March Mathematics Madness!

Started by Steve @ bripblap · 10 months ago

Today being the first of April I thought I’d run down my “top list” for March. I just finished having a good laugh at finding myself on Google cited as a reference in a very dense technical study on fractal geometry from some years back. Despite working as an a ... Continue reading »

    LOL! You totally had me going until halfway through when I realized what day it is...wait a minute...I think this is the first real post I've read today. Either that, or you're very convincing.

    You lost me at Math. I used to be decent at math. Now I take a shoe off to count to eleven. Oh well.

    I didn't realize I commented so much in March. Must mean you have something interesting to say. Thanks for all of the great content!

    If he really is a hero -
    Did you ever get to meet Nash?
    What did you think of the film w/ Russel Crowe portraying him?
    I think it would be so incredible to meet a personal hero...

    Thanks for the link. "A beautiful mind" was a pretty good movie as I recall.

    @Hunter: Nope, that was real! My April Fool's joke was NOT to publish an April Fool's post...

    @Dawn: Actually, he was. I didn't really realize he was so kooky until I saw the movie. I only knew him from general reputation and from his work, which is quite good. I found game theory to be an amazing thing. I never have met him, although I've been to Princeton several times for business. He's supposedly a recluse, but you're right, meeting him would be cool. I should make a list and try to interview them or something...

    Thanks everyone!

    @ Steve/BrBl - We know he's a recluse only from our perspective ... from his perspective, there's always a party ...

    Ah yes, the Nash Equilibrium; I do remember it, in fact. I did some game theory, but I was mostly into applied math. Another Princeton luminary in that area is John Tukey, I believe professor emeritus now. I heard an apocryphal tale many years ago that in the days before computers, his amazing memory was used to generate each semester's class schedule at Princeton.
