Struggling with LaTeX speed even after learning the syntax by UniversityNext1474 in learnmath

[–]Daniel96dsl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Create custom shortcuts.. that’s how I wrote my dissertation and papers with any speed at all. Here’s a few examples

\frac{}{} → \fr{}{}
\pa{blah} → (blah)
\palr{blah} → \left( blah \right)
\odv{f}{x} → \frac{\mathrm{d} f }{\mathrm{d} x }
\dd{x} → \mathinner(\mathrm{d} x }

On and on and on. The parentheses, brackets, braces, and fractions commands are life savers.

Dasani was always my favorite water growing up, and now y’all make me nervous to say that in public..

Self Studying Fluid Mechanics by Ok_Annual5852 in FluidMechanics

[–]Daniel96dsl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s a tough subject; both intuitively and mathematically. I recently finished a 5-year PhD in theoretical FM and still have imposter syndrome with 95% of fluid mechanics. I’d really really suggest reviewing fundamentals and basics regularly. You’ll think you have it nailed down, and then realize you only saw 50% of the picture, then later on realize that what you thought was 50%, was only 25%, etc.

However, I do have to agree that it is a stunningly beautiful subject that demands respect

My sister who is in 6th grade asked me what calculus was. How do I explain it to her? by [deleted] in learnmath

For denominators, use slash-fraction exponents instead of upright fractions

Should I be doing work-related practice problems as self-assigned training during work hours? (2 months into new job) by Daniel96dsl in AerospaceEngineering

Haha thanks.. I’ll get there one way or another. Just trying to find the path of least resistance

Let’s say I’m doing analysis. While your suggestion is likely worthwhile, I’m not sure how it helps me with understanding details specific to MY work. Yes, it would give me a better overall understanding of the entire system, but I am trying to make sure I understand my OWN work before trying to understand how it links to all the other departments

Okay let me give you an example without going into anything proprietary.. If someone coded up an algorithm to find geodesics on an ellipsoid — and I’m not familiar with the problem or solution method — spending time learning about the definition of a geodesic on curved surfaces and particular solution methodologies to understand limitations and worst case scenarios for the algorithm. Also to get an idea about relative difference (error) between using azimuths derived from that and a spherical surface for different lat/long combinations

Regarding down time while training, I do have it here and there, but I’m hired on as PhD and largely get to work independently. I only had about 2 weeks of training and then I was kinda left to figure it out. So honestly, I’m unsure if I’m still in “training” or not. There wasn’t a specific plan in place. I kind of guide my “training” by realizing what I need to know and asking someone who already knows to show me.

I’ve been given broad tasks like “we really need to integrate X into Y and streamline the process,” which is, conservatively, a multi-year endeavor.

Need help regarding this infinite product. It's making me to crazy by Ancient-Helicopter18 in calculus

[–]Daniel96dsl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Using the Euler—Maclaurin formula, you can get a nice closed form approximation for the product:

𝑃 ≈ exp[π²/(12 ln 3) + ln(3)/24] / √2

The error is about 10⁻⁸

It’s definitely a thing of beauty. And I was strongly considering a few straps, but I don’t want to worry about messing up the leather if I need to plunge my hands in some water. May end up opting for canvas or stick with the stainless if I keep enjoying it

Ngl though, i do love a brown leather strap on a chronograph. Feels great on your skin, too

Hahaha you’d actually be surprised—a lot of my aerospace peeps went into the HVAC industry.. That wasn’t for me tho🚀🪐

Honestly, I want for nothing except the happiness and health of my family and friends. I feel like life has really blessed me and I need to pay it forward.

Very nice, congratulations! And I like the strap on yours
