mofh, what dont' you like about Sakurai?
<mofh>
SnoopJeDi: the fact that you often need to understand chapter n+k, k>0, in order to be able to do problems in chapter n
<mofh>
for depressingly many n
<SnoopJeDi>
ah, gotcha
<SnoopJeDi>
My quantum II class "used" it as a text, which means the prof's slides were like half from Sakurai and half his own creation. Problem sets were 100% his though so I never really sampled Sakurai's
<SnoopJeDi>
I found the text very helpful in that class though, mostly because the prof's slides were...bad.
<mofh>
Like the text itsself is okay, it's mostly the problem sets that are, erm, flawed.
<SnoopJeDi>
good to know, thanks

ugh so I actually think I was slightly sick on the Friday/Saturday and that's over but it's resulted in, once again, having a population of neutrophils thinking that my bronchi are a cellular group that needs application of peroxides.
<mofh>
I do hope this dry cough lasts less long than 3 months
<mofh>
(last one was so bad that a coughing spell almost had me faint in the middle of crossing the road b/c I couldn't catch a breath)

mofh: This is uncomfortably close to my recent post-cold sinus problems
<mofh>
it's really annoying b/c all other signs of inflammation are gone! it's just this one sub-population trying to valiantly attack my bronchi in vain like some sort of lost and particularly drunken Roman regiment.

<✔Tesco> @mattyjstock Hi Matthew, I have had a response from my support team. They have advised the date code on the relish… https://t.co/PkPpZIJUjW

I mean that's just the second total lunar eclipse after the vernal equinox, which may or may not lie within the current equinoxial(? - the time from equinox to equinox, as opposed to gregorian/julian calendar)
<B787_300>
mofh: like i understand the simplicity of JD, but that is just confusing for most people
<UmbralRaptor>
That's way too few digits to be JD
<egg|zzz|egg>
yeah that cannot be JD
<egg|zzz|egg>
looks like day-of-year?
<egg|zzz|egg>
yeah that would be consistent with the 20th of May
<egg|zzz|egg>
(JD *would* be fun but that's not it)
<egg|zzz|egg>
mofh: also what are you talking about with your lunar egglipses
<mofh>
egg|zzz|egg: the second blood moon past the vernal equinox
<mofh>
egg|zzz|egg: it's the expiry date on this instant meal
<egg|zzz|egg>
okay but it's not eggspressed that way sadly
<mofh>
I mean yes, but that's also relish
<UmbralRaptor>
That is a vaguely ominous expiration date
<egg|zzz|egg>
mofh: UmbralRaptor: hm, the period corresponding to the argument of latitude is the nodal period, right?
<egg|zzz|egg>
and the one for the mean anomaly is the anomalistic period
<UmbralRaptor>
unsure
<egg|zzz|egg>
what's the period corresponding to the mean longitude
<galois>

<mofh>
egg|zzz|egg: I believe so, but I'm not sure.

mofh: also since principia has elliptic functions & integrals, we could stop solving the Kepler equation by bisection and use that instead :-p
<egg|zzz|egg>
wait, does that work
<egg|zzz|egg>
hm no it's just a series of bessel functions
<egg|zzz|egg>
on J07, from average of times between ascending nodes, I have T☊ = +8.5570(86) × 10^+4 s
<egg|zzz|egg>
from average of times between crossings of a plane orthogonal to the equator, I have T* = +86165.56(30) s
<egg|zzz|egg>
from average of times between periapsides, I have T = +8.643(14) × 10^+4 s
<egg|zzz|egg>
whereas from regressions on the osculating elements (no averaging to soften short-period variations, hence the high uncertainties)
<egg|zzz|egg>
T_u = +8.55786(32) × 10^+4 s
<egg|zzz|egg>
T_l = +86165.760(15) s
<egg|zzz|egg>
T_M = +8.6170(37) × 10^+4 s
<egg|zzz|egg>
on J01,
<egg|zzz|egg>
T☊ = +86140.15(63) s
<egg|zzz|egg>
T* = +86144.81(12) s
<egg|zzz|egg>
T = +86147.24(66) s
<egg|zzz|egg>
and with osculating elements,
<egg|zzz|egg>
T_u = +86140.185(15) s
<egg|zzz|egg>
T_l = +86144.230(11) s
<egg|zzz|egg>
T_M = +86145.83(10) s
<egg|zzz|egg>
as can be expected, the mean longitude is the one that gets the lowest uncertainty on its slope (it should be least affected by short-period variations of the osculating elements)
<egg|zzz|egg>
mofh: I guess I can then use that sidereal period to take a continuous moving average of the equinoctial elements over that period, from which I can compute mean elements at any given time (and precessions etc. as needed)?
