https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cox%E2%80 ... er_machine
The algorithm was first published in the 1979 article "Intersection numbers of sections of elliptic surfaces" by Cox and Zucker[2] and was later named the "Cox–Zucker machine" by Charles Schwartz in 1984.[1]

The name is a homophone for an obscenity, and this was a deliberate move by Cox and Zucker, who conceived of the idea of coauthoring a paper as graduate students at Princeton for the express purpose of enabling this joke, a joke they followed through on while professors at Rutgers five years later.
Inspiring motivation :)

Just imagine if they got married. Then they would be the Cox-Zuckers :lol:

I know a guy that went to MIT. He was somehow involved in a balloon popping out of the field during a Yale Harvard football game.

I am pretty sure he would be ROTFLHAO over your cartoon. :D

Analysis and Qualitative Effects of Large Breasts on Aerodynamic Performance and
Wake of a “Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid” Character

ABSTRACT
A computational fluid dynamics methodology is used to study the salient flow features around
the breasts of a human figure and to describe the aerodynamic differences imparted by their
geometric presence. Two models are proposed for examination: a 3-dimensional reference based
on a character design with a significantly buxom figure and a modification of this design where
the breast size is reduced significantly. The two models are tested at speeds ranging from 1 to 30
m⋅s^-1 using Reynolds-averaged Navier Stokes (RANS). Drag, lift, and skin friction forces,
along with turbulence kinetic energy (TKE), are investigated and compared between the different models.

The present results are expected to provide useful information on the validity of the
statement, “Flat is Justice” in terms of an aerodynamic standpoint.

In addition to this, the results
can offer worthwhile data investigating the anthropometrical presence of large breasts on sport
aerodynamics

Oreology. I dabbled in this at one time.

This is outrageous Why hasn't Kamala Harris been awarded a Nobel prize for Physics ?IS it because she is a women or because she is black?
