emails and mathematical topics

Will I or will I not get flu?

Suddenly I got emails about mathematical topics from two of my friends. I have induced AP to program baroque numbers, which he was doing on and off, now on again. He uses the so-called genetic approach which is like simulated annealing + one additional kind of moves, where from two vertices one gets a new one (it simulates sexual reproduction). He has a better software, better computer, everything better than me but the results. Somehow it's not easy to communicate on long distance, in an irregular way, and it's hard for me to pass to him my experience. Actually, I am rusty these days myself, and will have to start almost from scratch (almost) if at all.

As the luck has it, around the same time I get an email from JBrz, who is excited about abc again. He and JBro have published a nice paper anbout abc years ago, about the integer and polynomial versions. So, they are serious, while I had only an amatourish interest in the topic, and only in the classical, integer version. But JBrz is all about the polynomial version these days. I am a social being, so I will try to join him.

I have a thousand of topics for knols (instead of working on one topic only), and now I have a thousand and two. And so it goes.

Recently I have finished ("published") my first knol about logarithmic and exponential functions, log and exp--a constructive and an axiomatic approaches. It has scored its first six views. The logarithmic knol is partially based on two knols about Integration of monotone functions and The ground level properties of integral.
