“If you assume continuity, you can open the well-stocked mathematical toolkit of continuous functions and differential equations, the saws and hammers of engineering and physics for the past two centuries (and the foreseeable future).” IfsWellsTwoPastScienceNatureNaturalSawsCenturyFunctionAssumingPhysicsMathematicalEngineeringEquationsHammersContinuityDifferential Equations Book:The (Mis)Behaviour of Markets: A Fractal View of Risk, Ruin and Reward Source: The (Mis)Behaviour of Markets: A Fractal View of Risk, Ruin and Reward
“The space that we're looking through is nine-dimensional. If you build a mathematical model, the amount of searching that we've done in 50 years is equivalent to scooping one 8-ounce glass out of the Earth's ocean, looking and seeing if you caught a fish. No, no fish in that glass? Well, I don't think you're going to conclude that there are no fish in the ocean. You just haven't searched very well yet. That's where we are.” IfsThinkingYearsWellsDoneEarthSpaceSeeingHavensAmountOceanModelsGlassesCaughtFishesNineMathematicalMathematical Models Author:Jill Tarter
