Thank You for Reading


Statistics tells us that in 2013 about 45.000 pages were read in this blog (from about 110.000 since mid 2009).

This is because we provided even more views behind the curtain (Mathematics Wednesday and Physics Friday) and try now to share ideas every working day.

Not surprisingly, the number of page entries are led by MATHEMATICS and the post hit list shows the interest in the background and foreground of computational finance, the UnRisk Financial Language and advanced risk management approaches.

The most popular posts this year were not the best ones?

Like in music, movies, restaurants, …  "best" is rarely the same as "popular", but this year I find an interesting correlation between both.

We wish You a Prosperous 2014!
