I have been going through the book myself, having never taken probability, statistics, combinatorics, past the high school level. I’m studying to be a mathematician, so I decided to fix that my reading Jaynes on Eliezer’s recommendation. I had an electronic edition, and just got the paper edition a couple days ago. I have a one week vacation starting now, so this will probably occupy a large fraction of it.
I’ve spent probably 15-30 hours in the last two weeks on it, but I’ve been having trouble with the problems (which is unusual for me), and was looking for a study group. I didn’t think it was appropriate for Less Wrong (clearly not true!) and I found someone locally.
I would be happy to talk with other members online. I’ve never used Google Wave, but people can contact me via email or instant messenger until I get the hang of it. My throwaway is ‘lispalien’ on Yahoo! Messenger, or you can get another IM handle by contacting me any which way, including a private message here.
