| Speaking about world or US university rankings. For example, it will be interesting to investigate a metric called administrators-faculty ratio
or administrator-student ratio in addition to faculty-student ratio. You know that these days, universities are spending a lot of money that is not related to improving education. How will the rankings go if we add that kind of parameter ? We can still use rudimentary statistics. I am not sure about whether we have the data about the number of administrators for every university. Alfa |

Olympic swimmer problem
- Richard -> The Olympic swimmer problem sounds interesting, but probably requires too much fluid mechanics,
and fluid mechanics is harder than general relativity. (That's the claim of applied mathematicians who work in fluid mechanics.) But if Donghui and/or Sigal is willing to mentor the problem, it will be fine.
