Let me add my congratulations!  Is it related to Philosophy?

Thanks guys!

TBJ, it's not even remotely related.  But I'm hoping it'll give me some money to save while I look for academic positions.

Don't I know the need for cash, though...I trained as an actor (grad school as well) and my job is not anywhere near related either.  But I hope you get an academic position soon.

That's most cheerful news!!! Even better if you enjoy what you're doing!
The essence of the mind is not in what it thinks, but how it thinks. Faith is the surrender of our mind; of reason and our skepticism to put all our trust or faith in someone or something that has no good evidence of itself. That is a sinister thing to me. Of all the supposed virtues, faith is not.

What was it... x1,2=(-b+-sqR(4ac))/2a..?

I have never used a quadratic in my life for anything practical but there is a certain satisfaction in solving them, a little like a Suduko puzzle.

We mostly do differential equasions, so quadratics are sort of low-end in my branch... Sort of common knowledge, one might say.  :sigh:

Of course you work in the banking industry so you will actually get to use that sort of thing for modelling won't you?
