For the sake of avid cruciverbalists amongst us, each week I create a new crossword puzzle that has
a theme related to engineering, mathematics, chemistry, physics, and other technical words. You will
never be asked the name of a movie star unless he/she was involved in a technical endeavor (e.g., Hedy Lamarr). Enjoy!
