Actually, after 4 months it'll be okay. There'll be more of project work.
Whatever the situation, time flies so fast!

Re: Series

Hmmm, open source software development and computational mathematics, I guess.
Everything that's science is interesting, need to explore.

I did not know that you were interested in software. You can make a good living in either field.

Re: Series

Yeah, but there are only a few employers for mathematics here, other than teaching. I guess it would remain only as a hobby!

It is a good hobby too. You never really can tell whether or not you will someday be earning a living from your hobbies.

I wrote for 2 computer journals for awhile and then two of the most mathematics intensive jobs possible.

I live in Las Vegas, there are really only 2 jobs here. One is working for the labs here and the other is in gaming.

No, the government owns 87% of the state. There are many secret bases and military installations. The Mafia owned the rest of the state.

Yes, part of it was fun, but math is more fun.

Thanks for the link I am looking at it now.
