Talk:Khinchin's theorem

message: I'm really not convinced that the elementary result in this article is commonly referred to as "Khinchin's theorem". I ran a search on Google Scholar, and the most common reference to "Khinchin's theorem" is in connection with Diophantine approximation (specifically, to the probabilistic distribution of integers in "almost all" regular continued fraction expansions of real numbers). That topic is covered in Wikipedia under Khinchin's constant and also under Levy's constant.
It also appears that Khinchin's name appears most often in connection with other mathematicians when used to refer to a theorem (e.g., Wiener-Khinchin theorem, Bochner-Khinchin theorem, Birkhoff-Khinchin theorem). I'll try looking with alternative transliterations of his name, but right now it appears to me that this article is factually incorrect.  DavidCBryant 13:58, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think Kinchin (and his 1928/1929 theorem) should be mentioned in Law of large numbers (LLN) article. Giftlite 17:55, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

text: David, you are a.s. right. I've corrected the spelling errors and such, but have grave doubts that this has much to do with Khinchin, besides the fact that he worked on probability theory, among, of course, many other subjects. On the other hand, the elementary fact itself might be notable, only a probabilist can tell. Arcfrk 00:09, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

text: I prodded this article, and only later realized it has been prodded (unsuccessfully) before. Anyways, I support David here, and I will AFD this article if needed.(Igny 04:04, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Education funding 

message: One question: what kind of “masters degree” obtained Mr. Djelic in France when such diploma did not exist at that time? French “Maîtrise” is a direct translation from English and the word refers to ordinary graduate study and first university diploma. The first postgraduate study in France was diploma of “troisiemme cicle”, DEA. Was this "masters degree" in reality a DEA (Diplôme d'Études Approfondies)? Troubling is also that in the curriculum Mr. Djelic does not follow a regular academic way. The MBA and similar courses are not recognised as regular “masters degree”. The MBA is a course with the scope to prepare students for more specialised ordinary work. A regular masters degree, similarly to the French DEA, is preparatory study and introduction into scientific research; while doctoral studies (PhD) are preparation for an academic scientific research and teaching career. Both of them are not to see in this curriculum.Draganparis (talk) 22:23, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

Talk:The Throwback (novel)

message: And I lend it to dogmatic leftwingers of all shades, 'gandhian'-left, marxist-'left', they found it reactionary and disgusting!
The same thinking makes some marxist party-liners to *still* call D. H. Lawrence a 'reactionary'! Though a young maoist leader Saroj Dutta, tortured and killed by the Indian State - specifically the west bengal police - praised Lawrence as 'though reactionary, but full of energy and has a lot to teach us' or something like that. 
Why so?
Senior activist Micheal Albert (of znet ie zcommunications.org))in his old book 'What Is To Be Undone?' [available online for reading free at http://www.zcommunications.org/zparecon/witbu.htm] points out that maoists are not really marxists; they have original democratic ideas. Prob is they carry marxist baggage which warps their thought and work. (that's a very loose paraphrase: Micheal Albert will surely find it simplistic and unsatisfactory..)
