Math/information systems background?
Gordon,
I've often wondered how strong your math/information systems background is every since your Iowa/Dairyland period. I will understand if you don't respond to the question. Unfortunately, my math/probability theory/regression analysis skills are almost non-existant, yet I enjoy systems analysis.
Really like your recent blogs.
Thanks charlie k
Math background
Hi, Charlie!
Thanks for your comment! I started college back in 1973 as a physics major, but later changed into business and computer science. I made my living as a computer systems analyst until the early 80's. My wife, Renee, is also a systems analyst. My teenage son is about to start a probability and statistics course, so I'm about to get a refresher there!

Gordon couple of question I
Gordon couple of question I noticed that on Gulf the break charts all of the arrows point on way or the other either to the rail or out side never any straight ahead at other tracks this is not the case how can this be .Second what do the number mean in the columns example brk average 4.60 I know lower is better but but what does it represent distance , time,or what. Thanks my win ratio has been greatly improved due to your Stat attack
