...I just finished Point Number One on my list. A PDF of three elementary heat transfer problems solved exactly, plus a long digression on root-finding algorithms that I wasn't actually qualified to write.

Dying now, kthxbai. *whump*

(P.S. I'm actually kinda proud of those five plots - the heat conduction equation turns out to be amenable to Fourier analysis, so I wrote some MATLAB code to calculate the first 200 frequencies and coefficients so I could determine the solution for any time t > 0.01 'seconds'.)

(P.P.S. Somehow I'm thinking I spent more than 20 hours this week on the class....)
