Lost Knowledge As Libraries Go Online
Published:
My local library recently ended a pretty big sale; most of its books were sold for about $0.25 each. Many of the books were technical (though introductory level): programming, mathematics, sciences. But there was also a good amount of history and fiction available. I love books and snatched up a bunch, but I did so with a heavy heart at seeing so much knowledge being given up by a place of a learning – particularly when many of the shelves that used to hold books now hold DVDs.

The GPL Is About User Freedom, Not Developers
Published:
Recently, in online communities and forums, and even professional organizations like ACM, I’ve been seeing an argument that the GNU General Public License (GPL) is restrictive, while more liberal licenses like the BSD and MIT licenses are “more free”. A recent column in April 2016’s Communications of the ACM repeated this obviously misunderstood statement with a pretty aggressive attack on the GPL. Read more

Fabrication and Assembly Behavior of Square Microcapsules
Published in Adv. Mater. 2006, 18, 270–274, 2006
Herein we report the use of silicon membranes in the fabrication of micrometer-sized square tubes and capsules. The Si pores of a membrane are modified with a polymer component such that a gap is created along the wall of the channel. Electrochemical deposition within this modified structure creates square metal tubes. The tubes can be released from the membrane, or with further processing, be converted to buoyant microcapsules with interesting assembly properties. Read more

PHYS 1031 - General Physics 1
Undergraduate course
General Physics 1, algebra-based. General physics course for science majors outside of physics and engineering (biology, etc.). Read more
IT304 - Calculus (Mathematics III)
Undergraduate course
Mathematics III, an overview of basic differential and integral calculus. The course was meant mostly for students in the software/programming track, and so focused a little more on applications to computer science, for example, by introducing concepts like “Big-O” notation for algorithms in the context of limits.
