The Unapologetic Mathematician

Mathematics for the interested outsider

About this weblog

This is mainly an expository blath, with occasional high-level excursions, humorous observations, rants, and musings. The main-line exposition should be accessible to the “Generally Interested Lay Audience”, as long as you trace the links back towards the basics. Check the sidebar for specific topics (under “Categories”).

I’m in the process of tweaking some aspects of the site to make it easier to refer back to older topics, so try to make the best of it for now.

  1. You asked if I found an OS written in Lisp that I should mention it, sadly it’s not Unix-like but it is interesting nonetheless: FunOS.

  2. I really enjoy reading your site however your formulas are not parsing correctly at the moment.

    its probably a problem with the external way you parse them but just in case you hadn’t noticed yet.

  3. Joel, yeah, I’ve noticed the embedded LaTeX going screwey at a bunch of WordPress sites recently. I hope it’ll pass, but there’s nothing I can really do at the moment.

  4. I found you saying (in another post) that the ETS regraded the SAT and hence a static average in maths score is actually a drop of 50/1000 points - or something like that. Can you please email me some reference so I can understand what you mean by this? I am trying to understand the issue. Thanks.

  5. Some of us are starting up a blog as we enter graduate school, and (as the LaTeX-guy) how you embed LaTeX symbols into your wordpress posts? Is there a reference for how to do this?

    cheers-

  6. felicis, I commend the effort. As for using LaTeX in posts and comments on WordPress-hosted weblogs, the details on that are here.

  7. Ah ha! Thank you very much! It’s easy, and we can even use \LaTeX in comments! Hurray!

    cheers-
