On the left, an image which I think David was referring to in class last week. See here for more details (and a short video clip). No one was hurt, Gauss' law (and the "Faraday cage effect") in action! Still, I'm thinking the pilots and control tower must have been a little disconcerted. (Thanks to Erin for sending this)

On the right, in honor of the subject of Chapter 3, the Laplace Equation, we have a portrait of Pierre Simon Laplace. You can get pictures of many mathematicians and scientists at the Dibner Portrait site.


Week 5 (Feb 11-Feb 15):

We are starting Ch.3, in which we will learn methods to solve Laplace's equation (Del^2 V=0).
