Readers Reactions/Feedback
This web site got many reactions during its existence. The vast majority of reactions is positive. Here below are some of these reactions. I specially was happy to receive the reaction from David D. Marshall passive aggressive reaction. His motives are really irrelevant , but they bring very important point of Bar-Meir's analytical solution which changes the way oblique shock is taught or should be taught. In way Marshall is complemented by Andrew Resnick's reaction. The adviser of Bar-Meir, E.R.G. Eckert who also considered as the father of modern heat transfer, was very sadden to get passive aggressive reactions to his revolutionary book (which brought the dimensionless concept to heat transfer teaching). As oppose to Eckert, Bar-Meir find these reactions as inseparable part of a new reception to new idea. The best reaction that Bar-Meir has received is from a Professor who was Bar-Meir's TA (when the professor was a Ph.D. candidate). This professor email to say that he is teaching Bar-Meir's pricing theories from Bar-Meir's book on Die Casting.
As above reactions were not enough, more reactions have to be added with
a twist, only now they use anonymity.
Well, can you blame them? Only behid the veil of anaymity, one can say
the things that they said.
For example, wikipodia user EMBaero (allegeed to be expert
"aerodynamicist"), put states claims about oblique shock
and other things that no reference support it.
The probable reason that he does it is because he treaten by open
content material and it represent.
Like spamers there are people like, Milton Beychok, 1102 Colony Plaza,
Newport Beach, CA 92660, who try to fill the air wave with
nonese to discreat the open content material. Like the
Microsoft FUD
and therefore answer is a must.
Another main point of this project is the “open
content” which somehow some didn't get or agree to.
This concept hasn't had so warming reactions from the older
professors in USA.
While, the books where recommended in countries like India,
Singapore, etc.
It is expected but hopefully will change.
