Finals
I've got finals this week and next, so I'm going to be pretty busy studying and won't be doing a lot of software work.
On a math-related note, I'm thinking of buying a copy of Mathematica to help me visualize concepts from the math courses I'm taking. I like the instant gratification of being able to change a few variables and watch the graph of an equation change, it helps me connect behavior with theory and match equations to their effects more accurately. I took a trig refresher course this quarter, and have had to memorize dozens of equations, many of which look quite similar. Having some good graphing and equation solving software will help me a lot with my math comprehension.

Rumor is the new Apple OS will have a super-cool math graphing app included!
