deadbeats who need credit to graduate and other such people might be taking the course. My safe suggestion is to check out the textbooks and professor as well. |

I have I am ecstatic about the extreme efficacy of BibTeX. However, life is dismal and the future is bleak, the present agonizing. |

Posted by blackhole89 I have the stomach flu and wonder what the inversion of a stomach looks like. |

This seems like a good thing, i.e. efficient decomposition of electronics without the hazard and expense of expensive disposal. |

This is another reason to go from liquid cooling to a full-blown moat, incidentally. |
