		<description><![CDATA[An article relayed by the ASEE highlights something researchers have known for years &#8211; the boundaries between fields are coming down: MIT Promotes Convergence as Model for 21st Century Research At first I thought this might imply that people with interdisciplinary knowledge, like me :-), will be necessary to facilitate the teaming of super-specialists.  That [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A basic but interesting fact: At the point on a dispersion diagram, where and , the usual phase velocity is undefined; that is, . So, what do we do when this occurs? We use L&#8217;Hospital&#8217;s rule. This yields . So, in the large wavelength (low momentum) and low frequency (large (rest) mass) limit, the phase [...]]]></description>
