Hey you forgot changing table header from actress to actor. :-)

@faiqrg A Brilliant observation...!!!

[stynium]

OMG. Amazing. This will help me in my work so much. You are a GOD. For the transformations, though, I will have to pull out my out matlab and physics coding skills again (groan)

OMG, are we back to MS DOS era ?!

this is too complicated !

I write one or more python programs for each of my analysis project. Provides much greater flexibility and improves my programming ability with each program. Plus the result is totally reusable and maintainable by another competent Python programmer.

I keep the analysis simple by avoiding creating subroutines and just keep everything in a single long main routine (one such main which I have maintained for 4 years now has 4000 statement).

Probably will not work for everyone by I love it.

This guy is the male GlaDOS.

Great vid! As has been mentioned you forgot to change the actresses in actors in the new table at the end.

Looking forward to seeing this evolve. Might even be a Wolfram Alpha killer....no?

I hope you make the expression variable and logic stuff into something more intuitive with a GUI interface for those with no computer science backgrounds.
