   In lack of classes (I have taken pretty much all the fun stuff already) I have to take Fourier analysis. This shit is haaaard. I'm already behind, this is going to be a challenge.

      @rtsn solve the heat equation for a cubical potato and spherical one, taken from fridge, and placed in a pan of boiling water.

         @kat that pretty much sums up how I feel when dealing with this. but I think I'm slightly better (not hard) at boiling potatoes than analysis ;-)

            @rtsn I think I had that exact same question at school once. It was too practice using different coordinate systems in PDE's

               @kat Hehe good stuff. That stuff get messy very easily imo. I solve it in spherical coordinates a while back. I remember it being hard but very satisfying when I got everything to work out.

         @kat are you doing any fun math these days? still into lambda calc?

            @rtsn I've just been playing at doing projecteuler questions, but using Haskell. Writing haskell feels a lot like doing math.

               @kat Cool! So you know Haskell? Been wanting to learn it for some time but every time I sit down and try I get stuck very fast, not sure where to start exactly. But I love it in theory with the connection to category theory and the curry-somehting(howard?) correspondence!

                  @rtsn Don't really know Haskell, but after doing the lambda's in python, it started to make sense. Just doing some simple things.

                     @rtsn for example... generate an infinite list of fibonacci numbers, by https://quitter.se/notice/19843322

                        @kat looks cool and elegant, I HAVE TO look into this more. I wish the day had more hours...

               @kat got any tips on how to get started?
