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 Ph.D. candidate. This professor to email to say that he is teaching Bar-Meir's theories from this book on Die Casting.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.
