As you may have noticed, it’s been 3 weeks since I last posted an update on my dissertation. I had submitted a draft of the first 50 pages of my dissertation and was waiting for a response. However, if I wait any longer for a response to this draft before proceeding, I am going to jeopardize my timeline. Therefore, I am going to resume work, first by reconciling the disparity between one of my formulas and the results returned by the tensor toolbox, then by performing my own experiments.

I just hope I’m not first told I need to revise everything when I submit the completed work and prepare to defend!

To be honest, I’m not sure how I’m supposed to write 100 pages of methodology on this topic. I’m still not sure I get the point. Our collaborators are supposed to be filling me in on this, but they seem to have disappeared; I haven’t heard from them in over a month.

I’m going to split the rambling that this is leading me down off into another post.
