Week 2

This week only had one day of class because of Martin Luther King Day. This was also the first day of professors presenting their research to us. Professor Hauck was first and talked to us about the paper we read. the paper we discussed was on his predictions for the MESSENGER flight to Mercury. Derek helped with the paper during the summer between his senior year and graduate school. The paper discussed the large bulk density of Mercury and possible solutions. Monte Carlo simulations were used to find the error in some possible answers. The class ended with Professor Hauck showing us his lab and the computers in it. For next week we are to read Professor Saylor's paper.
