Game on! It would feel really great to exercise a part of the brain that has gathered a bit of dust lately. Basics first but looking ahead I'd love to venture into areas of big data mining and social networking analysis.

Hey everyone,
Over the past year I realized that I've managed to forget nearly all
advanced (and some basic) levels of math I picked up in college. In the
process of relearning these forgotten gems, it only seemed logical that
there are other people in the area who share in my interests. In a
potentially futile attempt, I created "Phibonacci" (the name CLEARLY isn't
set in stone) on Google Groups in an attempt to gather like minded folk:
http://groups.google.com/group/phibonacci
phibonacci@googlegroups.com
Ultimately, it'd be cool if we could devote certain meetings to given areas
of "basic" mathematics (dependent on group comfort level), collectively work
through problems and gradually advance as a group. Again, I don't want to
mandate the group's purpose, I've just found from personal experience that
it helps working through problems with another person. If someone has an
expertise in a certain area, maybe they could head up a meeting on that
topic and cover any individual questions.
If anyone is interested, please don't hesitate to shoot out some
ideas/rants/raves. Also, if you know of anyone who would be interested not
on the Lambda list, feel free to forward this along.
Take it easy,
JC
