Three levels of mathematical reasoning
Well, I said I was going to take a one-week break from the internet, but I’m drinking now and that implies blogging, which is a contradiction. QED There are three levels of mathematical reasoning. The first is purely concerned with … Continue reading

Misleading
Very few people share your signature themes (in fact, there are over thirty-three million possible combinations of the top five, so the chances of your [sic] meeting your perfect match are infinitesimal). Now! Discover Your Strengths Time to put that … Continue reading

Picking losers

Logical vs. intuitive or (expressibility)
That’s one way of distinguishing between the logical or (and/or) and xor (either or/er), because xor is much more intuitive to those of us who have to make value judgments on a regular basis. “Do I want X or Y?” … Continue reading

A neat little proof (and a mnemonic)
A geometric series has the form S = a + ar + ar^2 + ar^3…+ ar^n. Here are some examples: 1 + 2 + 4 + 8…1 + 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8…e + e^2 + e^3 + e^4… It’s … Continue reading
