No Teaching: Day 1

by Kamala Diefenthaler on 01/16/12

Exams are graded and final grades are submitted. Next up research. It has been a long time sense I have worked on my research, so today I recapped where I was and what I was doing. 

Over the past year (or more) I have written a few C++ programs. In my mind, they are separate programs with different applications. However, my advisor views them as branches of the same overarching concept. I need write a paper joining the programs together, yet describing their differences. This has been my task since I moved to China. Now I must tackle it. 
I read through what has already been written, reviewed the programs, and made a Skype appointment with my advisor.
When I was distracted today I visited a graduate student blog by AMS (American Mathematics Society) and Terence Tao's webpage. Both of these sites are full of helpful advice, and they refocused me.
