type='text'>Basic Math stuff, Part II</title><content type='html'>I would like to go on latter Garay's &lt;a href="http://leccionesdemate.blogspot.com"&gt;"post"&lt;/a&gt; and talk about the concept of symmetry and the algebraic structure there may be related with it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For the sake of the argument, let me work on two specific examples in order to make sense, mathematically speaking, of what exactly we are going to consider as a symmetry of something. The first one: reflection.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6lyaQp88B7c/Se1CL6DEpcI/AAAAAAAAAIU/j7Pf9HLol4A/s1600-h/ASyFiguren.png"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 116px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6lyaQp88B7c/Se1CL6DEpcI/AAAAAAAAAIU/j7Pf9HLol4A/s320/ASyFiguren.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326986706577302978" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let's fix an axis, as the picture shows. In doing so, we can see that there will be a symmetry of the hole picture, namely a reflection through the such an axis. In other words, in applying a reflection (don't forget the axis), it seems we have done nothing to the picture, then such a reflexion is going to be considered as a symmetry of our picture. It turns out that we may think of that reflection as an element of a set which has indeed an algebraic structure: it is a "group".&lt;br /&gt;Needless to say that in the latter example, once we have fixed the axes, there is only one symmetry of the picture. This means that the "group" of symmetries has two elements: doing nothing(it is certainly a symmetry) and the unique reflection; a group of two elements then.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another basics example is going to be rotations.&lt;br /&gt;The ancient Greek certainly knew that there are only 5 regular solid in the space. Such solid with clear symmetries we would like to describe in mathematical terms. We are focus on the symmetries of one of them: Tetrahedron.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6lyaQp88B7c/Sg3-3647qoI/AAAAAAAAAIs/Xc8F6s-Ac9Q/s1600-h/polyhedra-tetrahedron1.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 250px; height: 238px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6lyaQp88B7c/Sg3-3647qoI/AAAAAAAAAIs/Xc8F6s-Ac9Q/s320/polyhedra-tetrahedron1.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5336201370158213762" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What do we mean by a symmetry in this context? Well, similarly as Garay pointed out &lt;a href="http://leccionesdemate.blogspot.com"&gt;"post"&lt;/a&gt;, if we make the tetrahedron to spin 120 degrees (fixing an axis), it'll seem that we have done nothing to such a solid. In other words, such type of rotations seem to do nothing to the tetrahedron, that's exactly what we are going to consider as a symmetry of such a solid, &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;ergo&lt;/span&gt; rotations of this type (apparently doing nothing) are symmetries in this context.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6lyaQp88B7c/Sg4BH2vmFbI/AAAAAAAAAI0/EOWOWEk2oBQ/s1600-h/polyhedra-tetrahedron2.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 250px; height: 238px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6lyaQp88B7c/Sg4BH2vmFbI/AAAAAAAAAI0/EOWOWEk2oBQ/s320/polyhedra-tetrahedron2.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5336203842946471346" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It turns out the set of rotation of the tetrahedron has algebraic structure. By Algebraic structure we mean, they form a group: A_4, the alternating group in four elements. Therefore, let me say that the set of symmetries of such a solid is the group A_4. Here is a picture showing such symmetries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6lyaQp88B7c/Se1A4sCn9II/AAAAAAAAAIM/cvJp49RBO4E/s1600-h/441px-Tetrahedral_group_2.svg.png"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 235px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6lyaQp88B7c/Se1A4sCn9II/AAAAAAAAAIM/cvJp49RBO4E/s320/441px-Tetrahedral_group_2.svg.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326985276888183938" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In working on the previous examples we have avoided the name of "group action". However it is exactly what we have been doing above. A group is acting on an object by symmetries. The group with two elements was the first example while the alternating group A_4 was the second one. Now we want to mention another less obvious (Csar's opinion) example of symmetry. In doing so and in the light of the previous examples, we might say that we are about to describe another group action and that is exactly the point. It is the point because via that idea, we're going to be able to write the concept of symmetry in a concrete mathematical way. That fact enable us to deal with symmetries abstractly, and such a thing will draw and amazing conclusion working out one of the most famous problems of the last century: Solubility of a polynomial by radicals. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The 18th-century question we are going to deal with is the following. Given a polynomial, when there exists an algebraic expression for its solutions involving only taking radicals, addition and multiplication of its coefficients?. When? and what are the polynomials like whose solutions are a basic algebraic manipulation of its coefficients? The answer to this question was an achievement of the concept of symmetry in terms of group actions solved by a 22-years-old guy named Evariste Galois.&lt;br /&gt;Let's state the theorem exactly as it is: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Galois-1830) A polynomial with coefficients in a field of characteristic zero is solvable by radicals if and only if its Galois group is solvable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are going to argue that given a polynomial, there exists a group acting on its roots by permutations. For example, let us consider the polynomial X^3-1. This polynomial factors as (X-1)(X^2+X+1). Clearly 1 is a root. However there are 2 complex roots as well, and those prevent the "symmetries" of this polynomial from being more than 2. Indeed, we will have 2 symmetries here, namely only permutation the roots of X^2+X+1. In other words, if &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;A&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;B&lt;/span&gt; are roots of the latter polynomial then what we can only do is exchange &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;A&lt;/span&gt; by &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;B&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;vice versa&lt;/span&gt;. Therefore, we can say that the associated group of symmetries here is the one with two elements: Z_2. We had seen this group in the first example. Permutations that's all. This has nothing to do with multiply them nor add them up. Just permutations. Since we can't permute a real root for a complex one, that's the reason we can't permute the root 1 neither with &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;A&lt;/span&gt; nor &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;B&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It turns out that given a polynomial E. Galois realized there is always a group acting on the set of its roots. The subtle thing, though, is that not all the permutations are allowed. Indeed, those permutation that the symmetries do allow to come into the game, form the so-called Galois group of the the polynomial. Hence, the problem now is to find out whether a permutation is allowed or not. The theorem says "If the symmetries (permutations) of the polynomial are such that they form a group which is both acting on the set of roots and it is solvable, then the polynomial is solvable". In other words, Galois realized that if the permutations acting on the roots of the polynomial form a solvable group then there should exists an algebraic expression for such roots in terms of the coefficients. Moreover, such an algebraic expression should only involve radicals, addition, subtraction and division, i.e., basic algebraic manipulations. He proved that and wrote down his name in the mathematical history in such a beautiful way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;p.s Did you realize that there are no pictures once we started talking about algebra?&lt;br /&gt;That's how it is...no pictures.

Fueron un imperio indiscutiblemente, tenian una organizacion social monarquica (un solo hombre gobernando), al parecer opresora en muchos aspectos y un tanto social-democrata en otros. Por citar un ejemplo, digamos que ejercian el derecho a la propiedad privada, tal y como la conocemos(*). Claro, solamente que a los unicos que se les permitia tener tierras propias debian ser nobles. Los demas, es decir los no nobles, tenian que trabajar la tierra de manera comunal (socialista el asunto). Este marco comunistoide de trabajar la tierra, sirvio de base a los espanioles para forjar lo que actualmente conocemos como ejido. Todo lo anterior haciendo a un lado a los esclavos, nada de ello aplicaba para ellos. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pero cual es la fuente de todos estos datos tan especificos?. Mas aun, despues de una guerra tan devastadora como la que fue "Mexico Vs Cortes-Tlaxcala" ¿Como se rescato el legado azteca?. Pues en general, la fuente mas importante del legado azteca son los codices, es decir, los libros que fueron escritos por manos aztecas (y espaniolas). Todos en su mayoria pictograficos (imagenes). Lo interesante es que no hay uno solo que se considere sin duda alguna pre-conquista, es decir, escrito antesde de la conquista. Entonces, si no hay tales libors pre-conquista, significa no sobrevivio nada? Bueno, loque opina la gente que sabe del asunto, es que se reconstruyo buena parte de ese legado a la llegada de los europeos. Esto se afirma de ejemplos muy representativos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6lyaQp88B7c/SeBXB93PhaI/AAAAAAAAAGs/P2vt1SUManE/s1600-h/azc1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 306px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6lyaQp88B7c/SeBXB93PhaI/AAAAAAAAAGs/P2vt1SUManE/s320/azc1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5323350450849678754" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;De todos esos libros que habria y que se re-escribieron, pocos de ellos se conservan en Mexico. Unos de los tantos saqueos que ha sufrio esa sufrida tierra del valle de Mexico fue el de sus libros. Los codices asi, se resguardan en el Vaticano, Londres, Paris, EU, Espania, etc. Permitanme enumerar los casos que me son mas relevantes&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ferjevary-Mayer: Liverpool, Reino Unido.&lt;br /&gt;Telleriano-Remensis: Paris, Francia.&lt;br /&gt;Borgia: El Vaticano.&lt;br /&gt;Borbonicus: Paris, Francia.&lt;br /&gt;Florentino: Solo hay Copias.&lt;br /&gt;Aubin: Reino unido, Francia, EU.&lt;br /&gt;Mendoza: Oxford, Reino Unido.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Queda mas o menos claro cual es el papel de Mexico como poseedor de este material. Sin embargo observen que tampoco Espania es la poseedora de este material. Aqui la pirateria jugo en contra de los ibericos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sobre el primer caso arriba, Ferjevary-Mayer, aun esta en tela de discusion si lo elaboraron manos aztecas. Sin embargo es presumiblemente pre-conquista y ademas de una belleza indiscutible. Echenle un ojo en la siguiente imagen, y a la de arriba de paso. Por ahi dicen que pudo haber sido hecho en Veracruz.

El Primer Virrey Don Antonio de Mendoza, que dicen era un hombre sabio, entre otras cosas instauro en sus primeros anios, al frente del gobierno de la Nueva Espania, el Colegio de la Santa Cruz en Tlatelolco. Mismo donde enseniaria mucha gente muy culta, como Fray Bernardino de Sahagun hombre a quien se le debe mucho del rescate del legado Azteca. Este senior, Sahagun, enseniaba a los naturales en Tlatelolco entre otras cosas, latin, griego, nahuatl y teologia. Es mas, Miguel-Leon Portilla lo llama el primer antropologo en Mexico(@) pues se decico muchos anios a recopilar todo lo que pudo del legado azteca: organizacion social, mornarquia, guerra, historia azteca, lenguaje, medicina azteca, religion, etc(***). En fin, regresando al otro chico de la historia, Mendoza dio la instrucion que se hiciera un libro con constumbres y legado azteca tambien. Asi nacio el Codice Mendoza, ademas de mandar re-hacer los tan apreciados acueductos que llevavan agua a la capital. Que por cierto, aun existen en salto del agua, DF. La que sigue es una imagen del codice Mendoza y que a un mexicano se le debiera hace familiar.( y mas a aquellos de la ciudad de la esperanza).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6lyaQp88B7c/SeBg-5QjGmI/AAAAAAAAAG8/zhWQvO5gp10/s1600-h/CodexMendoza01.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 338px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6lyaQp88B7c/SeBg-5QjGmI/AAAAAAAAAG8/zhWQvO5gp10/s400/CodexMendoza01.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5323361393190312546" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En concreto, si los libros aztecas existentes no fueron en su mayoria hechos antes de la llegada de la cruz y de la hostia, tuvieron los espanioles por tanto mucho que ver en su eleboracion. Se puede afirmar esto dado a que las instituciones aztecas (pre-consquita), encargadas del fomento a la educacion y bellas artes, quedaron desechas despues de la guerra. Mas aun, la evidencia quedo plasmada en las anotaciones en espaniol que la mayoria de ellos (los codices) tienen. Sobre los hombros de este duo de chicos, Sahagun y Mendoza, descansa mucho del rescate del legado cultural de nuestra nacion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6lyaQp88B7c/SeBsqxrSSyI/AAAAAAAAAHU/Qr1MPEPvbSQ/s1600-h/azt3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 198px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6lyaQp88B7c/SeBsqxrSSyI/AAAAAAAAAHU/Qr1MPEPvbSQ/s200/azt3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5323374241697123106" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Allí, encima de él, se ha erguido el águila, está destrozando, está desgarrando a la serpiente, la devora.

Sin embargo, "abrazar al capitalismo" ni en mi Mexico hubiese salido tan barato. Tomar prestado un auto ultimo modelo por tres dias, nos costo el equivalente a comprar un botellas de vodka y un "carton" de cervecita (tamanio familiar por supuesto). Es decir, pensando en reventon, rentar un auto el fin de semana no esta fuera del presupuesto de un clase mediero.

Aqui les dejo la vista que se tiene desde uno de los picos del canion...sobre la carretera un visitante... y sobre el despeñadero se ve gente al filo del canion, desde donde tome la foto.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6lyaQp88B7c/Sdh4JA1o1mI/AAAAAAAAAGk/Ou5ghcjX-kE/s1600-h/Zion.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 177px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6lyaQp88B7c/Sdh4JA1o1mI/AAAAAAAAAGk/Ou5ghcjX-kE/s400/Zion.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321135055977371234" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6lyaQp88B7c/SdhvyjgHZDI/AAAAAAAAAGE/UT9z_MQNq9E/s1600-h/HPIM2677.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 241px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6lyaQp88B7c/SdhvyjgHZDI/AAAAAAAAAGE/UT9z_MQNq9E/s320/HPIM2677.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321125874052326450" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ya para el momento en que fue tomada la foto de arriba habiamos pasado la parte extenuante del paseo. La Ritonga estaba llena de vitalidad y de ansias por llegar a la sima. Pese a que estuvimos casi dos dias, lo cierto es que solo recorrimos la parte turistica del canion (la mas pequenia). La historia para los que tienen animo, equipo, y un permiso del parque (que no es dificil de conseguir en temporada baja), es que pueden internarse en el corazon de Zion. Este ultimo sin veredas aparentes y con paisajes igual de impresionantes. Aqui les pongo la senda que hay que caminar para internarse y pasearse por dicho sitio. La recomendacion que recibimos de la gente del parque fue la de no ir alla, pues necesitabamos equipo de ski por la cantidad de nieve que aun habia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6lyaQp88B7c/SdhhHn-RQOI/AAAAAAAAAFk/JUysmX53qpQ/s1600-h/HPIM2688.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 241px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6lyaQp88B7c/SdhhHn-RQOI/AAAAAAAAAFk/JUysmX53qpQ/s320/HPIM2688.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321109743355379938" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lo interesante del asunto (aun mas!!), es que el canion se estrecha hacia un extremo. Es decir, si caminas rio arriba, en la vereda mostrada en la foto de anterior, llegas a una parte donde con los brazos extendidos puedes tocar las dos grandes paredes del canion. Dandole credito a Michael Claypool and Sasha Davies por la siguiente foto, ahi les dejo una vista de como se ve por alla "arriba". Les pongo enseguida otra llendo hacia el otro extremo del canion para contrastar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6lyaQp88B7c/SdhpHupqV5I/AAAAAAAAAFs/fov6W6YLm4s/s1600-h/narrows.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6lyaQp88B7c/SdhpHupqV5I/AAAAAAAAAFs/fov6W6YLm4s/s320/narrows.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321118541241014162" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6lyaQp88B7c/Sdh0w02iFQI/AAAAAAAAAGc/dtvDrF3iHkQ/s1600-h/SR022666.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 176px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6lyaQp88B7c/Sdh0w02iFQI/AAAAAAAAAGc/dtvDrF3iHkQ/s400/SR022666.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321131341908153602" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ritonguita quedo tan entuciasmada que la tuve que persuadir de no subir ese mismo dia las demas cimas... que se esperara por favor a la otra visita!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6lyaQp88B7c/Sdhq7SJNMiI/AAAAAAAAAF0/cLTIMNteX4M/s1600-h/HPIM2643.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 241px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6lyaQp88B7c/Sdhq7SJNMiI/AAAAAAAAAF0/cLTIMNteX4M/s320/HPIM2643.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321120526453518882" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6lyaQp88B7c/SdhtLhBWTpI/AAAAAAAAAF8/v4lEHTfhAxU/s1600-h/HPIM2625.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 241px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6lyaQp88B7c/SdhtLhBWTpI/AAAAAAAAAF8/v4lEHTfhAxU/s320/HPIM2625.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321123004348255890" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Asi nos despedimos del parque...

Esta ultima dejo sentir por que el termino &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;nieve polvorienta&lt;/span&gt; es tan apreciado: da la sensacion de pisar las mismas nubes.

Snowbird no es el sitio al que normalmente asisten los principiantes (como nosotros). Sin embargo Jimbo potencio nuestra pericia y nos llevo precisamente a este canion en aras de la diversion. Asi no tendriamos que lidiar con esas aburridas colinas para pricipiantes!. -Esas (colinas) estan hechas para que se aburran los principiantes con ellas- dijo. -Nosotros nos vamos directo a la diversion!- completo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Por lo pronto ahi les dejo una imagen de como se ven las escaleras en las rockies, ambas, las de subida y las de bajada.

Me pregunto, de donde vebdra toda esa lana a la Ciencia en los paises del 1er mundo?. Como esta Mexico en este sentido?. Sabemos intuitivamente que mal, pero, ?que tan mal?. Y la razon por la cual podemos afirmar que no andamos muy bien, es que el conocimiento de las universidades no permea a la sociedad. Como afirmo esto ultimo?, pues porque tomando un ciudadano al azar en mi colonia (el catorce, Ver.), este no sabe de que se trata ir a la universidad. En suma, la gente en el pais no tiene conocimientos especializados y esto limita su competitividad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Claro, aquellos que vivan en la Ciudad de Mexico diran que esto no es del todo cierto. No obstante sobra recordar que Mexico vive un centralismo en muchos flancos, la educacion aqui no es la excepcion. Aqui les pongo una tabla de como andamos (Mexico) en numeros frente a varios vecinos de todo el globo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6lyaQp88B7c/SZaQe5LDJGI/AAAAAAAAADU/aQW3zlCzPWY/s1600-h/ata.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 154px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6lyaQp88B7c/SZaQe5LDJGI/AAAAAAAAADU/aQW3zlCzPWY/s320/ata.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5302584471692977250" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hay varias cosas que observar en esta tabla. Una inmediata es que el financiamiento publico hace posible la mitad de la ciencia de Mexico, mientras que en el pais vecino EU, el gobierno pone solamente 30%. Podremos imaginar de que tamanio es la infraestructura cientifica de este ultimo pais, por el hecho que solamente aportando el 30% del billete, esta lana redunda en el 2.62% del producto interno bruto. Si, ese mounstroso PIB mas grande del mundo. Todo esto redunda en que Mexico tenga 0.6 invetigadores en el sector privado y 0.6 en el academico, mientras que EU tenga 7.5 y 2.0 respectivamente (multiplequen por 1000 para obtener el numero real). Asi, dado que la lana para la ciencia en EU, no solo sale de los bolsillos de los contribuyentes, los cientificos tienen chamba, ademas de en las universidades, en las empresas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Entonces, podemos cuestionar solo al estado de no poner mas lana a la ciencia en Mexico? o las empresas tambien juegan?. Mirar el caso de Brasil, donde el estado pone el 60% del dinero de la ciencia y el financiamiento estatal no lo hace un pais mas competitivo. Me pregunto, si podemos senialar que mientras el billete lo aporte el estado, la ciencia se queda dentro de las aulas de las univesidades? De ser asi, la solucion para la falta de ciencia en Mexico tampoco seria meter y meter lana publica al asunto. La cosa es que el conocimiento que se genera en la universidad tambien salga de la universidad, que salga a las calles, aqui es donde las empresas juegan. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Por ultimo, para quienes se pregunten como estamos de centralizados, en cuanto a educacion superior respecta, 50% del billete del CONACyT va al DF y 6% al EDO MEX (su competidor mas cercano). Y dentro de la centralizacion: 4,500 estudiantes de la UNAM estan con CONACyT por 800 de IPN y 1200 CINVESTAV. El CONACyT reporta una matricula (nacional) de 10,000 becarios, saquen entonces sus cuentas. Lo que podemos concluir aqui, es que los de la UNAM tienen acaparados todos los puestos de poder en el CONACYT verdad?!. En fin, no solamente hace falta que las catedras de la UNAM salgan a las calles, si no que salgan tambien del Distrito Federal, esto ultimo de la mano de personas, estado y empresas, para que la ciencia de verdad aporte bienestar a la sociedad a lo largo y ancho de Mexico y podamos entrarle al juego de la competitividad a nivel mundial. Menudo trabajo para CONACyT y Co.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*fuente: CONACyT y Presidencia de la Republica.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7124260034368785484-5868672274151653684?l=csar-lozano.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://csar-lozano.blogspot.com/feeds/5868672274151653684/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7124260034368785484&amp;postID=5868672274151653684' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7124260034368785484/posts/default/5868672274151653684'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7124260034368785484/posts/default/5868672274151653684'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://csar-lozano.blogspot.com/2009/02/ciencia-desde-el-conacyt.html' title='La Ciencia para todos'/><author><name>Csar</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15354791932406226040</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6lyaQp88B7c/SQFrd22NDyI/AAAAAAAAABY/jn_qpWmnQBU/S220/HPIM2381.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6lyaQp88B7c/SZaQe5LDJGI/AAAAAAAAADU/aQW3zlCzPWY/s72-c/ata.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7124260034368785484.post-4687717541527097999</id><published>2009-02-12T22:26:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-03-07T01:31:57.875-08:00</updated><title type='text'>The greatest snow on earth</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6lyaQp88B7c/SZUXQOrcacI/AAAAAAAAACs/n7xWzLR21ko/s1600-h/Utah.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6lyaQp88B7c/SZUXQOrcacI/AAAAAAAAACs/n7xWzLR21ko/s320/Utah.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5302169703884286402" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;La nieve mas chida sobre la tierra!.&lt;br /&gt;Asi va el eslogan del estado de la iglesia de los santos de los ultimos dias, mejor conocidos como mormones, estado de Utah. Suena a un anuncio mas de entre muchos que circulan por aqui, Salt lake City, pero cuando te das una asomada y de verdad miras que se ve mas o menos como el la foto, se le quita lo  pedante al anuncio y te quedas con la boca abierta. El mote responde a que el estado de Utah es principalmente arido, eso le da una consistencia &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;polvorienta&lt;/span&gt; a la nieve! este hecho parece poco importante, pero es una maravilla zambullirse en la nieve y no terminar mojado y con frio cuando esta se derrite sobre tu ropa: era solo polvo!.&lt;br /&gt;La cosa se pone mucho mejor cuando te plantas arriba de ese par de eskis y le das duro a las colinas con nieve. Aqui les pongo un par de "jpg's" de como se viven las estaciones por estas latitudes y de que profundidad (2m) es el colchon de nieve sobre el que te deslizas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6lyaQp88B7c/SZUsCF9of2I/AAAAAAAAAC0/EqEaVgxRpg8/s1600-h/Snieve.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6lyaQp88B7c/SZUsCF9of2I/AAAAAAAAAC0/EqEaVgxRpg8/s320/Snieve.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5302192550770671458" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La cosa dura de digerir son los 100 dolarucos que cuestan las caidas en la nieve en estas colinas.

Los que saben del asunto, presumen que si todos nos ponemos a ahorrar como rico mac pato, lo mas seguro es que los problemas arriben antes de que podamos ver ese cuarto de monedas...Se acuerdan!!?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6lyaQp88B7c/SQwEUP0-axI/AAAAAAAAACc/GG3fpYNA6EI/s1600-h/pato.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 253px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6lyaQp88B7c/SQwEUP0-axI/AAAAAAAAACc/GG3fpYNA6EI/s320/pato.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5263586810381888274" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;?Como?... ?ahorrar es malo?...Pues si todos lo hacemos simultaneamente, en tiempos de crisis, al parecer la respuesta es: SI . Ahora el punto es que creen eso este pasando en el "gabo" ahora con la crisis. La gente esta ahorrando! un habito al parecer muy raro entre los americanos del norte.&lt;br /&gt;En palabras de este chico, Krugman  (que en Estocolmo dicen que sabe mucho):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"To appreciate the significance of these numbers (el ahorro de los gabos), you need to know that American consumers almost never cut spending. Consumer demand kept rising right through the 2001 recession.&lt;br /&gt;So this looks like the beginning of a very big change in consumer behavior. And it couldn’t have come at a worse time."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El argumento de la paradoja, entonces, va en la direccion de que el ahorro masivo, en tiempo de crisis detiene el flujo de "billete" y esto genera que las empresas y los servicios se aletargen. Peor aun, los ingresos, debido a esto, podria bajar, y asi la cosa empeorar antes de mejorar!. A esta cosa le llaman "paradoja del ahorro".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La moraleja del asunto podria ser... seguir gastando en cosas que sean de verdadera, de verdadera necesidad!!?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6lyaQp88B7c/SQwAUS0GWiI/AAAAAAAAACU/rU5nG72mAIc/s1600-h/money.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 244px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6lyaQp88B7c/SQwAUS0GWiI/AAAAAAAAACU/rU5nG72mAIc/s320/money.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5263582413137009186" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7124260034368785484-6004299727266431137?l=csar-lozano.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://csar-lozano.blogspot.com/feeds/6004299727266431137/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7124260034368785484&amp;postID=6004299727266431137' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7124260034368785484/posts/default/6004299727266431137'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7124260034368785484/posts/default/6004299727266431137'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://csar-lozano.blogspot.com/2008/10/paradoja-del-ahorro.html' title='Paradoja del ahorro..!?'/><author><name>Csar</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15354791932406226040</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6lyaQp88B7c/SQFrd22NDyI/AAAAAAAAABY/jn_qpWmnQBU/S220/HPIM2381.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6lyaQp88B7c/SQwEUP0-axI/AAAAAAAAACc/GG3fpYNA6EI/s72-c/pato.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7124260034368785484.post-2903410309136880036</id><published>2008-10-23T22:06:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-23T23:14:58.639-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Road across some mathematics</title><content type='html'>Mathematics isn't just about answering questions; even more so, it is about asking the right questions, and that skill is a difficult one to reach. However I am working on a specific strategy: starting with small toy problems and investigate the nature of examples. As much as I can.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, I will include such example here for sure. There will be a problem with the mathematical notation, but I'll see how I can work it out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is an appetizer. Imagine a pendulum clock. The overall accuracy of such clock can be no better than the adjustment of the pendulum, which requires continual intervention. But for  subsidiary timekeeping functions there is another kind of error one need to deal with. Even if the mean time is exact will the solar indicator keep pace correctly? The answer depends on how well celestial motions can be approximated by the arithmetic of the rational numbers. I mean, gear ratios. For example the day is 23 hours, 56minutes, 4.09053 second whereas the mean solar day is exactly 24 hours (by definition!). Therefore, question here is (not the only one of course) can we work this problem out with gear ratios really? well, It seems to me there are plenty of examples of this achievement (Strasburg great clock for instance). Moreover, if the rational numbers do the job most of the time, then where and how do the irrational number show up? I was wondering if this kind of numbers (they do exist right!?) was definitely one of the first steps of mathematical abstraction. Let me think about it.....Csar&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7124260034368785484-2903410309136880036?l=csar-lozano.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://csar-lozano.blogspot.com/feeds/2903410309136880036/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7124260034368785484&amp;postID=2903410309136880036' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7124260034368785484/posts/default/2903410309136880036'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7124260034368785484/posts/default/2903410309136880036'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://csar-lozano.blogspot.com/2008/10/road-across-some-mathematics.html' title='Road across some mathematics'/><author><name>Csar</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15354791932406226040</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6lyaQp88B7c/SQFrd22NDyI/AAAAAAAAABY/jn_qpWmnQBU/S220/HPIM2381.JPG'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry></feed>
