Another kind of sports reporting
- February 23rd, 2010
Inspired by John Allen Paulos, who just now tweeted
Obvious, but NBC hasn’t said: Canada, Norway, Germany way ahead of US in Olympic medals per capita. Many ways to rank: Cf. Arrow’s theorem.
I decided to redo the medals list. Here, the number of medals per capita among the top countries.
Country Gold/capita Silver/capita Bronze/capita Total/capita Norway 1.23E-06 6.17E-07 1.03E-06 2.88E-06 Austria 3.58E-07 3.58E-07 3.58E-07 1.07E-06 Slovenia 0 4.87E-07 4.87E-07 9.74E-07 Switzerland 6.43E-07 0 2.57E-07 9.00E-07 Latvia 0 8.90E-07 0 8.90E-07 Sweden 3.21E-07 2.14E-07 2.14E-07 7.49E-07 Estonia 0 7.46E-07 0 7.46E-07 Slovakia 1.84E-07 1.84E-07 1.84E-07 5.53E-07 Croatia 0 2.25E-07 2.25E-07 4.51E-07 Netherlands 1.81E-07 6.03E-08 6.03E-08 3.01E-07 Canada 1.47E-07 1.18E-07 2.94E-08 2.94E-07 Czech republic 9.51E-08 0 1.90E-07 2.85E-07 Germany 8.56E-08 1.10E-07 6.12E-08 2.57E-07 -
Testing out the wplatex package

Eric Finster, over at Curious Reasoning has built a python script to allow you to write Wordpress posts entirely in LaTeX , and upload them. The script parses the LaTeX code and generates HTML that expresses the same structure.
This, here, is me trying it out. With any luck, the appearance of a new toy will get me back to actually blogging some more – it’s been winding down a bit much here lately.

Michi is a recent PhD working in homological algebra and applied algebraic topology. This blog is his outlet for texts with some manner of thought put into them. Over at his LiveJournal intimate details and streams of consciousness might be found.
Not all here is mathematics. All here, though, are my personal thoughts and opinions. Please read the about page (linked above) for more details.
