My mathematics blog, and meant for mathematical and academic rants.

i should have known the odds.
If i were a student now, do it all over again, i'd probably study prοbability. it's a useful subject; it would even be useful to me now, as it comes up
prοbability would be useful, if i were to leave academia. despite a good or bad economy, rich people will always seek to be richer, and hire those who can do so for them.

Out of interest, is there any way you could elaborate on the nonlinear PDE/stochastic games link?
I'd be interested to learn more. Are there any vaguely readable introductions to this idea that you know of?
i was actually referring to the following papers. the preprints should still be available on the arχiv.

i don't have in mind any readable intro's yet -- it's mostly my colleagues study this interaction, not me. the next time i see them, i'll ask.
