Subject: RE: [OM] Math question to any math majors?
And here's me feeling innumerate (I'm not alone). Now, there may be missing
parameters - Over how many years? Is ship a misprint (he raises no ship at
all)? What kind of doctorate? (medicine, agriculture, theology?) Is the
carrying capacity variable? (3 per acre is bit high for these parts, very
low for others). Is there water in the dam? Is this a foot and mouth free
area? What do the sheep think? Do sheep, in fact, think? Should I get a
life instead.
Obviously!
