Investigating real problems in a real world, where 'applied' is not just a 7 letter word
admin In a previous blog posting I considered that the disparity between the Ipsos Reid and Forum Research results may be due to the methodology in how this polling is done. In this blog I will detail how I arrived at the final result. When we attempt to find a solution that matches the polling results … Read morePoll at the Forum (part 2): under the hood

There is really no perfect time to commence such an activity and over the winter break I … Read moreConfirming a New Years resolution
The Squeeze Theorem Let’s start with a statement of the squeeze theorem. Theorem 1.1 Suppose \(g(x) \le f(x) \le h(x)\) and this is true for all \(x\) in a neighbourhood of \(x = a\) (except perhaps at \(x = a\)). Further, suppose \(\displaystyle \lim_{x \to a} g(x) = \displaystyle \lim_{x \to a} h(x) = L\). Then … Read moreComputing Limits II: The Squeeze Theorem – Limits and Continuity
