Raven fans are really going to love John Urschel. He spends a lot of time with kids and math. Great guy.

Even if you are not a mathematician, you can always have a look at
some nice drawings here. And remember about this class of problems whenever you ask your GPS to calculate a route :-) The road network is one of most obvious examples of a graph.

Well, of course it’s easy if you use a cascadic multigrid algorithm. :=)
A what?

cascadic multigrid algorithm for fast computation of the Fiedler vector of a graph Laplacian, namely, the eigenvector corresponding to the second smallest eigenvalue Gesundheit

I’m lost. Did I stumble into the wrong forum? How does this algorithm help us defeat Dems and elect Ted Cruz as President? Is it some sort of special sauce that increases GOPe backbone?

Can you say “Fiedler vector” on a family forum?

Interesting. I was just thinking about this the other day while trimming my toenails.

Urschel would make an awesome guest star on Big Bang Theory.

I will second your motion! I am not a Ravens fan, but Mr. Urshel showed up on a Saturday morning at Penn State a couple of weekends ago to talk to a small group of high school kids who are finalists for relatively new engineering/sciences scholarship program (I am blessed that my son was one of those finalists...). He was on a small stage with a group of the current participants in the scholarship program (he looked like a literal giant compared to the other kids!). You could tell he was as passionate about math, sciences and research as he must be about football. He looked like he was “beaming” on the stage talking about a life of pursuing research. Seemed like a great guy who was accommodating to everyone there. I suspect that he is the kind of guy who will definitely go back to get his Ph.D when his football career is over. Heck, I may even root for the Ravens (on occasion) this season!

The Trafalmadorians had to slowly explain this me.
Montana Wildhack seemed to already understand it however.

I was under the impression that the veracis discombubulator took care of that at about 1/2 the price...???
