Persi relies on collaborators and students for computer stuff. (I talked with him about this after a lecture he gave at Caltech. The lecture was on perfect shuffles, and involved a live demonstration of the technique.)
- TriinT 17y agoI assumed he does, indeed, rely on collaborators for computer stuff. After all, although Diaconis is a former magician, no amount of magic would cause the papers to write themselves. In fact, there were two things I liked about this passage: 1) the fact that he does not use a computer, 2) the fact that he does not know much of Differential Geometry. 1) makes me wonder if I waste too much time online. 2) makes me feel less bad for knowing so little of Differential Geometry ;-)
