Today, I found my sixth CME (August 15, 2010) so that I
could get my first three “n” values. Fortunately,
all the values are very close to each other!
After finishing off the calculations for the August 15 CME, I was asked,
by Dr. Dube, to create a spreadsheet that organized all the data neatly. The spreadsheet took me a while just because
I had to calculate the time the CME took to travel in days, hours, and seconds,
and halfway through the process I realized that I had done the conversions completely
wrong. Dr. Dube also told me about
eureqa, a program that can make a generalized formula for a set of data. I downloaded it on my computer, but I still
need to play around with it to understand how it works. I am glad that I have at least calculated
three “n” values, but it just seems like there is always so much work to be
done. I guess I have to just keep
pressing forward and get as much done as possible!
