The 10 DM “Gauss” note

"I was so impressed many years back when I first saw the formalism of the Gaussian distribution, adjacent the bust of its inventor, on the obverse of a 10 Deutch Mark bank note. Such a great thing for a country to honor and memorialize its scholars this way.

I later learned that featuring scholars on currency is not that unusual worldwide. When asked which scholar I would most like to see on a bank note, I mentioned Leonhard Euler, a celebrated Swiss mathematician. Turns out there is a 10 Francs banknote (Swiss 1979) with Euler on the obverse, as well as a 2 Rubles coin (Russia 2007) and a commemorative postage stamp (Germany 1983). The coin actually has Euler’s equation for finding the value of from the sum of reciprocal squares!"

I get great satisfaction in applying my experience from a 40+ year career, combined with my enthusiasm for problem solving, to the challenges that my clients face. Many of my clients do not staff technologists, statisticians, reliability and product qualification engineers. These are competencies where there can be a great benefit working with me and my associates.
