Return of the Calculus Lost

【洪】ILHONG 2005. 10. 1. 04:39

Honestly...

The whole world [of mine] knows that I am no man of calculus/ analysis...

I honestly screwed up big time during my AP days... although I was a little interested in analysis when I was studying stochastic process and fourier analysis, they used their own approaches although still based on real and comples analysis...

Well, yes, real and complex analysis was way better than calculus...
I don't remember much of my classes [incidents and etc] during the first three caculus...
and they are 5 or 4 years ago...

But the funny thing is that as I do basic calculs again in economic classes,
which i spend the lecture by drawing dragon ball characters when it comes to calculating part...
I am starting to remember everything again...

Sigh... my brain wasn't dead after all...
So, things are working out... I didn't have to review any calculus books...
which might have hurt my pride big time...

To celebrate, I am borrowing differential galois theory...

I am really hoping there is some connection I can extend when I am doing finance for my thesis with differential galois theory... after all, it's a fact that there are connections not only polynomials but differential equations with groups... and of course their solutions...

I know that they'd require me to go into practical area, but it's always possible for me to write another paper... I can aks my friends/ teachers to review it... I am hoping to find a model that I can use for practicality in relation to finance or exchange rate that I can extend to differential galois theory...

I know I sound stupid on some level, but the fact that the models are in differential equations might give me some interesting result... maybe there are articles already on that - hope only a few...
something to do after midterms...

hmm... this sound more fun than the actuarial exam i was thinking about for fun...
the idea of the SOA is really repelling from my ethics... sigh... I could have been rich if I took them like I planned three years ago...
