[edit] About me:

My name is Jake and I'm a junior at the University of Iowa. I'm majoring in applying to the interdepartmental studies program for a degree in military history. I came here from Muscatine, Iowa in the east/southeast part of Iowa on the Mississippi.

[edit] My username:

First of all, I do not hunt fox. This name goes back to the game SOCOM II that has a map called Foxhunt. For awhile, I led a clan called "Foxhunt Masters" that was one of the best clans at this map. However, my PS2 broke last year and I didn't play the game for about 6 months, my name got erased, and my clan disbanded. If you want to find me nowadays, look for E~2 Hawkeye (I joined a USAF clan for awhile, but restarted my Foxhunt clan - I didn't want to create a new name and lose my stats though, so I still play under that name, especially since I go to the U of Iowa whose mascot is the Hawkeye).

[edit] Classes I've taken:

Engineering:

  • Engineering problem solving I & II
  • Engineering math II, III & IV (multi-variable calculus, matrix algeba and differential equations respectively)
  • Principles of chemistry
  • Introductory physics I & II
  • Civil & Environmental Engineering (CEE) first-year seminar
  • CEE practice
  • Fundamentals of engineering I & II (statics & electrical circuits)
  • Natural environmental systems
  • Mechanics of deformable bodies (elastostatics)
  • Dynamics
  • Thermodynamics

Other classes:

  • Third-year French (took four years in high school)
  • Into to politics
  • Germany since 1914
  • Speaking and Reading (rhetoric requirement)
  • Issues: 20th century crisis (dealing with the Pacific theatre of world war 2)

Fall 2007 classes:

  • Soil Mechanics
  • Principles of Structural Engineering
  • Fluid Mechanics
  • Probability and Statistics for Engineering and Physics Students
  • 20th Century Crisis: the Nazi Era

[edit] Other things I bring to the table:

  • I have a passion for WWII and have a good general knowledge, but I have an even better knowledge of Third Reich, the Wehrmacht and the Luftwaffe and I continually try to learn more.
  • My knowledge of the Luftwaffe has inspired me to learn more about the United States Air Force (USAF), so I have a good general knowledge of it.
  • I am trying to learn more about military history in general - at this time I do not know enough to significantly contribute to wikipedia in this area, but once I have read more I hope to.
  • Lately I have been watching a lot of The Simpsons episodes and going through Wikipedia to improve the articles about each episode - everything from word-mistakes in quotes to pointing out new cultural references. It may not be a major contribution, but hopefully it will make a good difference.
