This doesn't require what I would expect from an undergraduate degree in math, let alone a master's. It's not a reasonable option for what the OP is looking for.

You can't earn money if no one is spending it. That seems like an important fact that the author is missing.

Isn't that just domain modeling in UML?

This is a very high-level introduction. If you want a lot more meat, see Boyd & Vandenberghe, which is legitimately free online at http://web.stanford.edu/~boyd/cvxbook/ . It doesn't have any material on

The discussion at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23596225/how-can-quotien... might be relevant. I haven't taken the time to understand it, though, so no guarantees.

It might be climate change. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2014/may/07/climate-... details how high CO2 levels lead to food crops with more sugar and less nutrients. As a result, animals fed t

It's also essential to read the first cited article ( https://www.bmj.com/content/327/7429/1459?ijkey=3b8c1a70a8d2... ) which very much inspired this paper and is also quite a bit funnier.

Samuelson's argument basically comes down to the fact that the investments that maximize growth don't maximize your utility unless your utility is log(wealth), and to him it was completely obvious that people should act to maximiz

I've been looking for something like this to send to some C++ newbies. This is almost what I need but not exactly. Is there something similar that explains how libraries work?

There are some good examples in the responses to the original tweet that aren't in the Google doc.

The issue is that couples want to be placed together. That makes everything trickier than if people just placed independently.

There's no matching process at the beginning of medical school, but there is for assigning med school graduates to residencies. This variant of the problem is NP-hard, so there's no exact solution, but matching still works pretty

That's why as soon as you come up with a list of properties your hay should have, you construct an example of it.

When I was finishing up grad school in 2013, I talked to a few econ grad students about what tools they were using for statistics and computing. It sounded like the people just starting out were generally familiar with and in favor of R, b

It's not the reader's job to fill in implied proofs. It's your job as the author to give them enough information to check your argument. In some cases "this follows from results A, B, C" is sufficient, but it&#x27

This is interesting work, but the claims in section 5 need to be proved.

I think it varies by department and university, but I know that one of the professors in my grad school department had to take on more committee work when she got promoted.

While the Berry paradox isn't strictly speaking mathematically sensible, there are similar ideas that lead to new and less well-known impossibility results. https://arxiv.org/pdf/chao-dyn/9406002.pdf has a t

Is there a table of contents anywhere?

I don't think there's an exact replacement. Strichartz seems like a very readable book, but it's at a very slightly lower level and I think you'd occasionally have to supplement with Rudin.

As one of my grad school professors used to say, the proper way to read a math book is with pencil in hand. If you don't completely understand something, take the time to work it out. Don't settle for good enough, either--dot al

The output of a data scientist's work includes plenty of things that aren't code. Yes, the code that I write tends to be very short, but if it represented everything I had to do to get there it would be quite a bit longer.

Math is different from empirical work. Yes, Shannon's paper is great, but that's not really relevant here because it's in a completely different paradigm.
