Miscellaneous links
It's a good day for math blogging. Gil Kalai, guest blogging for Terence Tao, explains the weak 
-net conjecture for convex sets (and can I say that I'm very jealous of the impeccable LateX typesetting on wordpress.com). Leo Kontorovich presents an interesting example of the breakdown of discrete intuition from the Steele book on the Cauchy-(Bunyakovsky)-Schwarz inequality. Andy Drucker talks about why convexity arises naturally when thinking about multi-objective optimization.

Suresh,
ReplyDeleteI am an avid reader of your posts. Although I am not a true math guy, I like to follow the links you provide an am fascinated by the research problems in math.
btw, one of your friends - Sunil thomas from Delhi was my senior in the PhD program here at Penn State. That's how I got to your blog.
Keep blogging!
Thanks ! I haven't talked to Sunil for a long time. I need to do something about that !!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the plug, Suresh!

PS It's Kontorovich -- need some way of distinguishing myself from the much more famous namesake!
Yeah I'm jealous of wordpress aswell. It's take too much effort to import pictures into blogspot!
