(Tim always loved giving the students real life stuff. One of his tutorials included stuff on the Gardner diesel engine we have in the boat, taken from the user manual. They loved it!)Thank you. I do try to get it right: I do have an LL.M.(Edin) in this stuff and used to teach it a bit myself, though it didn't pay very much. Log in to reply |

I'm impressed that you found it; too many people skip the footnotes. The other essays include a reference to a Heinlein novel, to a short story by Christopher Anvil, and to "Yes Minister", all on topic. I also managed to sneak in a nod to Fermat's Last Theorem. Oh, and the Free Beer Foundation. Log in to reply |
