meanfreepathThe Shakespeare paper is at least drafted. That is good.
Tomorrow morning: revise paper.
Scramble to finish as much of 111 problem set as possible; there are a couple I'm pretty close to getting. I'm really glad I got the Marion and Heald e/m book out over break for working on antenna stuff; they had a good section on Bessel functions and Laplace's equation in electrostatics. That, I think, helped make my working out of the Bessel function problem much less painful than it has been for other people. There is one problem with reflection/transmission coefficients of a wave incident on a length of string of higher density which is just going to be awfully tedious algebra. There's another one on dispersion relations and Gaussian wavepackets that I'm pretty close to finishing, too. So hopefully things *might* be manageable.
Alas I will be missing the rehearsal tomorrow night because of seminar. It's going to take a miracle for Saturday's concert to go off well. I'm not the only chorus person unable to make it tomorrow night, and they definitely didn't have the whole orchestra there tonight. So Saturday night may be the first time we get all the soloists, the entire chorus, and the entire orchestra playing together at the same time.
As long as people don't walk out shouting at us, "O Freunde, nicht diese Tone!"
