Well I am in Oklahoma....on a project :) Finally managed to fix the pictures. There was a problem with the webserver configurations. Updates killed the server configuration. Fixed now though. Will try to post something substantial this week. Especially on my MultiScale data thresholding research. I have a working code, just need to make some changes to get nicer results.
I added some more articles and information to Technology and Mathematics
categories. My research on Multiscale Data Thresholding is coming along.
I will start putting some intermediate results soon.

I like simple, basic mathematics. I like theories which can be explained with simple tools. I believe that good ideas should be able to be presented in simple ways. If something can only be described in such a way that a few experts can understand it then it means there is still some work needed in that area to convert it to a simpler form. I am planning to talk about things like Prime Numbers, Encryption, Number Theory, Linear Algebra and Differential Equations and methods to solve these problems using numerical techniques. I hope some of these will turn into lecture notes at some point.
Some of the interesting books I read or am reading currently on math and engineering:
The Code Book by Simon Singh If you are interested in the history of encryption and codes this is a great book. Many interesting ideas about how to attack certain type of combinatorial problems without killing yourself with raw complexity.
Prime Obsession The story of Prime Numbers and the famous Riemann Hypothesis (Short description by Wolfram Research) There is also a proof which is not validated yet (Proof of Riemann Hypothesis)

I am mostly interested in Process Control, Model Predictive Control, Adaptive Control and Nonlinear Control. I am planning to put here classic links and basic theory. Some Matlab files and relevant book infos.
Some links:
Statistical Process Control from NASA
What is PID (simple and short)?
Other Interesting Tuning Algorithms
Interactive online education site from McMaster

This is a collection of articles on various mathematical methods used in stock analysis:
- A good starting point for the terms: Evaluation Stocks http://stocks.about.com/od/evaluatingstocks/
- Collection of introductory articles on Stock Picking http://www.investopedia.com/university/stockpicking/
- Golden ratio and Fibonacci Numbers in Stock Market http://goldennumber.net/stocks.htm
- Data Mining Techniques: How to extract useful information from big amount of data: MIT Course on Datamining
This list is going to grow as I find more information. Please add more using the comments.
Chaos, control and controlling chaos are all very interesting topics. This article in NewScientist gives a great example of the use if chaos in control. They designed a robot to be controlled by chaotic functions. It is just a simulation but I believe it is a great start. There is a big gap between computer scientist who develop the algorithms and the people who apply them on real robots or systems. Genetic Algorithms sound very nice on paper, so does simulated annealing, but who wants to wait 5 hours before a single step is calculated. A great read...
Very interesting article on combinatorial Chemistry and drug discovery methods.
Technology Review: Bridging the Genomic Divide
That small molecules have more chance to interact with proteins and that there are only very small number of them identified is amazing. Production of small molecules is much easier and thus many more of them can be tested in a combinatorial way. The article also mentiones that NIH is planning to make the results available to public and acedemia.

Interesting technology...Magnetic Propulsion
I remember that in high school I was thinking about using Bogazici channel (connects Black Sea to Marmara Sea, so it is salty water) and the earths magnetic field to generate electricity. If you calculate between the coasts of the channel there is a mV range difference in potential. If you have very large metal plates you can generate electricity. THe oposite works too : You pump electricity to those plates and with the help of the magnetic field of earth (perpendicular to earth) you can move the water.

I added a new category on Technology. I am going to add links and ideas
about computers, software, technology and science in general to that
category.
