AXO - 365

Inspired by Flickr's "Project 365" and my friend Kathy, I will attempt to post one picture per day for a year starting August 1st 2007. Sometimes the pictures will be artistic, sometimes they will be things that were important to me on that day and other times they will just be pictures of things I thought were funny. I am sure a lot of poorly shot, poorly composed photos will be taken, but hopefully so will one or two great ones.

#056 Calculations


070925-1, originally uploaded by AXO - 365.

As part of my masters degree, I'm doing my thesis research in the Center for Computing for the Life Sciences at SF State. We have our own lab with lots of whiteboard which is great for working together.

This is my lab partner for Bioinformatics last semester. He's working on some math for his thesis, he was disappointed that he wasn't doing some more impressive math for this photo.

Oh and the thing he's trying to work out is "If you have a mesh with n x n x n set of points aranged in a cube, how many edges are there?"

The answer is 42!


( ok, I think he decided it was 3(n^3)-3(n^2) )
