Preface of Study
Pre-November 8, 2012
Summary of events
- After finishing up the summer SEAP high school internship working on BRL-CAD, I wanted to continue working with BRL-CAD. After finishing up my Calculus 3 course (getting an A!!), the arrangements were made for my Independent Study. My hard drive has been on the fritz ever since this summer. I bought a new hard drive around Halloween and loaded up fedora 17 64-bit, and downloaded all necessary packages to build BRL-CAD and compile code. I completed the array write to file program, with limited problems.

- Finished up calc 3 course with an A
- Downloaded the BRL-CAD package
