(The rest is on the Google group sjsumath203...)
(2/26) I just posted my notes
from the February 20 meeting with Dr. Scargle.
(2/20) I just posted a well-written article from the American Mathematical
Monthly which nicely explains the basics of the Feynman path
integral
(2/12) I just corrected and expanded my January 30 notes. Dr. Scargle emailed me a list
of questions for further work which I incorporated into the notes.
(2/6, part 2) Our next meeting is on Monday, February 11,
at 2, in MH 331B. If you have any problems adding Math 203, please
call CMS Help Desk at 4-1530.
(2/6) Here are my notes from
the January 30 meeting with Jeff Scargle. Here's a link to the
Wikipedia article on causal sets. And here's a link to Joe Henson's
review article on
causal sets.
(2/5) We will be meeting tomorrow (Wednesday) in 331B at
1:30. My office hours tomorrow will be from 10 to 11:30 and from 3 to
4.
(2/3) Welcome to the CAMCOS Spring 2008 class web
site. This semester we'll be working on a physics problem proposed by
Dr. Jeffrey Scargle from NASA-Ames. The problem is related to one
particular theory of quantum gravity (a theory-to-be that's supposed
to unify quantum mechanics - the theory of the very small - and
gravitation), but can be understood without knowing too much physics
and, at least for now, requires only some familiarity with partially
ordered sets. I will post a more detailed description of the problem
here soon.
Our first meeting was on Wednesday, January 30, but don't worry
if you missed it. I'm stil waiting to hear from students about their
availability before we decide on a parmanent meeting time. However,
it is most definitely going to be on Mondays and Wednesdays. This
coming week we will most likely not meet on Monday, but we will have
a meeting on Wednesday (2/6) at a time yet to be announced.
If you are interested in joining the team, please email me as
soon as possible.
