I’ll try to buy my copy of beerkada later at Glorietta. 
After Louis Leithold, another famous mathematician died this year.
George Dantzig, the inventor of the Simplex method for solving Linear Programming problems, died on May 13. He was also the now-legendary student who turned in solutions for what he had taken to be a homework assignment, only to find out they had been posted as examples of what were suspected to be unsolvable problems.
The story goes like this:
George Danzig, while studying in college, was bored by his math classes. He walked up to the professor and said, “My classes are too easy!” The professor looked at him, and said, “Well, I’m sure you’ll find this interesting.” Then the professor copied 9 problems from a book to a paper and gave the paper to Danzig. A month later, the professor ran into Danzig, “So how are you doing with the problems I gave you?” “Oh, they are very hard. I only managed to solve 6 of them.” The professor was visibly shocked, “What!? But those are unsolved problems!”
Many of you guys reading this will not know Dantzig but he’s one of the movers in the Operations Research field and somehow put me to where I am now.
Rest in pease Mr. Dantzig.
Third time to be at Dr. Manlapaz’ resthouse in Anilao. I was with Pen, Noims and Richard. This is first time to be there without Dr. M himself.
We were on our way as early as 6am Saturday and got to the place at around 9am. Brought our own foods and drinks. We went kayaking, snorkelling and WINDSURFING! I got to windsurf for about 15 mins only as I always loose my balance. Hehe.
There were lots of fishes when we went snorkelling. Unlike the other times we were there when fishes were scarce, this time everywhere you look you will surely see a school of fish passing by. Si Noemi, nagtuturo ng “Joker fish” sa spot nya, nalito ako kasi wala namang joker fish. Tapos sabi nya, “Si Nemo andito”. Clown fish pala yung sinasabi nya. Labo hehe.
Bitin lang talaga kapag overnight stay lang. Dapat at least 2 nights stay to really enjoy the place.
We’ll be uploading pics as soon as I got them from pen.
