Re: Satisfying LA Times Op-Ed Piece
Obviously this is not going to be mentioned in an LA Times article, but there is another explaination why those Southern states have higher crimes rates than New England states. I won't mention it, but everyone knows what I mean, and it is not Bible reading.

Perhaps they're the underlying causes of these results. |

Re: Satisfying LA Times Op-Ed Piece
Thanks for the article.
On a different note would you mind explaining the reasons for your name choice? I'm writing a PhD in complex analysis so obviously I'm curious. |

[/ QUOTE ] Your choice of: a)"The shortest route between two truths in the real domain passes through the complex domain." - Hadamard, so often quoted before proving the prime number theorem. b)It turns out that my only singularities are isolated poles. c)It sounds cool. |

[/ QUOTE ] Very nice. The proof of the PNT and the topics surrounding that certain famous meromorphic function is what got me interested in complex analysis in the first place. I'm sure you've heard the following joke. Q: Why should a complex analyst's dog be named Cauchy? A: Because he'll leave residues around poles. |
