Soap Bubble Science

Yesterday's lecture on chaos theory was interesting, but today's lecture, which was on the physical properties of soap films, was by far the best lecture this session. The lecture showed how properties of soap bubbles can be used to demonstrate solutions to minimization problems.

The professor also gave the following problem. How can you construct a square of side length a given two points a units apart using only a compass (no straight edge)? I've thought about this for a little, but so far I haven't figured it out. I might work on it a little later.

Today in lab, I finished working on the first draft for our final report. Tomorrow we will finish the report and begin work on our presentation.
