Not much - too scratchy these days.

TPBM likes to solve physics problems

 

[Shominy]

If they are mathematical in nature, yes.

TPBM has had education in higher mathematics (higher than calculus - the entry into higher).

 

[old_tv_nut]

No, Calc, diffyQ, transforms (LaPlace and Fourier) satisfied the requirements for a four year electronic engineering degree. Later I informally learned the use of multidimensional Fourier transforms for analysis of moving image (e.g., analog television) systems and discrete cosine transforms for digital image coding and Z transforms for digital signal processing.

DNU: @Shominy - Regardng physics problems, I'm having trouble imagining one that isn't mathematical. Any examples in your mind? End DNU

TPBM has had to learn some things not in his/her college classes to boost his/her career skills.

That was my lack of elaboration. Conceptual physics involves non-mathematical problem solving too- I just prefer mathematical solutions. But all said and done, they are conjoined; observation moves to conceptual formng/modeling, then is described with mathematical modeling.

Unless we're thinking about mathematical physics (which preceeds the physical thinking/modeling of the phenomenon).

Yes. We all probably have had to do this.

TPBM is a kinesthetic learner these days.

 

[harman/kardon]

False. MBSR is my daily routine.

TPBM likes the smell of a decent summer rain.

 

[Shominy]

Not really, no; too warm-musty for me.

TPBM prefers powder snow- the kind that is non-cohesive.

 

[Dtdh]

More or less: If it has to be snow, yes. I'd rather not have snow at all.

TPBM grunts involuntarily when getting out of his chair and/or sitting down.

 

[Quadman2]

Not at this point...but considering this in the near future, esp when asked to do a chore by the SO!

TPBM if they had the chance, would walk the entire Eifel Tower just for the exercise.


Q

 

[old_tv_nut]

No way!

TPBM would walk a lot of the Eiffel Tower just to get a good photo.

 

[Dtdh]

Not "just to get a good photo", no, but I would. In my own pace, that is.

TPBM has never left the continent.

 

[Shominy]

False.

TPBM has met Patagonia.

 

[Quadman2]

Only when it comes to clothing.


TPBM has never been in the sky in the way of gliding, but would like to take part this aerial event.

Q

False: I am certified on sailplanes. I wish that I owned a Cirrus tho. Alas, I rent time in them and do not own a sailplane.

TPBM has been in a hot air balloon.

 

[bobsvinyl]

False. I have been with people who are full of hot air.

TPBM has jumped/fallen at least 6 feet without hurting themselves.

 

[Shominy]

False. I have been with people who are full of hot air.

TPBM has jumped/fallen at least 6 feet without hurting themselves.

Easy- yes.

TPBM has walked, hiked, or run at least ten continuous miles.

 

[old_tv_nut]

Possible, years and years ago, on vacation to some national park, but I can't remember; so I'll say probably not.

TPBM is into easy hikes anymore.

 

[Shominy]

I do them, yes.

TPBM has had a venomous snake bite.

 

[old_tv_nut]

Nope.

TPBM has had a pet kill a snake.

 

[Shominy]

Not that I'm aware.

TPBM will someday be President of the US.
