I'm done with my BS in Pure Math (well, I've been done for two quarters now, but I'm graduating 12/05) and am going to take a few math grad courses if all goes well. From there I might even try to finish up an MS if I can...
However I've decided that math isn't the right avenue in terms of a...
Math is math. It's not like chemistry or physics where country "X" has a clear cut advantage in facilities... the basics are pretty common. and don't require anything more than text. Some schools may have bias towards certain fields, but for everything undergrad, students can pretty much learn...
Since math can be done (more or less) anywhere, I never understood how college choice mattered...
I suggest tearing through as much math as you can, and hopefully, you'll know what you want to focus on by the time you graduate. Then decide where you want to go based on specific...
One quick observation. The efficiency of this hinges on the aerodynamics of the shell...
if I can design it s.t. the engine runs at say, 1-1.5k rpm @ 55mph, then I don't see a problem with getting 400-600mpg. However, if I need to use 3.4hp @ 55mph the maximum efficiency is 263mpg, and the...
I'm in CA and it'll be for private use. Fortunately I already have a donor motorcycle frame from an old CB650, and insurance is surprisingly cheap, probably because it's a 200cc engine on a trike. I'll need to find out what red tape needs to be cut up, but the biggest hurtles seem to be money...
I'm trying to put together something that can go ~50mph, weighs ~150-175lbs, and gets ~400-500mpg. After poking around a bit, I've seen that a few smaller gas engines like Honda's GX22 used on a road bicycle can result in excellent mileage (~300-350mpg) and speed (~30mph) when set up...
