Title:

A nineteenth century version of light transport.

 

Abstract:

You don't get no respect around the lab if you don't show some unintelligible equations once in a while. Unfortunately, my mathematics education ended in the last century but one, so I only know creepy old equations, not modern new equations fitted out with the latest in subscripts.

So I had this idea that I might be able to figure out how to put a lot of obselete math notation into a file, add some gratuitous subscripts, and project it through the projector. Unfortunately, less important things supervened. Well, maybe next time.
