I rushed mine, to the extent that my supervisor mentioned it to me a few years later... it was a reflection of my state of mind at the time, exhausted and overwhelmed.. if I ever get around to doing another one I'll give it the attention and love it deserves

somewhat of an aside, but really enjoyed the scrolling dynamic on this site

the extensibility of matplotlib is simply incredible to me. I've always found the main limiting factor to be my imagination, once I wrap my head around what I want a plot to look like I know matplotlib will facilitate it. An absolute marvel, and a credit to the devs

exact analytical solutions are nice as a check against any numerical solutions imo. (checking the same calculations in multiple ways is handy for error catching ime)

doing the math is seldom enough ;)

*KE == kinetic energy

kinetic energy: "energy of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion. It is defined as the work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity. Having gained this energy during its acceleration, the body maintains this kinetic energy unless its speed changes."

in normal person terms: the energy of moving, or ~exercise, in a parallel world :)

anonymous messages are sometimes very powerful, measurements that are easy to make are not necessarily the right ones to make

matplotlib. at times it can be tiresome, given the multitude of ways it's possible to do things, but it's always possible

I've only made two submissions. By some odd coincidence both made it to #1, which has scared me off making any further submissions for fear of ruining my perfect score! :D
