3.016 Mathematics for Materials Science and Engineers Fall 2011

An MIT undergraduate course covering mathematical techniques necessary for understanding of materials science and engineering topics such as energetics, materials structure and symmetry, materials response to applied fields, mechanics and physics of solids and soft materials. The class uses examples from the materials science and engineering core courses to introduce mathematical concepts and materials-related problem solving skills. Topics include linear algebra and orthonormal basis, eigenvalues and eigenvectors, quadratic forms, tensor operations, symmetry operations, calculus of several variables, introduction to complex analysis, ordinary and partial differential equations, theory of distributions, and fourier analysis and transformations, calculus of variations.

System Stalker Lab

Following our interim review, Brock and I decided to focus on two major aspects of our pop-up Sidewalk Landscape : (1) the construction and deployment of a modular system that would be easily transportable, and can configure into different geometries that integrate themselves into a sidewalk & (2) to visually explore and express the experiential qualities that this geometry may create.

Crowd Simulation

The recent tube strike and a discussion with one of my professors has led me to think about micro and macro systems as a whole, and in turn simulations working within these constraints. First of all, let me say a little about a normal working day and what happens during this time. We have a fully working transport system, a nice sunny day (or mostly grey, in London at least!)
