@rothwellaudio,
Thank you for your comments. I understand and disagree, and yes, I am quite aware of the fact
that I'll never master some of these models and modeling in my lifetime, however that isn't the issue.
Your statement..."personally I think it's a bit disrespectful"...
You are free to personally think what ever you might. It has nothing
to do with reality. While I appreciate most people here because the
collective intelligence of the members and their assistance.
However that doesn't negate the fact that some members
might be better off in the flat-earth society.
AND
Just because I can't, does not mean I cannot inquire does it? Of course not.
This is why I've appreciated all that Wyn has done, not only to give some insight,
but was firm at time when I asked for help, he refused and essentially had me do
the work myself. He assisted with a process in which I derived the answer.
ADDITIONALLY
You are not alone in your belief that because people ask questions and would like
to know answers that they are labeled "difficult" "not a team player" "disrespectful" etc.
Sure I might be trying to run before I can walk, just as we all did as infants, none of us
could stand or walk...it didn't prevent us from trying though did it?
I've succeeded to function at a high level despite attempts to prevent it. At 14 I was selected
by a well known skipper to join his crew for a California Yacht Club Match Race Series.
I was also the only freshman in my high school to earn a varsity letter at 4'4" and 59 lbs.
I also wrestled, surfed, sailed, acted, did technical theatre, track (ran 2 mile) played Lacrosse,
earned leads and best supporting roles in plays Jr. High, High, and College. I was selected to represent
my school in the Key Club (Kiwanis Jr. organization) at the State/National Student Conferences.
After secondary school I joined the Marine Corps, finished 1st in my Boot Camp class, held the range
record at the Machine Gun course, selected for Officers Candidate School where I was the Honor Graduate.
I continued this achievement level throughout college too, Elected by my peers to Command our Fish Drill
Team and Finished 1st in the State of Texas, and placed 3rd Nationally. Also a member of the 2 time National Championship NROTC-PFT team as well as raced in Olympic qualifying events, State and National Championships in Lightnings and Solings. I earned reconition as a pianist/composer as well as received a University
Achievement Award for my work as music director booking our fountain and lounge shows.
When I was teaching, it is important for students to do the assignments, especially those
of student athletes. Imagine my surprise when the administration called me down to their
office and said they changed the grades earned and which I submitted of student athletes
and told me it was for my longevity in the district (that they changed their grades.)
Then they pulled me along until mid year and said they weren't going to certify my teaching.
I wasn't going to have any of these
and I fought the corrupt $1.2 billion dollar district and won. They said that "if we can't get
rid of him then send him over and have him teach ISS (In School Suspension)." They did,
and sent me to the worst, the poorist, highest at risk middle school in the district. I ended
up running their 6th grade program, which for teachers is the most difficult grade to teach.
and I did; the kids ended up really appreciating me. I had some go on to AP Math their
freshman year in high school. Despite their attempts to ruin my career, I have three different
teaching credentials ranging from Career Technical Education (7-12) Business Education (6-12)
and Special Education (EC-12).
When given lemons, I persevered, I made lemonade.
In my current educational endeavors, I'm working on a few associates degrees, Electrical Engineering Technology
and Electrical Engineering manufacturing Technologies, six hours separates the degrees. I would have a 4.0 save for a few shitty profs who don't think their students should do better then they did.
All this with only a few years to go before retirement.
@Wyn,
I'm trying to figure out what I need to do with the turn table to get it ready.
Maybe I assumed that you might help with that as in the AD797 Help desk thread
it seemed there was a lot if data that people weren't considering.
If I was incorrect, then I'll stand corrected.
Of course, I know that you are very familiar with Laplace and other functions and modeling,
I was just trying to get a better handle on it all by asking my professors.
