Better yet, the Viets became communist in name only and actually quite capitalist. Moreover, they don't like the Chinese in the north, their former ally in the war. Wouldn't it be great if Iran becomes our friend and trade partne

Your answer shows why flat surfaces were acceptable for a bomber (with an asterisk) given the constraints. Then, the question becomes why is the B-2 bomber (and latest stealth fighter jets) not angular like F 117. Scientific computing ha

The whole mirror analogy for angular facets breaks down when you realize airplane is a moving object and at some point in its trajectory, one of the facets is likely to be facing the radar (maximum cross section). If I remember from my nume

No, not Rentech. While Rentech is truly marvelous, it has been around for a while. There is a new kid in town, and this kid is very very good. To the point that it drove out other veteran shops out of the same market it traded.

The challenges you mentioned, and techniques to address them, are not unique to quantum physics. I am still not understanding how quantum physics require "new" kind of numerical analysis. And what are these new kinds of techniqu

PDEs are PDEs, regardless of where they come from Newtonian or quantum. Would you care to elaborate why you think quantum requires a new kind of numerical analysis?
