Hi everyone,

I am placing the ppt on this new forum. I'll keep editing the attachment as I make the slides. Looking forward to your feedback...

Bruce, can you move all the replies and feedback from the RS2 forum to this place?

Cheers,
Gopi

Well Gopi, you impressed the heck out of me. Fantastic start!

OK, I moved it over. Just remember that email users do not see this forum, only web users do.

Couple comments:

Slide 9: "Motion occurs in a series of jumps". Motion always appears to be smooth and continuous, like the chain being dragged by a point on the ground. But if the chain were to stop, it would always stop at the connection between two links (unit boundary).

Slide 30: Nehru identified the cosmic sector as the conjugate of the material, not the inverse. I don't know what mathematical symbol is used to represent this, but it should be differentiated from the inverse.

Are you going to write up some commentary to go with the slides?

Actually, in the slides, this comment has a red 'cross' mark put next to it. I used the green tick marks to show what the corollary DOES mean, and the red cross marks to show what they DON'T, as I felt that the quantization corollary is misunderstood very easily.

Yes, I get what you mean. However I don't know how to replace the variables used either...

You are right, this does need a commentary to go along with it. Phillip's ideas can also be utilized there. I'll do that after finishing round 2!

Cheers,
Gopi

Ah, I see. Might want to change that or add headings, as the X is very common on Windows as the "close" gadget, and the old Pirate saying, "X marks the spot." Maybe the slashed circle, which is the international symbol for "No".

Hi Gopi,

Thanks for getting something down that we can talk about. Unfortunately, it's been 40 years since I thought about matrices, transforms, etc. And, I thought I was up-to-speed learning about Euclidian geometry; projective geometry will take some time for me to catch up.

Please insert page numbers so that we have a common, referenced presentation to discuss: in the Main menu, Insert/Slide Number/Slide/Slide Number/Apply to All.

Also, a revision letter will help in the process, e.g., RS2_revA.ppt

Thanks,

Eccles

Done that now.

I didn't understand this. Is it just a renaming of the file [which I have done now] or does it mean something else? Do you mean to say something like labelling it: draft A, draft B etc?

Cheers,
Gopi

Hi Gopi,

It's just renaming the file and archiving the older one in a folder for reference on your own hard disk. Imagine four months from now when you're in your 10th revision and you remember a slide in RevA that you want to retrieve.

Don't mind me; it's just my Judging-type personality trying to over-structure a process. I just have a different working style than you do, that's all...more to follow when we discuss MBTI personality types.

Just disregard my suggestion.

That is a really good idea. Can't tell you how many times I've wanted to grab something from an earlier version of a program or presentation, particularly if I accidentally deleted something then saved it and didn't realize it until later on.

As they say, "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."

Note, the presentation now has some notes too... more to come.
