“How to use Markov Chains to
become a billionaire\"

\"How the work of Andrei Markov
100 years ago made Larry Page
and Sergei Brin super rich\"

Who the hell are
Mathematicians?
Bean counters??

What is Mathematics?

What is one of the biggest problem
of the Internet?
• Too much information
• To be precise, too much
noise and little information

How to get some order out of this chaos?
• Some workarounds
• Mashup.
• Data Mining
• Business intelligence
• SAP acquires Business Object
• Oracle acquires Hyperion
• Efficient Frontier does strategic
Bidding.

Support Vector Machines(SVM):
• Performs Classification by
constructing N-dimensional
hyperplane that optimally separates
the data into 2 categories.

Some general idea of SocialRank Algorithm
• N-dimensional Hyperplane
• Hidden Markov Models.
• Natural Language Processing.
• -+ some secret sauce.

Powerset (NLP)
Intel(Evolutionary Algorithms)
Merril Lynch (Algorithmic trading)

Game Development
• Big opportunity for Indie Gamers.
(eg: PyGames)
•Casual Games
(eg: Magesco(for Wii)

Mathematics applied to games
