From: Victoria Stodden To: Jeffrey Epstein <1 Cc: ' Subject: Re: first pass Date: Fri, 14 Aug 2009 16:20:13 +0000 He's got that in spades. :) Much of the statistics I was trained in is really geometric thinking - the most advanced math course I took as a PhD student was differential geometry with Paul Cohen (along with complex analysis and group theory), because of my work with Donoho.

For the "differential geometrist" you mention for the power laws gathering, I'd like to suggest David Donoho. He was my advisor and, along with Danny Hillis, the best scientific thinker I know. He is also a MacArthur genius grant awardee (at age 34) and is the most highly cited author in mathematics. As is common for the best academics he is not a self-promoter. He deeply understands information theory, shannon, and ran a hedge fund at RenTech for a couple of years about 4 years ago. In my work with him we studied power laws, especially in the context of internet traffic. Much of his early work centered on robustness, which is also a way of understanding limitations of the normal distribution. His understanding of this area is very deep. http://www-stat.stanford.edu/—donoho/ <http://www-stat.stanford.edu/%7Edonoho/> - see especially his "reports" section http://news.stanford.edu/pr/91/910618Arc1292.html http://news-service.stanford.edu/pr/01/mathcite214.html Victor le On 8/11/09 4:56 PM, "Jeffrey Epstein" <[email protected]> wrote: I intend to fully fund the following gatherings ( meetings with lots of interaction hikes coffee. cross pollination ) over the next year 1 Evolutionary Code dynamics.. a brand new field that encompasses, game theory, virus dynamics, (both computers and biological). , cryptography , and genetics. 2.
