Welcome to my talk page. Please feel free to comment on anything here! Cheers, Ben Cairns.
Hello Bjcairns. I'm glad to see another person contributing to articles on probability.
Two pointers:

Hi from me too :)
I've replied to your kind message on my talk page, by the way... but here are some links to help you get started...
Have fun :) Dysprosia 03:59, 14 Nov 2003 (UTC)
Hi. Thanks for your work on Desargues' theorem. Michael Hardy 20:32, 2 Dec 2003 (UTC)
OK, how about File:DesarguesHouse.pdf. That can be used in the same article. Michael Hardy 02:17, 5 Dec 2003 (UTC)
I think your probability textbook idea could work. It will be a lot of work though. Michael Hardy 02:17, 5 Dec 2003 (UTC)
Hi Kevin. Good to see some engagement with my recent addition to the Logistic map article. However, I stand by my original text. I think that it is in fact true, but I take what may be your point -- it is not entirely clear on the whole story.
What I had written was meant to say that if we had perfect knowledge of the system and its initial state, then in principle we could know every future state -- I mean this in precisely the sense that it is deterministic. Of course, if we were measuring a system or using a digital computer to calculate the future states, then we would have imperfect knowledge or we would fail in practice to accurately calculate future states. But, perfect is, well, perfect, and immeasurability has nothing to do with it.
I'll make the change to what I meant, and try to incorporate your edit as well to make it clearer. Ben Cairns 02:27, 10 Dec 2003 (UTC)
In response to your reply on my talk page, I think we agree philosophically about the impossibility of obtaining perfect knowledge about something, but that does not make the concept of perfect knowledge meaningless. I think that the word "perfect" as I used it would be understood by most of the Wikipedia's readers as meaning what I intended it to mean, and moreover the contrasting point about the impossibility of perfect knowledge in practice has been made in the article. However, in response to your comments, I'll have a go at defining "perfect" more clearly.

Thanks again for your comments. You have an interesting view on 'perfect' -- and I'm happy we can agree to disagree. Ben Cairns 22:18, 11 Dec 2003 (UTC)

You said the following about the above revision:
How is that possible? The article stated:
Also, the paper that introduced this theory does not have a copyright notice on it.
This has no relevance to the development of that article; I was just curious as to what constitutes a "copyright violation".
Hello. Aside from the ongoing discussion at talk:Bayes' theorem -- I noticed that you are not an administrator but I think you ought to be. I will nominate you if you wish. You may reply here or on my talk page. Regards & happy editing, Wile E. Heresiarch 16:10, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Please vote at Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of lists of mathematical topics. Michael Hardy 20:21, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
Hello. Because of recent edits to the list of lists, the question arises: whether you vote or its accompanying comments should get updated? Michael Hardy 00:41, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
Hi,
I saw that you worked on the Boole's inequality article and I was thinking that maybe you'd be interested in the False discovery rate article. I wrote most of it, but I'm sure there are mistakes, so maybe you could review it somehow. Tony 21:41, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
Hello Bjcairns. I just saw a notice of yours at images associated with the logistic map article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Logistic_map_scatterplots_large.png)
Are you still planning to include the source code there? I see the last change was in 2003... Would it be possible for you to paste the source code on my talk page even if you're not going to put it with the image? (Matlab is okay, not yet familiar with Octave)
Would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! ;) Scribblesinmindscapes 05:08, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
Hey Bjcairns, I am writing you to let you know that the Mathematics Collaboration of the week(soon to "of the month") is getting an overhaul of sorts and I would encourage you to participate in whatever way you can, i.e. nominate an article, contribute to an article, or sign up to be part of the project. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks--Cronholm144 17:44, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
P.S. I recently saw/rated Abel's theorem keep up the good work and feel free to comment in the talk page's shiny new Mathematics box

Hi, I'm posting this on your (and other members of the Maths Wikiproject) talk as we need editors who are knowledgeable about Mathematics to evaluate the following discussion and check out the editors and articles affected. Please follow the link below and comment if you can help.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
