Sorry, I missed that somehow. Where I worked (now retired) we didn't use what I would consider "mathematics" software. Most simple one-time calculations were often done with Excel (or Lotus 123, before the mid 1990s lol). Complicated analyses (e.g., numerical solution of thermal-hydraulics)...

I would say you should count on learning whatever is used where you end up working. Meanwhile, like @russ_watters said, use what your professors expect you to use.

In 1980 I was living in a house with a couple roommates. One of the guys had a Betamax player, and two tapes. One of which was The Blues Brothers. We must have watched that tape a hundred times. Anyhow, that was my introduction to Steve Cropper and Duck Dunn.

My wife and I got this thing so we would know what day it is, lol.

No, physics bachelor's; nuclear eng masters.

I'm sorry, but I think I took that moonrise photo the day before, i.e., on 12/2. I was in my car, and the framing of the hills was just right, to my eye. Not sure about the time, late afternoon. Per Google maps, close to 39.638. -119.667 Sorry for the confusion EDIT: So I looked at the photo...

crop till you drop?

Ditto but earlier in the afternoon.

Assume a spherical, homogeneous turkey...

I don't think I saw this thread the first time thru. Today I learned what "spatchcock" means. As an aside, I have a friend who grew up working in his family's Chinese restaurant. He uses a cleaver to de-bone an uncooked turkey while keeping it intact. Now that's something to see. He trusses...

You'd better be careful around raccoons, they can be very dangerous - especially if their youngsters are present. Cute is not always gentle. EDIT: spelling

Don't let @sevensages see you writing that
