Grow-up child prodigy? :-) -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Pierre Abbat Sent: 14 March 2010 05:14 To: U.S. Metric Association Subject: [USMA:46925] core standards feedback
I'm at one of the pages leading up to the feedback form: "Please select the one role that best describes you. O0 K-12 Teacher O1 Postsecondary Faculty/Researcher O2 Parent O3 Student O4 School Administrator/Leader O5 Other (specify)" I'm an other. What should I specify? I don't have any theorems named for me, but I have a sequence (actually a sequence of sequences, the 64-100 sequences, with a conjecture) in the Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, went over the heads of my hydrology classmates by explaining hydrographs in terms of the gamma distribution, figured out how to express powers of e in p-adic numbers while out biking, and made a table of logarithms by hand when I was a kid. Can I call myself a mathematician? Pierre -- Don't buy a French car in Holland. It may be a citroen.
