OT: Not exactly good bye but...

[maddog]

looks like I will be starting work on a Ph.D. in Math at Oregon State in the fall. The funding is contingent upon passing the qualifying exams in September. So it looks like I got a summer of some solid studying and my participation here will be reduced. I'll be checking in when I can to catch up with everyone and see what the latest magic the elves at the MM factory are pulling off.

take care all,

Good luck with the post grad work!

My school told me that I cannot start on my PhD because I won't be able to finish it in time given my military schedule.

Congrats Tom!

In your studies have you gotten into goesinto's yet?

 

[Tom F]

My BS is in math, and I'll just say that you're either brilliant or crazy or both for following through the whole way with the PhD. Congrats and good luck all at the same time. Too bad there's no pocket protector smiley.

Out of curiosity, any idea what your thesis will be?

Is that the Jethro Bodine math?

 

[SLUGGO]

Good Luck, Tom!

 

[Big Poppa]

THere is always time for your pals here. GOod Luck and I expect that you will do very well.

 

[timmy5strings]

Go... study hard and spread the word. Good luck!

 

[Bill]

Good luck, Tom!

 

[SquidLizard]

Best of luck, Tom. We ARE going to need to hear from you -- I'm sure I'm not the only one who'll be interested in your course work and progress. A real PhD in the family! Coo-ell! Now go rip on that math stuff!

 

[Psycho Ward]

Is that the Jethro Bodine math?

Yep!, You'all come back now 'hear?

Maddog has been stressed about qualifying exams lately but I think he's handling it well.

Happy Birthday Buddy
Hopefully you will always stay in tune and on time.

 

[roballanson]

Good luck matey....soon you will be Dr Tom....

 

[Fred E.]

Good luck, man...math!! You have no idea how hard I worked through my academic life to avoid it.

 

[Mobay45]

Duuuuuuddddde!

I missed wishing you a Happy Birthday on Friday!

So, a sincere although late Happy Birthday from me!

yeah, how I look in that pick is how I'm feeling right now. A fun night that was tho. Thanks NorM!

Thanks BP and everyone else. Hopefully I can make this happen. No way I'm leaving you guys, just won't be as vocal.

All the best to you, Maddog! We'll miss you around here! Always check in from time to time to let us know what's going on.

Here's a slice of pi for you:

[Beth]

well, it ended up being more of a right triangle slice rather than the desired isoceles slice!

 

[NorM]

I'm no baker but I think I might have fixed your piece of pie.
I thought your idea was clever

Good luck with your endeavour, Tom!
