a manifold kind of day

I'm about to go out for a bit, but before that, here's what I've been talking about for days now: the manifold weblog. (About my thesis work). The PDF of the dissertation is posted there (finally!), as well as two new posts that explain some more things:

• the manifold algorithms, and
• a bit more on manifold-g

as well as the older posts on the topic, plus a presentation and some code in the last one. Keep in mind that this is research work. Hope it's interesting! And that it doesn't instantaneously induce heavy sleep. :)
