Hi Jeff!

I'm writing to you from NY. It's been a busy couple of weeks looking for an apt. here (finally found something nice in the Upper East Side), working at Kinetic Trading (the hedge fund that uses machine learning and natural language processing to try and generate alpha from news and SEC filings) and starting school at Courant.

Courant's great! Teachers are really enthusiastic about teaching, and do a great job at it, which is a change... However I'm taking very basic courses right now (Algebra I, Topology I and Linear Algebra for Phd Students) because I wasn't sure what the standards are here and everybody at the institute said I should- and so far they're very easy and covering the very basics, so I'm not getting any real mental exercise yet. :) Hopefully this will change by next semester and I'll pick some more advanced material. Apparently we were prepared well in the Hebrew University of Jerusalem's Math dept.

I also find it intriguing that I could find no-one working on Set theory, Logic or Game Theory in courant - there are no courses at all in these subjects. It's too bad because I liked these as an undergrad, but at least they have great advanced Topology, Algebra and Probability courses, which I am very drawn to as well.

I just saw this, thought it might interest you since you did that dino hunt excursion: http://www.examiner.com/science-news-in-national/two-new-horned-dinosaur-species-discovered-utah

All the best,

Nimrod

Hi Jeff,

Ehud doesn't know yet (he and my mom are unreachable) but I just got a letter from NYU telling me I got in! I wanted to express my deepest gratitude for your effort in making this come true. This really was a dream of mine and I feel it is a big step for me in the way to achieve my goals. I really appreciate your advice and assistance esp. given the very short notice.

## Comgrats. Stuart Kaufman author (cont.)

Btw, you recommended a certain book discussing with machine learning to me during our call, and I thought the name I heard was "The Prediction Machine". But I must've gotten it wrong because I couldn't find it anywhere. Do you remember which book it was?

Thanks very much,
Nimrod Priell

## Hi Jeff,

Did you receive my e-mail to you with the transcripts and so forth? I just took the GRE this Friday, I got 800 in the quantitive part and 630 in the verbal part. Also, I've been introduced to Prof. Leslie Greengard, the director of the Courant institute of Mathematics, by Roger Ehrenberg who's the founder of the hedge fund I work for. I am havi

Thanks,
