At a glance - how about the current posts in the discussion?btw, pollution economics discussion is interesting even at an elementary level - since it has been cut off over there perhaps you may want to bring it over here.

<t>QuoteOriginally posted by: SashkaLately, I got involved into a lengthy discussion of certain scientific issues related to climate change and global warming (specifically: predictability, assessment of models historical simulation and effect on hurricanes) as well as a bit of mitigation talk.

well yeah but my post sounded better that way ... I think"you learned conditional probabilities in freshman year?" just doesn't have the same ring to it, no?

You may also want to consider the mathematical finance phd at CMU.

In fact, when n = 4, there is enough space to fit one extra ball in the middle - so 17 hyperspheres when n = 4.Is this easier or harder than the hexagonal packing problem?

<t>Bhutes, I guess we're on the same page, except that I'm rather more confident that we'll not be able to come up with any more manipulations than those already mentioned.An objection to the pendulum solution: In order to measure 20 minutes exactly using the pendulum method, the pendulum has to swi...

<t>In defense of the rope-angle analogy, I think it is somewhat more than an analogy. To be more precise, think of it as a homomorphism from the group of rope manipulations to the group of actions on angles using a compass and straightedge. If the homomorphism is injective, then it follows that a tw...

<t>QuoteOriginally posted by: adasUh, the Finance PhD program at Chicago is probably as selective, if not more than the one at Harvard.My opinion is, this is no longer true (may have been the case a few years ago). This is based on recent job market placements - also since I've heard (may be wrong o...

<t>QuoteOriginally posted by: bhutesBut then, the analogy maynot be that strong ... rope-world is not really angle-world.If quatro friend found a solution (even though, hard) ... the analogy will be disproved.

<t>QuoteOriginally posted by: bhutesBut this fact encourages me to think that there exists a solution for 20 minutes.In rope-land 1 hour <--> pi.I disagree. I think, rather, that 1 hour corresponds to an arbitrary angle. Why do you associate the rope with the specific angle pi?Quote You can't trisec...
