hot off the press (just finished teaching)...here are the notes from my part of a 2nd-year course 'engineering-centric machine learning'.... was pretty interesting to develop & teach for me. Goal was to look at intersection of ML and traditional eng. github.com/omaclaren/open-le…

I have done so (with the help of @maplesoft ). The journal is Maple Transactions. The purpose is to publish articles of interest to the community. You do not have to use Maple to publish in the journal. mapletransactions.org/index.… Have a look!

We’re all used to the idea of dimensions: a one-dimensional line, a two-dimensional square, a three-dimensional cube. There are also shapes, called fractals, which have fractional dimension. But how can dimension be a fraction? Find out with us at plus.maths.org/content/how-c….

In this @PhysRevFluids paper we study the linear stability of a viscous liquid layer draining around a horizontal cylinder. When surface tension dominates, pearls form around the cylinder, whereas when gravity dominates, hanging droplets form. doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevFluid…
