In November, the list discussed a question that John Mallinckrodt
brought up about the Bernoulli equation not being Galilean invariant.
I followed that up into a short publication in the European Journal
of Physics:
It seems to me that we quite often discuss interesting issues on
PHYS-L. I would like to encourage other members of the list to take
items that strike their fancy and write them up. That has at least 3
useful functions (in addition to any personal satisfaction you may
get from publishing):
1. It summarizes the whole issue compactly. (That's something we
often don't do on PHYS-L, instead tending to just drop a thread when
we tire of it or when it's more or less been exhausted. But a summary
is important to cement together the details of what you learned.)
2. It preserves it in a more accessible manner than searching PHYS-L
archives (useful though those archives certainly are).
3. It brings it to the attention of people who aren't on our list.
