welcome to PF :smile:
 
thanks. I haven't been on this site much but I like it a lot already
 
What is your question?
 
right now I am studing vortices. I understand how they form, but I don't really understand why and if it is an advantage or a disadvantage in a racing sencse
 
What mathematics software should engineering students use? Is it correct that much of the engineering industry relies on MATLAB, making it the tool many graduates will encounter in professional settings? How does SageMath compare? It is a free package that supports both numerical and symbolic computation and can be installed on various platforms. Could it become more widely used because it is freely available? I am an academic who has taught engineering mathematics, and taught the...
