In my most recent Ec 10 lecture, I discussed Arrow's Impossibility Theorem . Here, from my favorite textbook, is a fun problem based on it: A group of athletes are competing in a multi-day triathlon. They have a running race on day one, a swimming race on day two, and a biking race on day three. You know the order in which the athletes finish each of the three components. From this information, you...

Another week of triathlon training has come to a close. This week was tough for me. Last week I had terrible headaches and this week I woke up with sore throats every day. At first I thought I was catching a cold, and therefore didn't do any workouts on Tuesday, but every day the sore throats would subside later in the morning. I also struggled to complete one of the weight lifting workouts as it was...

What day is it? This has been my worst and best November ever. I continue to plug away at my WriMo project , although I do realize it's in vain.

I have not done well with my word count, but I'm pleased with the writing thus far, and that has to count for something. I'm also pleased with my article for Colorful...
