Woke up at 10:00 am again today, 4:30 trick didn't quite fool my circadian rhythym I suppose. worked on web dev a bit this morning, and also on trying to fix this weird issue I have where a bunch of u's appear in the file my matlab script generates after I load it into python (possibly windows appending extra new line characters). Fixing that is my task for the day though I'm not sure I'll accomplish it (right now I'm trying to get the script running on maverick so I can test from my dorm since I don't feel like going to the cubicle/workspace).
Also got 4 new books checked out from the library. One on complex analysis, one on stochastic processes (introduction to stochastic modeling), one overviewing the great mathematical results of antiquity (journey through genius) and one on changing/developing "settings/environment" to positively influence childhood development (Toward Positive Youth Development, Shinn and Yoshikawa). Fun stuff. Definitely enough to keep me occupied next week at the xsede conference. The complex analysis book already proved interesting at the very beginning by showing that you could derive i from the rules behind a coordinate system which allows you to find the product of coordinates(EDIT, this is actually slightly wrong, but is kind of similar to what they did do which is define the coordinate system's rules and then "reveal" i ( in particular they defined the product of two coordinates in a special way)). Which now that I think about it, is a kind of weird feature for a coordinate system. maybe euler's formula will start making sense to me.
