Does Math Really Exist?
2012-01-21 13:43:00 From Forbes - Tech: In the midst of a rather interesting discussion of the notion of Aristotle's Unmoved Mover, Leah Libresco went on a mild digression about the philosophy of mathematics that I couldn't let go of, and feel compelled to respond to. Read the whole article

Chaos Math, Implicate Order, and Driving Lessons
2011-10-23 07:40:00 Cait is of the age where it's time for me to teach her how to drive. For as exhilarating as she finds her lessons, that's how nerve-racking I find them. So when we get in the car for another lesson, I take comfort in the way she falls back into our usual "long drives" routine. She starts with her customary opening line, "So what should we talk about, Mom?" As Cait has a tendency to drive a little too close to the shoulder of the road, I say, "We should talk about how you should stop listing to the right and stay in the center of your lane!" Cait makes the correction and says, "So Mom, me and my friends were talking about what would happen if someone really developed a time machine and went back in time." "What do you think would happen?" I ask, not unhappy for a diversion to help keep my heart out of my throat and in my chest. "I think it would be a disaster," Cait says. "It would change history and mess everything up." "Yes, that's one train of thought," I say. On the l...

The new math for North Shore new construction
2011-01-17 16:57:00 During most of 2006 I actively tracked the status of every new construction home on Chicago's North Shore. In May of 2006 developer Cypress Group was offering 1328 Elmwood Ave in East Wilmette for $2,100,00, and that was toward the low end of the new construction price range in that part of town. The site had been purchased as a teardown a year earlier for $735,000, and the developer seemed to be following the "rule of thirds" that then drove acquisition and pricing decisions. Site cost would be a third of the selling price, hard costs for the new home another third, and the final third would be profit less soft costs. For a while developers were making healthy...

Buying Your First Rental? Be Sure To Do The Right Math!
2010-10-28 14:23:00 I was recently speaking with a new investor (let’s call her Maya for simplicity) who is looking into acquiring single family homes as rental properties. The conversation we had about her expected net positive cashflow on a particular property reminded me that it’s so important to understand the basic mathematics for real estate to ensure that you know what you’re getting yourself into.Maya forgot (or was simply unaware of) several of the basics when calculating expected cashflow on her single family home investments. This could have led to a less than desirable scenario for sure — it could have been the difference between having a positive cashflow or a negative cashflow.In case there are others like her who are thinking about getting into their first rental and trying to determine cash flow, I thought I would share the things that she did NOT account for because these are likely easy items to forget.Property ManagementMaya did not intend to hire a property...

Melissa Bean's Washington Math Doesn't Add Up for 8th District Fa
2010-04-15 01:40:00 From the Walsh for Congress campaign (8th District)... (Grayslake, IL)-- Incumbent Rep. Melissa Bean is fond of calling herself a "fiscal conservative." If only it were true. According to a new study by the nonpartisan Heritage Foundation, thanks to big spenders in Congress, the federal government will spend $31,406 per household in 2010 - the highest level in American history (adjusted for inflation). In fact, government spending has increased by $5,000 per household (or nearly 25%) since 2008 alone. And Rep. Bean has been there every step of the way voting to spend money we simply don't have to: bail out politically-connected businesses; protect full employment for the public sector unions; and expand entitlements. This is half of the...
Obama and other math idiots
2010-03-19 14:56:00 Chicago-based Exelon Corp., the nation's biggest nuclear power producer, warns that it will have to shut a nuclear power plant in New Jersey if the state forces it to install cooling towers at an estimated cost of $800 million. Environmental groups say the towers would only cost $200 million, and they have to be right because of all the cooling towers they've built.But that's not the math that I'm talking about. As the Associated Press story reported:The environmental group Save Barnegat Bay estimates the plant kills nearly 3 percent of the bay's marine life each day -- an assertion Exelon disputes.Three percent a day? Impossible. At that rate, there wouldn't have been enough marine life left to worry about a long...

Correction: My Jerk Friends Note That I Misused a Math Term
2009-08-28 14:25:00 Photo credit: Morguefile I have a few really smart friends who are complete jerks. These jerk friends of mine have pointed out that in a recent blog post about the launch of the ChicagoNow network ("I Have No Idea What to Write for the Chicago Now Launch," 8.10.09) I inadvertently used the word "logarithm" when I should have used the word "algorithm." These jerkass friends of mine, Jeremy and Jack, pointed out that a logarithm is the power or exponent to which the base of a number must be raised in order to produce the number (for instance the logarithm of 1,000 to a base of 10 is 3 because to get 1,000, you need to multiply 10 x...

The redundant story: math and the future of journalism
2009-06-01 17:27:00 I have long argued the rather unoriginal position that journalism’s mission to inform has its roots in religious ‘infotainment’ both popular and intellectual - moralising editorials replaced moralising sermons, etc. But I’ve been struggling to express why that mission seems such a recurrent trope in history. The use of stories for entertaining and moral purposes is clear ...

2009-05-12 13:52:00 I've been trying for two weeks now to get in touch with Gary Lockwood -- who you'll know as "the other guy in 2001: A Space Odyssey." I had figured to contact all three of the stars, but Gary Lockwood has stumped me, mostly because of MySpace.See, the only (easy) way to get in touch with Gary Lockwood is through his Myspace page, which required me to try to remember my old Myspace password. When I couldn't do that, I had to re-log in and then look up Gary again and try to send him a message... but I couldn't because he's "set to away." Whatever that means.So his Myspace page said I could leave him a comment, only to do that you have to be "friends" with someone. I sent a request to friend Gary Lockwood, but he hasn't answered yet.So for now, I'm stymied by Gary Lockwood, and I moved on to the next group on the list: Murder Mystery, the band. They also have a Myspace page, which you can find here. More importantly, they have a song, "Love Astronaut," which I think is am...

2008-11-30 04:38:00 I'm always so stumped over presents to give to some family members. Dad? My brother-in-law in West Virginia? What about my nephews? It's hard to know what they might want, and harder to find something they might like that's affordable.This year, though, Kmart really came to my rescue. They've got 25,000 different things in their store that cost less than $25 -- so if you had to buy 25,000 people presents, you could get each of them a different thing from Kmart, and each thing would cost $25 or less.That, together with their Kmart.com website, solved my Christmas dilemma, because they've got games galore, and who doesn't love a game? I headed on over to the website, andClick! An Uno game for my brother-in-law.Then Click! Connect Four for the nephew. And...Click! An oak Chess and checkers set for Dad -- he's old school. $9.99 for that -- way under $25.I could've kept clicking 24,997 more times and each one would be less than $25 -- so it's possible to click away and aw... |
