Graduate school

Katharine has submitted her final MRP to the school of graduate studies, and will do her oral defence in just under a week. Should all go well, then she'll have her MA.

This has gotten me thinking about my own future possibilites in graduate school. I have the marks, and just have to maintain my average with the requisite math courses (Calculus, Linear Algebra, Statistic) and my current courses.

I spoke with a professor with whom I'm aquainted, and I must admit that he's piqued my interest in pursuing a M.Sc at Trent.

This means that I'll have to pay higher attention to my studies, since I've (until now) been treating my B.Sc. as a terminating degree.

First day of class

New semester started up yesterday and I captured the telemetry of my drive. Below is a screencap from an internal application used to inspect data drom our onboard electronic recording device (nice name, eh?).

kd-tree creation tutorial

I've started work on the walkthrough mentioned in my previous post. It doesn't touch on topics such as searches of the completed tree, but sticks to the theory behind the creation and balancing of the resulting tree.

The graphic(s) for the walkthrough were created using graphviz. I wrote a small utility module in python that is used by the tutorial to generate the images.

New school semester

Starting a new semester at school next week. Will be at school three days and at work three days, with Sunday off.

Will post more once classes have begun.

Here's a screenshot of some trip data aquired from a test device installed in my car.

I hope to post a demonstration of kd-trees using Python in the not too distant future. It should be fun.
