It seems that Wednesday is math day - and Sunday is not:<\/p>\n
Wednesday<\/p>\n
Time of Day<\/b><\/p>\n
My server is in Singapore, so these are Singapore times (0 is midnight, 12 is noon). For US times, subtract 12 hours (for New York) or 15 hours (for LA). For the east coast of Australia, add 2 hours.<\/p>\n
The low points (15 to 16), represent 3 AM to 4 AM in the US east coast.<\/p>\n

So much for the claim that IE7 is taking over the world. Since IE7 was released, Firefox penetration has increased on my sites.<\/p>\n
Anyone remember when Netscape was the winner in the browser wars?<\/p>\n
Who Are You?<\/h2>\n
A recent poll on the site indicated that for the 1000 who responded, <\/p>\n
95%: A math student
\n4%: A math instructor
\n2%: Just looking<\/div>\n
Actually, this is probably the ratio of mathematics students to mathematics instructors worldwide (about 25 to 1).<\/p>\n
The current poll<\/strong> says, in answer to the question \"Why are you here?\":<\/p>\n
Studying for an exam: 45%
\nDoing homework: 29%
