Over the last year or two I've seen a variety of research activities that did not lead to publishable insights--either because the results were not novel enough to disseminate, or because "insight" is not necessarily the same thing as "research." So, I'll be using this blog to store those thoughts, and hopefully others will find them helpful as well. Given my broad range of interests, I expect posts to cover the gamut from applied mathematics to networking technology to policy and economic issues.
(I also reserve the right for the occasional off-topic posting... )
On the title: The term extreme point has its origins in the mathematics of convex sets. (A set is convex if it completely contains any line segment between two points of the set.) Formally, a point is an extreme point if it never appears on a line segment between any other two points in the set. In the context of this blog, my "extreme points" represent solely my opinion, and not that of my coauthors, research sponsors, or Stanford University.
