David Quigg: Malcolm Gladwell and the Case For Endless Self-Googling
“It came as a result of his dissatisfaction with the quantum condition in Bohr's orbit theory and his belief that atomic spectra should really be determined by some kind of eigenvalue problem.”
“An '' 'eigenvalue' '' of a square [[matrix]] A is a [[complex number]]”
“This is in reference to a faulty transcription of "eigenvalue" Gladwell makes in an article about Nassim Taleb.”
“Realistically, Pinker would have bludgeoned Gladwell with something else if he'd corrected the spelling of "eigenvalue" in time for the book.”
“eigenvalue" in time to deny Pinker the mocking bludgeon of the "Igon Value Problem.”
“Transcendental equations came up many times as mathematical physics developed — especially in boundary value and eigenvalue problems.”

“Reviewing What The Dog Saw for the New York Times, Pinker slapped Gladwell like this: He ... quotes an expert speaking about an \ "igon value\" (that\'s eigenvalue, a basic concept in linear algebra).”
