All,
I apologize for using this venue for an announcement, but I have had
email issues between myself and Don when trying to get information to
him for a regular announcement.
Tonight at 5:30 at the Complex I will hold a short informational meeting
regarding a graduate certificate offering in
Thus spake Tom Carter circa 10/14/2009 11:30 PM:
These days, most mathematicians are so comfortable with associativity
that they'll go ahead and include that as part of the definition (of,
e.g., a geometric algebra) . . . and then also they won't have a bunch
of theorems that start out, Let
So yesterday I'm reading about solar energy and thinking -- blah, blah, blah
-- of all the known solutions.
Today Slashdot gives me a blurb about synthetic black holes, which I follow
to new scientist and on to http://arxiv.org/abs/0910.2159v1
The abstract:
Traditionally, a black hole is a
Fairly far out there. Here's one I stumbled across yesterday that is way

If it wasn't, you go back and change it. It can be an iterative process
before you get a positive result.

Every time I try that I get *really* confused. Even my lab notes
seem to get all jumbled up and
Folks are complaining about Wiki math. For what it's worth, and only
on subjects that I have some applied knowledge, Wiki's views on math are very
shallow and sometimes actually wrong, and provably so. For the former, I
refer to Bessel Functions (that Jeffries and Jeffries called a long sad
