I am not sure this is the right forum for this -- I have a question about a particular paper: http://www-users.cs.umn.edu/~sboriah/PDFs/ChandolaCBK2009.pdf The authors describe 4 heuristics that can be derived from categorical data -- this is in order to map categorical data to numerical...

In your opinion, how long should it take to prepare for verbal and quantitative GRE? By that I mean how many days and hours of study per day? Because of school-work hiatus, I don't remember any SAT words and such.

Hello everyone, A few years back I finished M.A. in Biology. Since then I have identified quantitative reasoning as an area of strength and I am currently pursuing B.S. in Computational Mathematics. I work as data analyst (Access, Excel, SQL, VBA, etc.) I came across many references to...

The good part is that you worry about this gunk now, when it is not too late. Your graduate education will be looked upon as a burden for your employer because they will have to pay you a hefty salary. If you don't have enough experience in the work setting, your advanced degree will make your...

That is just a great way of putting it all together. This is what it's all about. Get to know the right people, schmooze around, play golf with C, kiss it, kiss it, kiss it and love it. Then luck will be yours wherever you go regardless of your education.

To all: teaching lost job security because of artificially created 'teacher shortages'. This way hiring committees can keep the starting salary low. It benefits them to close down schools and let people go, so next wave can be hired at the same or lower cost. To ks_physicist: my condolences...

You may find a very good job in case if you know how to schmooze around and pay lip service. These things are collectively known as "networking." Alternatively, you may sign up to work in McDonalds. Currently I am rehearsing my "do you want french fries with that?" By the way, I have M.A. in...

I am working on a long essay about dismal future awaiting science/math/engineering majors (including myself.) For now, just take a look at this: http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-search-selection/234846-dont-major-engineering.html?highlight=engineering+connecticut"

In four years you will see people with signs "will work for food." In situation like this, you will take on any job. I mean literally any job. You want some good piece of advise? Get an entry level job in your field today (without any degree) and go to college part time. Before you graduate...

Doublemint, I kind of side with you about research in biology. Just out of curiosity, why are you not fond of it? Why do you not want career with medicine involved? I understand you have a heavy mathematical background (me too) so how does that make you think about medicine/biology?

Hello folks, I have stored a whole bunch of drained AA, AAA and D batteries. They cannot be recharged. I was wondering if there is any way to sell them or utilize them for profit. Thanks in advance.

I understand your explanation. However, I would appreciate it if you could go over the logic of my solution and answer the question conclusively (i.e. to the best of your knowledge) if my solution is correct or not. Thank you for your time and effort.

I am sorry for the previous post. The solution I have arrived at is actually below.

Hi, Everyone, Problem asks to prove that limit of x^2 * sin^2 (y) / (x^2 + 2* y^2) as (x,y) approach (0,0) is 0 using delta-epsilon method. I think I solved it below. Let me know if I am write or wrong. Thanks.

Thanks a lot. Check it out. Here is deal. Let me know if it good.
