Meme
I don't often participate in these taggings, but Frau Genau has only just started blogging and it'd be a damn shame to nip her efforts into the bud ;-) She tagged me, and I'll comply. Although you may regret it.
1. Pick up the nearest book of 123 (or more) pages.
Counterknowledge (or how we surrendered to conspiracy theories, quack medicine, bogus science and fake history) by Damian Thompson
2. Open the book to page 123 and find the 5th sentence.

"How can universities and other public institutions get away with promoting counterknowledge so brazenly?"
3. Post the next 3 sentences:
3. Post the next 3 sentences:
"One answer is that in some respects they are still as powerful as ever. The revolution of the 1960s and 1970s may have persuaded them to surrender many of their traditional responsibilities, but it left much of their internal bureaucratic authority intact. Universities, government departments, local education authorities and publicly funded broadcasters are still run along autocratic lines, though that autocracy is disguised."
Told you you'd regret it.
As tradition goes, I now have to tag 3 others... here goes:
Pathological Procrastinator - because she'd thump me if I didn't tag her
Soundscapes - because she probably has some equally weird book nearby
Sanne - because she needs to blog more

5.3.1 The Runge-Kutta Weak Approximation
Weak stochastic Taylor approximations of order greater than unity are well known in numerical analysis (see, e.g., Kloeden and Platen 1992), and can be profitably applied to those situations where weak (rather than strong) convergence is required. Given a stochastic process Y(t) with stochastic differential equation dY(t) = \mu(Y,t)dt + \sigma(Y,t)dz(t) the Taylor scheme of order unity gives the well-known Euler approximation.
MY EYES MY EYES!!! *stumbles away from the screen*. Major Nightmare Graduate School Flashback.
Next time you need an pproximation for your ODE, could you please keep it away from my Meme??
Much appreciated ;)
LOL - almost falling off my chair LOL... Will comply immediately! :)
