В области математики, интегралом неотрицательной функции можно рассматривать в простейшем случае, как район между график этой функции, и X-оси. Лебегу интеграции является математической конструкцией, что расширяет неотъемлемой частью более широкого класса функций, но и расширяет домены, на которых эти функции могут быть определены. Он уже давно понял, что для неотрицательных функций с гладкой достаточно графике (например, непрерывных функций на замкнутых ограниченных интервалов) площадь под кривой можно определить как составной и с использованием методов приближения регионе полигоны.

That was ndk, still getting the hang of this mobile and it’s aggresively stupid autocorrect. Not even New Year’s Eve, so that’s the only excuse I got. Holiday cheer’s on me. :p

It’s be the most heartfelt gift I’d receive this year, Glen, but I’m spending this Christmas with friends in Midtown. I always wondered how you folks got in the mood this time of year, and if it’s Aussie Santettes in furry red bikinis and plenty of beer, count me in for ‘09. Happy Holidays to you and all our other naked friends. You bring understanding, meaning, and entertainment to what would otherwise be some truly selfish and soulless times.

Re Modern Recessions Different???: I caught Talib on the TV just yesterday, or the day before, or maybe it was the day after, or even The Day the Earth Stood Still, and "He" said: "The Great Depression" is a sample of one. That is almost exactly a quote, I do not paraphrase much at all...

A sample of one...

Thanks, I've read Popper. When I get to the bottom I go back to the top of the slide where I stop and turn and I go for a ride till I get to the bottom and I see you again.....

Yep, I still read everything put here.

Yeh hay, it Christmas day in Australia !!! It’s a balmy tropical, day in the north, kids have trashed their presents, beers chilling, food ready for lunch – the world can go the hell today, I don’t care. Best of the festive season to all, take care and blog for a better world.

Hey NDK, have a cold beer on ice waiting for you in this part of the Commonwealth…

To doc holliday: Good to see you back here and posting. The outflow of your negative entropy is always a delight (especially when it’s in Russian).

To Yves: Season’s Greetings and warm thanks for running such an insightful blog. You should mention the name of your favorite charity – I’d be happy to put them in my will, which will be more flush due to profits I’ve made from what I’ve learned from you and the sharp cookies who are drawn here and post.

To all others, scattered around cyberspace, thanks for your virtual company and conversation – have a wonderful holiday, whichever one you may celebrate (aside to the Pagans – Happy Belated Solstice!)

A very Merry Virtual Christmas to all the globalized families and any and all associated tiny animals who have visions of Higgs boson particles dancing around in pseudo-Euclidean spaces. Cats, I'm friggn so tired of cat metaphors and associations with frozen credit markets...

Although we may all be physically, mentally and spiritually separated, fragmented and pulled apart like the Treasury Yield Curve Black Hole -- which is drifting along in an un-planned direction (after The Bush Coup) we should all remember that negative yields and negative eigenvector decompositions are like pseudo-Riemannian metrics where values can be positive, negative or zero.
