Make a program and enslave the entire human race into it?


I will be doing that with my students if I become a professor (which seems likely at the moment), making a new generation of math nerds like myself; when you see this incredible special functions stuff, you can't resist... ;7

I guess the Vasudan stereotype of Terrans really does apply to Americans......
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

CP5670:

I'm a maths person.  I did my Maths GCSE two years early (A*), and I have two A-Levels in Maths (both A-grade).  Now I'm going to Bristol Uni to study Computer Science and Maths, and hopefully get a Master's degree at the end...

But I treat maths as a means to and end, not an end in itself.  So I guess that means I'm not a true mathematician.

Maths is useful  to me for writing programs.  Especially games with uber lighting effects.

BTW: Special functions?  Can't remember what they are...  Do you know about Vector Spaces and Tensor Analysis, coz I need some way of calculating Moment of Inertia of an object around an arbitrary axis, given only the MoI around the three major axes X Y Z.
