I made some more progress with my studies! Finished this two part course last week which consisted of reviewing some literature, writing up some small report about it and doing a presentation. The goal of the course was to specifically practice academic research skills. No sweat! On to the next one.

¿Qué patrón sigue la siguiente secuencia de números?

5 – 4 – 2 – 9 – 8 – 6 – 7 – 3 – 1

Los números están colocados por orden alfabético.

cinco – cuatro – dos – nueve – ocho – seis – siete – tres – uno

La película presenta más enigmas matemáticos todos muy conocidos y sencillos. Sin embargo, siempre es interesante ver películas en las que aparecen las matemáticas.

If you have any trouble sounding condescending, find a UNIX user to show you how it’s done.

I’m happy to inform you that this website is carbon neutral. And I didn’t even have to do anything for it. Happens that the hosting provider where I host this site became green by compensating for its CO2 emission via the purchase of trees from Cleanbits.

Just got my grade back for a course I recently finished. The course was about business rules and how to formalize them in relation algebra so that they can be executed by a rule engine. I noticed a lot of similarities between business rules and expert systems and I wonder if it isn’t just an old concept with a new name. Interesting nonetheless though.
