Been there, seen that 50 yrs ago....last 25 yrs, I'll let the computers handle all of the "What If" scenarios for a competent design. Of course, it still takes many yrs of hands on experience to determine if the computer analysis is reasonable. The same is true for the structural projects.

Nothing like a "black box" solution in hydrology and hydraulics to put you up $hits Creek without a paddle.

Good luck....NEW WORLD

Sorry, my post isn't what I'd call fun, but this topic got me thinking about my favorite math book, which was Calculus by Stanley Grossman 1977. I remember, like it was yesterday, reading the preface and smiling just knowing it was going to be a great book/class, and it was.

Paraphrasing Grossman: I tried to include all the algebraic steps required to complete the examples. I remember as a student being infuriated by the statement "it now easily follows that..." when it was not at all easy for me.

I have what I consider to be a good math book joke but it's political so for the good of the forum I'll keep it to myself.

It's not every day you come up with a good math book joke.

I'm still waiting for someone to point out there are no normal people on this board.


This board is on life support.

There is an NFL draft and crickets are making more posts than TPWFT….the people who followed Tom
