His B.Sc. was awarded for the study of physics and he will soon (read: eventually) attend graduate school in order to obtain a PhD in high-energy physics unless he finds that a career outside of academia suits him. Dacoda edits Knowledge in his somewhat tenuous free time because it's something fun to do and it's a great way to give back to a project that has been such an indispensable source of information over the years.

more hours without a computer ignoring his friends and scribbling. In all reality it's not actually a difficult assignment, Nelson just isn't entirely fluent in the language of the machines yet. Also he likes to quadruple-check his solutions; first without assistance, then with a TI-89 Titanium, then again without assistance, and finally with a probably over-elaborate and highly inelegant
Mathematica notebook.

Nelson maintains a somewhat copious online presence as a result of sitting in front of a computer for long hours at a time trying to figure out how the hell to get
Mathematica to solve the massive problem he's been assigned so that he can double-check it against the solution he came to over several

Recent Edit: After moving back to the West Coast (against his will), Nelson has gotten a lot of new networking hardware and a new ISP which likes to make opening ports to public addresses really difficult, so the server is down. He apologizes to those one or two people who connected over the last
1272:
Thank you so very much to the wonderful people who allowed me to use their equations as well as the people who authored the articles for
Knowledge I've linked to here. Although, in all honesty, the former are all regrettably dead and the latter are very probably at least a little narcissistic.

His second favorite equation is a series of equations called
Maxwell's Equations. Of course, they're actually 4 other people's equations with minor adjustments, but Nelson finds it interesting that the connections hadn't been clear to begin with. It seems that sometimes the

Nevertheless, there are several sites that may or may not be of interest - none owned but all maintained (at unusual intervals) by Dacoda Nelson himself, which would do well in explaining their lack of polish and relevant information.
