QuoteOriginally posted by: CuchulainnDid you know that Exotic and Jan are great opera singers? Exotic, it was a great rendition, which aria did it come from?Thank you Cuch, I'm flattered! That aria was Leporello's intro to the first act of Don Giovanni, still my favorite Italian opera and still the only one for which I can sing multiple parts in their entirety.

This thread has been dormant for a while.I'm giving a Courant talk on March 2. Anyone interested in coming?

What a pitty that I didn't read this thread before, I would have very gladly attended your seminar Aaron.Are Wilmotters still hanging out in Manhattan ?, I would love to join.Next Thursday I'll attend the Financial Math seminar at NYU.

I can't make it this Thursday, but we should get together soon.

Today I'm attending Darrel Duffie's seminar:Measuring and Pricing Corporate Default Risk: Where are we now?in Broadway st. 55Anyone coming?

cosmologist,QuoteOriginally posted by: cosmologistHi Dr. Cuch ( Dr.Duffy)It was so nice of you to post the slides.We,the lesser mortals of this world, do suffer from financial boundary conditions(restrictions) that prohibit us from reaching for cities like New York. These conditions ,unfortunately, refuses to go away. nevermind the new tightening of visa norms,I can see that there is negligible probability of I ending up sufficiently in the money so that I can land in US of A to participate in the seminar,meet you, Peter,Pat and all the rest( i was wondering about meeting the gentleman from that hedge fund who loves calling CEOs by interesting titles, forgot his name) .May I disturb you later with questions which would require clarification?cheersP.S.- I believe N will be there and he won't bother you to decompose a co-rrelation matrix to show that it is not symmetric.Is it O.K. for me to attend the get-together? This is the first time for me but I sincerely like to acknowledge how real geniuses are and what they are talking about. (My buddies are all idiots.)Tunito, Un Assasin (just kidding you)

How about meeting May 18th after the NYU seminar? I promise an entertaining and instructive talk, all the books signed you want and whatever other fun occurs to people.

However much I improve my posts, the book is fixed. But you don't have to buy it. I will sign stolen copies as well.

Do W's words make sense to you? Honestly? Please get a leader who can at least speak English/American correctly.

I think there was some guy here who wanted to play poker with me, although it might have been FDAXHunter or one of the other MIAs.
