I have been used modelica and modelica-like languages for the past few months, and I have completely been blown away by the experience. I think the solvers are fantastic and produce better results, in terms of speed and…
One could say the same for a plethora of programming languages some research is needed and we don't have to resort to extreme cases. Out of the top of my head: - There is the Python 2.7/3.X situation still going on,…
Higher Education and academia; Apparently, maybe that's more of a local thing, there are no job offerings in industry* for Physics BSc or MSc other than web development or data science, since most R&D Jobs either…
You are absolutely right and I should have been clearer on my first reply. Most of my contact with LabView code was built by people that had no professional training on it. They use it to automate "simple" scientific…
I would add that not only the license is quite expensive, but it has a confusing "syntax" that most often than not results in unmaintanable software.
But there is a shortage of good programmers. By engineering/scientists in my previous comment, I meant every kind of engineer and scientist. From my experience, IT companies only differentiate CS, electric engineers and…
I am not familiar with the situation in in other countries, but here there aren't many job opportunities for recent engineering/science graduates other than IT consultant. I've met people that took a PhD positions just…
To my knowledge, in the Netherlands and Luxembourg there is a similar situation to the one you described in Sweden, Denmark and Norway. In Portugal you get a fellowship that covers tuition and a monthly stipend which…
Not sure about octonions. But quaternions are somewhat used in mechanics, specifically for dealing with rotations. The usage of quaternions is computationally simpler for describing arbitrary rotations in 3d dimensions.
