These days computers play an integral role in every aspect of the experimental process, from the design of the initial experiment, to integrated system control, data analysis, and, eventually, a presentation of the latest results. Along the way, some useful (by)products and information are (hopefully) developed:
- good-looking Acrobat PDFs from LaTex using dvips;
- flexible two-dimensional matrix template class in C++ (Cmatrix);
- useful functions for analyzing two-dimensional turbulence (uses Cmatrix heavily);
- 3D particle tracking 101;
- the Beowulf cluster, a.k.a. `our own little sweat shop'.
