Mathematical Modelling of Zombies

In 2009, I published an article I thought would amuse me and no one else: a mathematical model of zombies. The idea was to examine a hypothetical zombie apocalypse through the lens of disease modelling: that is, using the same types of differential equations I use every day to examine the spread of infections such as HIV, malaria, human papillomavirus and a variety of tropical diseases.

Python and AWS Cookbook

My first experience with Amazon Web Services was on March 14, 2006. I had seen a press release announcing a new web-based storage service called Simple Storage Service (S3), and I remember thinking how strange it seemed that Amazon would be offering such a service. Nevertheless, I signed up for an account and started reading the documentation. I was blown away by S3. The simple, affordable pric…

With the invention of the steamship and the opening of the Suez Canal, the time was reduced to a month or two.

The deployment of commercial email systems introduced us to wait times of only a few minutes (depending on how often you polled your server…

Taxes have a pervasive impact on our lives. They affect every individual in the United States from birth to death, and even beyond death (through taxation of an individual’s estate). Taxes likewise affect every business from formation of the business entity to its operations, distribution of profits to owners, and ultimate disposition or liquidation. Despite the wide-ranging impact of taxes,…
