Burgers & Brew, K-theory, A-polynomial and Random Thoughts

Today we went to Burgers & Brew for lunch. Burgers & Brew is a very famous burgers restaurant in Davis. This is by far the greatest burgers I’ve never tried before. The beef inside tastes great! Far more better than the burgers in KFC or McDonald! I felt I had been too full after eating the hamburger! And it’s only $7 or so. more [caption id=“attachment_427” align=“aligncenter” width=“500”] Hamburger (@Burgers & Brew)[/caption]...

Blender Project (II)

I’m learning to make a coffee cup by using Blender. more Before we start, there is an annoying little thing for beginners: Starting a new file/scene in Blender. Blender seems to load the latest scene back, which is annoying. So I just use File > Load Factory Settings to load the default scene (with single box object in the scene) back. Then unfortunately all your customized setting will be gone. So you need to customize again, and choose File > Save User Settings....

Calculate PDOs using AXIOM / FriCAS

For years, the computation of Lax equations is a tedious and time-consuming task. For example, KdV equation has the following type of Lax equation: ```mathjax L_t = [A, L], ``` where ```mathjax L=\partial^2+u(x,t)```, (A=\partial^3+4u(x,t)\partial+2u_x). Having been a graduate student majoring in integrable systems for years, I always had to work on such kind of computations. It was frustrating. At that time, I was thinking of a way to speed up the computation with the power of computers....
