“How to use Markov Chains to become a billionaire"

"How the work of Andrei Markov 100 years ago made Larry Page

and Sergei Brin super rich"

Who the hell are Mathematicians? Bean counters??

What is Mathematics?

What is one of the biggest problem of the Internet?

• Too much information

• To be precise, too much noise and little information

How to get some order out of this chaos?

• Some workarounds• Mashup.• Data Mining• Business intelligence• SAP acquires Business Object• Oracle acquires Hyperion• Efficient Frontier does strategic Bidding.

Support Vector Machines(SVM):

• Performs Classification by constructing N-dimensional hyperplane that optimally separates the data into 2 categories.

Some general idea of SocialRank Algorithm

• N-dimensional Hyperplane• Hidden Markov Models.• Natural Language Processing.• -+ some secret sauce.

Game Development

• Big opportunity for Indie Gamers. (eg: PyGames)

•Casual Games(eg: Magesco(for Wii)
