Unfortunately, the chaos theory stuff that I was<br \/>\nposting just isn&#8217;t good for my schedule right now. Once you get past<br \/>\nthe definitions of chaos, and understanding what it means, actually<br \/>\nanalyzing chaotic systems is something that doesn&#8217;t come easily to me &#8211; which<br \/>\nmeans that it takes a <em>lot<\/em> of time to put together a post.

Since I&#8217;m a computer scientist, my background\u00a0obviously runs towards the discrete math side of the world &#8211; so, for the\u00a0most part, the easiest topics for me to write about are from that side. But\u00a0don&#8217;t let that limit you: tell me what you want to know about, and I&#8217;ll take\u00a0the suggestions into consideration, and figure out which one(s) I have the time\u00a0to study and write about.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t want to limit you by making suggestions. I&#8217;ve tried that in the past, and\u00a0the requests inevitably end up circling around the things I suggested. But I really want to\u00a0know just what you want to know more about. So &#8211; fire away!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As regular readers have no doubt noticed by now, posting on the blog has been slow lately.
