Robert, you are inspiring. Please keep these gems coming. Meanwhile I will eat more pasta tonight...(but gastritis is reducing my allowed wine intake!&nbsp; :-( )<br><br>I better get moving or I will miss my window of opportunity when the strike takes a rest during evening rush hour...I still don't understand how these strikes work. Pardon my comment devoid of mathematics, but we are also living our lives while doing mathematics...</p> The latest comments added to the Blog Entry, Parametrizing a Curve 89544 Fri, 11 Jun 2010 20:10:21 Z Robert Jantzen Robert Jantzen http://www.mapleprimes.com/maplesoftblog/87653-Parametrizing-A-Curve?ref=Feed:MaplePrimes:Parametrizing a Curve:Comments#comment89549 <p>&nbsp;It's certainly nice to be appreciated, and the web master who spotted Bob Jantzen's comment sent it to me with the title "Someone really liked this post!"</p> <p>What the general readership might not know is that Bob Jantzen and I have communicated on a number of occasions over the years. He was one of the first instructors to take syntax-free computing in Maple seriously, and has posted a lot of his research and pedagogy on his web site. I've rummaged there more than once and find that the extent of Bob's interests is bigger than my capacity to keep up.</p> <p>We never got a chance to say "hello" face-to-face, the closest being the time I gave a talk at Drexel University in Philadelphia. Bob took the train down from Villanova and was in the audience. He tells me he tried to introduce himself after the talk, but the commotion around the podium did not subside in time for him to greet me before he had to catch his train back.</p> <p>Bob has been a good colleague, and I really appreciate his positive comments on this article and his support in general. I hope he continues to enjoy his stay in Italy, strike or no strike.</p> <!--break--> <p>RJL Maplesoft</p> The latest comments added to the Blog Entry, Parametrizing a Curve 89549 Fri, 11 Jun 2010 21:35:38 Z rlopez rlopez
