Although your favorite word processor will give you a “word count,” do you know what it is counting? Boltzmann's farout idea is now causing cosmologists fits, If they calculate the chance that the cosmological constant will taken on any particular value in a randomly chosen universe, then the value of our cosmological constant will probably be one of the popular choices. For example: Phrasal adjectives: Is “summary-judgment motion” two words or three? At his blog, Todd Smith has collected some examples from practitioners about how to phrase the word-count certificate Word processors disagree about the math. Why not simply count all the 2nd votes from all candidates? I want to get Mathematics is good at providing models for reality, but we should never identify the two. But, yeah, what's with this fad of counting stuff? The Lunch Counter can count the choices and take the results to the cafeteria manager. There are plenty of good resources for them already. That's because we all fall prey to the belief that we can have our own side conversations that are quiet enough not to disrupt the counting – unlike those other loudmouths. The registration requirement will still allow voters to cast their ballot for Mickey Mouse or Donald Duck, but there will be no count beyond the total number of write-in votes for non-registered write-ins. You've no doubt noticed the new word-count limits applicable in Texas appellate courts. Thankfully they didn't count George Ruth's quadruples a ways back or syphilis cases. We all know how to count, and the Peano axioms give us a precise summary of the process. This year, a voter who votes for the same candidate for all three choices, called repeat candidate voting, will give that candidate one first-choice vote but will not have the second and third choices counted. The eliminated candidate's first place votes are removed, with the second choice of the voters for the eliminated candidate "counting" in the next round. This voting practice will not be and each had to be hand-counted. This odd scenario is really, really, really unlikely — but not, quite, impossible, as physicist Ludwig Boltzmann realised in the nineteenth century. Not the usual mathematics that game devs always talk about – vectors and matrices and quaternions and spherical harmonics and all that.
