Wednesday@Marin: day of visualisation

This morning half of our group had mysteriously disappeared. Or were they hiding in the library?


On the other hand, Ed from Marin unexpectedly showed up in the morning and we had a lot to discuss. As it turned out, yesterday's code encountered some problems (under more severe weather conditions), so we had hit on a nice new problem: what strategic decision to take when the required constraints cannot possibly be met? Another major point was visualisation. Ed was very specific about what he wanted to see, so one of us spent the entire afternoon on implementing Ed's vision. Everybody will be able to see the results on Friday. In the mean time, Lagrange's multiplier method was revived as an alternative to the black-box and houtje-touwtje approaches. Still lots of work to be done tomorrow!
