Any opinions on how Amadeus Pro stacks up against Audacity? http://www.hairersoft.com/pro.html http://www.hairersoft.com/pro.html http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

  Amadeus Lite/Pro seems to be Mac only (so I can't actually try it out right now) and closed source. Its screenshots make it appear to be very minimal. I have no idea what the value proposition is. The "repair" functions it touts appear to comparable to the standard Audacity ones. Sorry to be negative, but if I didn't know it was written by a brilliant scientist, I would have rapidly dismissed it.

  Haven't used Amadeus, but Audacity has been fairly painful. I have had good luck with another free editor Ocen Audio: http://www.ocenaudio.com.br/download http://www.ocenaudio.com.br/download

I hadn't heard of these "Stochastic Partial Differential Equations," but here's a "mini-course" on them: http://www.math.rochester.edu/people/faculty/cmlr/Preprints/Utah-Summer-School.pdf http://www.math.rochester.edu/people/faculty/cmlr/Preprints/... And here's his famous paper "A Theory of Regularity Structures": http://arxiv.org/pdf/1303.5113v4.pdf http://arxiv.org/pdf/1303.5113v4.pdf

I read: the manuscript must have been downloaded into his brain by a more intelligent alien race, and thought, "oh! he must be Austrian." Sure enough, he is. The famous mathemeticians seem to come up with crazy ideas that no one else is thinking about.
