Math students,
Meeting:
Dr. Goodman and I (and probably most of you) are rather busy this week.
Thus, there will be no math club meeting. Also, since next week is
Thanksgiving break, we will not have practice then either. So, the next
practice is the Thursday (dec.2) right before the Putnam Exam (dec.4). We
will be working on the 2003 Putnam exam.
Remember, if you signed up for the exam...you should take it, since it costed
money for each person.
Soccer:
The undergrad vs. Professors soccer match is going to be on the
Friday morning of Dec.10,2004. Whoever wins will be endowed with a year's
worth of boasting rights. (If we win, I'll make sure that the results are
posted somewhere in the Math Dept. Bullentin). You can still sign up!
Weekly Joke:
Ways to tell if someone in a crowd is a mathematician
1. The mathematician looks occupied (because he once read this list and is
still thinking about it).
2. The mathematician is smarter than the others.
3. The mathematician knows that he (she) is smarter than the others.
4. The others know that the mathematician is smarter than them. (though they
may not readily admit it).
5. The mathematician knows that the others really know that he is smarter than
them. (and he realizes that they probably won't admit it in public.)
6. The others know that the mathematician knows that he knows that they know
that he is smarter than them.

oo. The mathematician knows that they know that he (she) knows that they
know.....
Did I mention that the mathematician looks occupied?
