Comment Ubuntu, Elmer, not a hand-drawed cartoon... (Score 0) 105

But "Student package" include in ubuntu 9.10, 10.04 version for General physics and C.F.D. It's a python with clean interface, some add Tkinter interface, some add wxWidget or QT4 to run home-made modules, It give you a simple interface, similar to Wolfram-stylish framing where you can add yourself information, comment... even RPC server... I mean, walk through IT classe's to find out goods students looking "final-staging" to design couple of RPC-function from python instance from elmer where you can create a simple server to let student access to information, like modeling, matrix sets and simplify the work... Ubuntu distribution is simple, order the cd by mail, buy an extra usb-stick of coupels of Gb, and format it into ext2 while booting the Ubuntu cd-rom is done whithing hours if you try-it first, secondly add elmer or previous one with code-saturn. You can even look to sf.net trying python wiimote example to draw you example on-drawboards, being reflected on you computer... But Wii-remote not included Python is really easy to do...

Best OSS CFD Package For High School Physics? 105

RobHart writes "I am teaching a 'physics of flight' unit to grade 11 Physics students. Part of the unit will have the students running tests on several aerofoils in a wind tunnel. I also want to expose them to a Computational Fluid Dynamics package which will allow them to contrast experimental results with those produced by the CFD package. There are a number of open source CFDs available (Windows- or Linux-based are both fine), but I don't have much time to evaluate which are the simplest to use in terms of setting up the mesh, initial conditions, etc. — a very important issue as students do not have much time in this unit." Can anyone offer insight about ease of use for programs in this niche?

Comment But not the Goertzel algorithm... (Score 0, Offtopic) 419

Quite stupid, but I'm working on a embedded work of dtmf-signal recognition with a DTMF decoder found on http://johnetherton.com/projects/pys60-dtmf-detector, for Ubuntu, in python. I find this Python module working for Nokia S60... They had python working on theirs cell-phone, quite impressive... Those who know story about the D "button" on a phone-pad to drop all non-important call and let you access to a destination, is a old story starting from March 1942 ... But since Goertzel is a universal algorithm,.. Don't try to find out stupid thing to decode signal, and even if Newton is not embedded in this lovely-iPhone, everything fall on it and not we fall-for...

Hi, for those that have the IQ to work in IT and seemlesly playing poker as Visual Basic/Visual.Net can give hasardous answer too, I can suggest for those guys to look for Clinical test cobaye instead... In some contry like Canada, the last free land, that can offer I wide range of clinical test, as long you've got the time to spend here ! And for other who's working hard and don't want to fall on dependency of the "playing drug", fall aside, by playing chemistry in your kitchen... They've got a lot of "chemical process" to work here too !
