This week, I went to my violin and taekwondo classes as usual. I also did a recording for my orchestra on Saturday, and I didn’t do black belt training on Saturday because I already got my black belt… Other than that, I tried to make Conway’s Game of Life in Scratch but it failed miserably 😛
I learned about the Laplacian, which is an operator to multivariable functions. It’s defined to be the divergence of the gradient of a multivariable function f. 
I learned about a new Venus mission and how NASA is teaming up with the ESA (European Space Agency). This mission is to analyze Venus’s surface features. 
I wrote about a new Venus mission and how NASA is teaming up with the ESA (European Space Agency). 
I learned about position and how taking the derivative of position results in velocity, and then how taking the derivative of velocity results in acceleration, and so on. 
I made a little movement simulator on Scratch to show how position is different from velocity, how velocity is different from acceleration, and so on. 
I finished WVYB (West Van Youth Band)! And I got a popsicle after the “almost live” concert (it’s going to be on YouTube). 
I started doing some problems on forces. I learned about free body diagrams, net force and acceleration. 
I learned about angled forces, and how you compute the components of this angled force. An angled force is basically any force that is pushing or pulling at an angle. 
I learned about the history of atomic structure, and I learned about the plum pudding model, which is basically an incorrect model of the structure of an atom. 
I watched a video about the Riemann-Zeta function. 
I learned how you can differentiate parametric curves. Basically, you take the partial derivative of the change in the x position and the same in the y position.
