I ran a few Google searches yesterday in incognito mode in Chrome.
Here is what I got:
God tier
Question 1
Algorithm for Principal Eigenvector of a Real Symmetric 3x3 Matrix
Keywords: principal eigenvector real symmetric matrix
, first link is the quesiton.
Keywords: how to find the principal eigenvector for a symmetric matrix
, first link is the quesiton.
Keywords: how to find the principal eigenvector for a matrix
, MSE question is the second link.
Keywords: how to find principal eigenvector 3x3
, first link is the question.
Keywords: how to find principal eigenvector 2x2
, no link in the first few pages.
Nice tier
Question 2
FeniCS: Visualizing high order elements
Keywords: visualization of high order elements
, scicomp.SE link shows up on the first page.
Keywords: what is high order finite elements like
, high order finite elements plot
, no scicomp.SE link in the first few pages. This may not be the keywords a researcher would choose I'd say.
Keywords: high order finite elements fenics
, first link is scicomp.SE's question.
Question 3
Finite-volume method: can Dirichlet boundary conditions be applied to the integral form?
Question 4
Time stepping in comsol multiphysics
Keywords: comsol multiphysics time
, first link is the question.
Keywords: comsol multiphysics time-dependent problems
, question link in page 3.
Keywords: comsol multiphysics time discretization
, question link in page 1.
Some idea: the more detailed the keywords is, the more chances are scicomp link is in the first page, even the keywords are kinda generic. Overall I would say the questions in the self-evaluation are nice.
Detailed, more goal-oriented question in scicomp.SE will more likely show in the first page. Even a question with 16 answers can not be found in the first few pages using a relevant keyword.
My 2 cents: Dissect big problem into small detailed, descriptive questions. Avoid soft question and big list.
We should definitely do more of this each quarter!!!!!!!!!
