Can't fathom what field it could be. Can you reveal?

To be frank, I barely understand the simple version of the topics even though I took decently high-level math. Four years ago when I could kind of understand the "this is as simple as I can make it" explanations she was doing modelling with Lyapunov exponents, Floquet theory, and something else I can't remember.
As I understand it, it's not so much directly related as tangentially related. Something about predicting unpredictable behaviors in systems. They were looking to apply the model to real-world problems like traffic, flows within huge gatherings, etc.
I'm... honestly not sure how that turned out. I should follow up. We don't really talk work anymore because we're just speaking a foreign language to each other, lol.

If it's an invoice from your chiropractor, just leave it there. If he complains about not getting paid, you can tell him you were just following his instructions.

standardizing the date formats and just keep it as one. The shorter, longer, the too longer all these differences are fine. I'm just talking about the completely opposite types like
MM-DD-YY
DD-MM-YY
YY-MM-DD
This is seriously freaking tiring to handle. All the data sheet exported from system are in MM-DD-YY format, and the customer read them all as DD-MM-YY & feeds into their own internal system.
Yeah I head you saying "This is what localization is supposed to fix". But why? why not we fix this in peoples minds and make them follow a unified type.

Because the 'mercans cannot handle the correct date (or time) formats.

Careful - the euro-standard is just uniformly ass-backwards.
D-M-Y (any number of digits you prefer) sorts totally wrong.
Period.
YYYYMMDD is the only rational format as it can be sorted as is, even as text - but can be stored/sorted as an int. (I leave off proper date objects as they'd sort regardless).
Just the usual Eurogance (the now and forever word for European arrogance).
Time you just get over yourselves. Get some laxatives - clear your thoughts.

The Euro-standard sorts perfectly - if you write from right to left.

I agree the Europeans are arrogant, but us British?

OK OK OK.
Having seen enough Midsomer Murders (&etc.), I can safely say 'pompous', rather than arrogant, would be the description.
