8/13    Does anyone have the announcement of a class about fractals etc. posted
        to http://ucb.org.csua?  Is there an archive of the group? (google doesn't
        have it)  Thanks.
        \_ why was this post purged?
           \_ I searched a little harder and found the answer on my own.
              I'm still curious about the archive though -- does it exist?
        \_ The course URL was:
           http://www.ce.berkeley.edu/~hermanowicz/e101/e101_index.htm
           Email me privately if you want me to reforward the entire message
           (don't want to dump it all in the motd).

              \_ you should keep explaining other peoples' jokes. it
                will make you cool.

1/18    I own a bunch of NFLX stocks bought at several different periods
        (from high $200 all the way down to $80). I dumped a few and
        still have a few. Why the hell is Reid Hastings still making
        $500,000/year? How do I join the pending NFLX Class Action

www.ce.berkeley.edu/~hermanowicz/e101/e101_index.htmWe will try to look at a variety of natural objects and processes, and their mathematical counterparts to see if we can characterize such features as ruggedness, structure, contingency, "butterfly effect". The focus will be on the development of intuition and on applications rather than rigorous mathematical derivations. I hope that you will acquire a new 17 Weltanschauung and start thinking about scaling laws, sensitivity to initial conditions, small changes and large effects.
