A 22-year-old client asks you the following question: "I would like to set up my own insurance policy by opening a trust account into which I can make monthly payments starting now, so that upon my death or my ninety-fifth birthday - whichever comes sooner - the trust can be expected to be worth $500,000. How much should I invest each month?" Assuming a 5% rate of return on investments, how should you respond? To answer the question on the previous page, we must know something about the probability of the client's dying at various ages. There are so many possible ages to consider (particularly since we should consider the possibilities month by month) that it would be easier to treat his age at death as a continuous variable, one that can take on any real value (between 22 and 95 in this case). The mathematics needed to do probability and statistics with continuous variables is calculus. The material on statistics in this resource will be readily accessible to you if you are familar with derivatives and integrals (through Chapter 6 of

    The Epsilon Calculus
    The epsilon calculus is a logical formalism developed by David Hilbert in the service of his program in the foundations of mathematics. The epsilon operator is a term-forming operator which replaces quantifiers in ordinary predicate logic. Specifically, in the calculus, a term x A denotes some x satisfying A x ), if there is one. In Hilbert's Program, the epsilon terms play the role of ideal elements; the aim of Hilbert's finitistic consistency proofs is to give a procedure which removes such terms from a formal proof. The procedures by which this is to be carried out are based on Hilbert's epsilon substitution method. The epsilon calculus, however, has applications in other contexts as well. The first general application of the epsilon calculus was in Hilbert's epsilon theorems, which in turn provide the basis for the first correct proof of Herbrand's theorem. More recently, variants of the epsilon operator have been applied in linguistics and linguistic philosophy to deal with anaphoric pronouns.

    106. A Calculus Of Risk
    Article by Gary Stix.

    A Calculus of Risk
    Financial engineering can lessen exposure to the perils of running a multibillion-dollar business or a small household. But mathematical models used by this discipline may present a new set of hazards by Gary Stix, staff writer SUBTOPICS: Einstein and Options Physicists on Wall Street Physics Versus Finance Financial Hydrogen Bombs Weather derivatives mark an example of the growing reach of a discipline called financial engineering. This bailiwick of high-speed computing and the intricate mathematical modeling of mathematicians, physicists and economists can help mitigate the vagaries of running a global business. It entails the custom packaging of securities to provide price insurance against a drop in either the yen or the thermometer. The uncertainties of a market crash or the next monsoon can be priced, divided into marketable chunks and sold to someone who is willing to bear that riskin exchange for a fee or a future stream of payments. "The technology will effectively allow you to completely manage the risks of an entire organization," says Robert A. Jarrow, a professor of finance at Cornell University. The engineering of financial instruments has emerged in response to turbulence during recent decades in ever more interconnected world markets: a result of floating exchange rates, oil crises, interest-rate shocks and stock-market collapses. The creative unleashing of new products continues with increasingly sophisticated forms of securities and derivativesoptions, futures and other contracts derived from an underlying asset, financial index, interest or currency exchange rate. New derivatives will help electric utilities protect against price and capacity swings in newly deregulated markets. Credit derivatives let banks pass off to other parties the risk of default on a loan. Securities that would help a business cope with the year 2000 bug have even been contemplated.

    108. Riemannian Geometry And Tensor Calculus @ Mathematica
    Free Mathematica package for explicit tensor calculations in Riemannian Geometry.
    http://www.inp.demokritos.gr/~sbonano/RGTC/
    Description This package introduces definitions for tensor calculations in Riemannian Geometry. To begin a calculation the user must specify a Riemannian space by giving: (1) a list of coordinates,
    (2) a symmetric matrix of functions of the coordinates (= metric tensor) and
    (3) a list of simplification rules (optional). The main routine in the package then computes explicit expressions for all common Riemannian Geometry tensors (Riemann, Ricci, Einstein, Weyl) and tests if the space belongs to any of the following categories: Flat Conformally Flat Ricci Flat Einstein Space or Space of Constant Curvature . Each tensor is stored as a nested list under an appropriate global name. The following functions for operating on these tensors are defined: Raise/Lower indices, Contract (multiple) indices, Covariant Differentiation and Covariant Divergence. These functions, together with the built-in functions Outer (giving tensor products) and Transpose (index rearrangement) provide the necessary tools for performing all common tensor operations on the computer. Several examples of the use of these functions on tensors computed using different metrics are given. Beginning with version 2.5, tensor components can be calculated with respect to an arbitrary frame, and approximate calculations (series expansions) can be carried out. Version 2.7.8 significantly improves these capabilities.

    University of Aberdeen
    The 2001 LMS Lectures will be given in Aberdeen. This series is held annually: a single speaker gives a course of about 10 expository lectures, examining an important topic in depth, over a five day period. In the 2001 program in Aberdeen there will be two lectures every morning. An associated afternoon programme will be arranged by G. Arone and M. Weiss. The lecture notes will be published in one of the LMS venues. All mathematicians interested in the topic are welcome to attend the lectures. Limited funds are available to support participants. Priority for financial support will be given to research students and mathematicians who would benefit from attending the lectures, but who would otherwise be prevented from attending by financial constraints. For details on financial support and an application form, please see the link below. Interested participants are also encouraged to attend the International Conference in Algebraic Topology which will take place on the Isle of Skye , the week after this lecture series (June 24 - 30 2001). The theme of the conference is Categorical Decomposition Techniques, in which calculus of functors play an important role. The organizers will attempt to reduce registration fees for those who plan to attend both meetings. Details will appear at a later date. The lecture series registration fee will be waived for doctoral students.

    111. Perl Contains The Lambda-Calculus
    Explains why this computer program is well suited to apply to functional application.
    http://perl.plover.com/lambda/
    Perl contains the -calculus
    -Calculus (pronounced `lambda calculus') is a model of computation invented by Alonzo Church in 1934. It's analogous to Turing machines, but it's both simpler and more practical. Where the Turing machine is something like a model of assembly language, the -calculus is a model of function application. Like Turing machines, it defines a simplified programming language that you can write real programs in. Writing Turing machine programs is like writing in assembly language, but writing -calculus programs is more like writing in a higher-level language, because it has functions. The two legal operations in the -calculus are to construct a function of one argument with a specified body, and to invoke one of these functions on an argument. What can be in the body of the function? Any legal expression, but expressions are limited to variables, function constructions, and function invocations. What can the argument be? It has to be another function; functions are all you have. With this tiny amount of machinery, we can construct a programming language that can express any computation that any other language can express. Unlike most popular programming languages, Perl is powerful enough to express the

    Non-Newtonian Calculus NON-NEWTONIAN CALCULUS
    A Brief Account:
    The non-Newtonian calculi were created in the period from 1967 to 1970 by Michael Grossman and Robert Katz. These calculi provide a wide variety of mathematical tools for use in science, engineering, and mathematics. They appear to have considerable potential for use as alternatives to the classical calculus of Newton and Leibniz.
    The first publication on non-Newtonian calculus was Grossman and Katz’s book "Non-Newtonian Calculus” (QA303.G88). It includes discussions of nine specific non-Newtonian calculi, the general theory of non-Newtonian calculus, and heuristic guides for application.
    The first non-Newtonian calculus is the topic of Grossman’s book "The First Nonlinear System of Differential and Integral Calculus" (QA303.G878). In that calculus the exponential functions play the role that the linear functions play in the classical calculus. A non-Newtonian calculus in which the power functions play that role is presented in Grossman’s book "Bigeometric Calculus: A System with a Scale-Free Derivative” (QA306.G84).
    Each non-Newtonian calculus, as well as the classical calculus, can be ‘weighted’ in a manner explained in the book "The First Systems of Weighted Differential and Integral Calculus” (QA303.G876) by Jane Grossman, Michael Grossman, and Robert Katz. Natural outgrowths of the systems of weighted calculus are the systems of meta-calculus, which are described in Jane Grossman's book "Meta-Calculus: Differential and Integral” (QA303.G877).

    Numerical linear algebra technique to arrive at faster pagerank technology than Google's
    Google page rank technology changed the way the world searched the internet. Well, change is constant, we are close to seeing a better technology (or if we call it a emerging technique for now) coming up.
    Researchers at Stanford University have developed techniques fr computing Google-style web rankings up to five times faster; As a result of this speed-up it may make 'Topic-sensitive' page rankings feasible.
    According to NSF ( National Science Foundation) article: To speed up PageRank, the Stanford team developed a trio of techniques in numerical linear algebra. First, in the WWW2003 paper, they describe so-called "extrapolation" methods, which make some assumptions about the Web's link structure that aren't true, but permit a quick and easy computation of PageRank. Because the assumptions aren't true, the PageRank isn't exactly correct, but it's close and can be refined using the original PageRank algorithm. The Stanford researchers have shown that their extrapolation techniques can speed up PageRank by 50 percent in realistic conditions and by up to 300 percent under less realistic conditions.
    The research team at Stanford includes graduate students Sepandar Kamvar and Taher Haveliwala, noted numerical analyst Gene Golub and computer science professor Christopher Manning.

Let me describe in a little more detail my interest in coagulation. In diverse contexts one is led to consider a large system of particles (bubbles, droplets, stars, molecules...) which, over time, stick together to form larger particles. This can be modelled as a Markov random process. The challenge is to discover the possible sorts of behaviour of these systems: is there a non-random approximation giving the evolving concentrations of particles of various masses, do most of the particles eventually (or instantaneously) stick together, do spatial fluctuations matter, does the mass distribution, suitably renormalised, converge in long time? These are questions of interest to scientists in many fields but a rigorous mathematical theory has only partly emerged. Techniques relevant to the analysis of these processes are martingales, weak convergence, coupling of processes and plenty of careful estimates. Further details can be found on my Personal Home Page

    We can present systematically several normal propositional modal logics, including S5, for which cut elimination is proved. We also investigated geometric theories, some of which we expressed in the calculus of structures. The family of normal propositional modal logic systems is given a very systematic organisation by their model theory. This model theory is generally given using frame semantics, and it is systematic in the sense that for the most important systems we have a clean, exact correspondence between their constitutive axioms as they are usually given in a Hilbert-Lewis style and conditions on the accessibility relation on frames. By contrast, the usual structural proof theory of modal logic, as given in Gentzen systems, is ad-hoc. While we can formulate several modal logics in the sequent calculus that enjoy cut-elimination, their formalisation arises through system-by-system fine tuning to ensure that the cut-elimination holds, and the correspondence to the formulation in the Hilbert-Lewis systems becomes opaque. This paper introduces a systematic presentation for the systems K, D, M, S4, and S5 in the calculus of structures, a structural proof theory that employs
