Anécdotas sobre el matemático Kurt Gödel Actualmente estoy leyendo el libro Pi in the Sky. Counting, thinking and being, de John D. Barrow. Lo que me incomoda del libro, es que siendo Barrow un científico no haga notaciones directas del material que cita, salvo algunas excepciones. Albert Einstein y Kurt Gödel. En EEUU trabajó como profesor en el Instituto de Estudios Avanzados de Princeton; su trabajo más conocido fueron los dos teoremas de incompletitud. Barrow cuenta que Gödel era sumamente excéntrico y falleció dejando de comer, ya que se había obsesionado con la idea que lo querían envenenar. Si alguien lo quería entrevistar, fijaba una fecha y un horario exacto; luego no asistía a la cita. Y la anécdota más entretenida, fue cuando tuvo la entrevista para pedir la ciudadanía norteamericana, el 5 de diciembre de 1947. El juez, resultó ser Phillip Forman, quien hubiera tomado juramento a Einstein.

Cómo los matemáticos dominan los mercados - Negocios, dinero, finanzas y economía en Prodigy MSN BBC Mundo "Trader" Los pisos de operaciones bursátiles alguna vez fueron la prerrogativa de negociantes de bolsa con sobredosis de adrenalina. Hace ya un tiempo, las computadoras volvieron redundantes a los corredores en el piso de la bolsa, pero los brokers se han mantenido como los dueños del universo de la inversión, con la libertad de comprar y vender lo que les parezca. No obstante, una amenaza se cierne sobre ese último bastión del viejo orden. Las decisiones sobre inversiones ya no las hacen los financieros, sino más y más los matemáticos con doctorados y los inmensamente complejos programas de computador que ellos crean. La investigación básica y la intuición están siendo usurpadas por fórmulas algorítmicas. Nuevo paradigma Desde hace rato, los matemáticos vienen jugando un papel vital en el manejo de riesgo de las instituciones financieras, pero sus habilidades se están usando cada vez más para hacer dinero, no solo para evitar perderlo. Su proliferación ciertamente lo indica.

The Top 5 Motivation Poisons I hear it all the time from clients and people that I meet: they’re not motivated. They say they’re lazy and wish they could do this or that but… I’m not big on excuses or labels, especially “lazy”. So, when I hear “I’m just not disciplined,” I almost always ask: Have you ever been disciplined to do anything? What was it that helped you? What got in the way? Identifying obstacles helps you build a sustainable foundation for perseverance in the face of adversity. Motivation is personal. You can learn to be motivated. You HAVE to want to put time into it, to create a new habit, to make it part of your lifestyle. Before your rebellious inner child starts an ‘I DON’T WANNA!’ The Top 5 Poisons of Motivation:1. Become a recovering perfectionist. When you get caught up in ideals, you create resistance that gets in the way of your motivation.

The 9 Epiphanies That Shifted My Perspective Forever By David Over the years I’ve learned dozens of little tricks and insights for making life more fulfilling. They’ve added up to a significant improvement in the ease and quality of my day-to-day life. But the major breakthroughs have come from a handful of insights that completely rocked my world and redefined reality forever. The world now seems to be a completely different one than the one I lived in about ten years ago, when I started looking into the mechanics of quality of life. It wasn’t the world (and its people) that changed really, it was how I thought of it. Maybe you’ve had some of the same insights. 1. The first time I heard somebody say that, I didn’t like the sound of it one bit. I see quite clearly now that life is nothing but passing experiences, and my thoughts are just one more category of things I experience. If you can observe your thoughts just like you can observe other objects, who’sdoing the observing? 2. Of course! 3. 4. 5. Yikes. 6. 7. 8. 9.
» Simple Living Manifesto: 72 Ideas to Simplify Your Life “Simplicity is the peak of civilization.” – Jessie Sampter By Leo Babauta A simple life has a different meaning and a different value for every person. For me, it means eliminating all but the essential, eschewing chaos for peace, and spending your time doing what’s important to you. It means getting rid of many of the things you do so you can spend time with people you love and do the things you love. It means getting rid of the clutter so you are left with only that which gives you value. However, getting to simplicity isn’t always a simple process. If you’re interested in simplifying your life, this is a great starter’s guide (if you’re not interested, move on). The Short List For the cynics who say that the list below is too long, there are really only two steps to simplifying: Identify what’s most important to you.Eliminate everything else. Of course, that’s not terribly useful unless you can see how to apply that to different areas of your life, so I present to you the Long List.
