Hello Prof Petrovic,
I'm Jojo, a math undergrad at cornell. I am wondering: Is there a closed form solution for the beta-model MLE?
Thanks for your help, Jojo P.s. I wake up every day thinking about algebra in statistics, your work is inspiring.
awesome
equation like [system of equations (6) here](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1407.1004.pdf).

Hi Professor Saloff-Coste,
Attached is a scan of my project. I will drop off the hard copy at your office later today.
I desire your thoughts and feedback on this project. Would that be possible? You can write directly on the hard copy if you like. Feel free to tear it apart (not in the physical sense), I do not take criticism personally. Positive feedback would also be helpful.
Thank you for the opportunity to do this project (it also helped distract me the past couple of days), I hope you enjoy it. I am sorry that it is not "polished", I was more focused on content.
Sincerely,
Jojo

*hard copy MIA*
asked: do you think math is created or discovered?
answered: uhhh *pause* i'm not sure
*received a 20 minute lecture on that math is discovered and one does not "just create math"*
*thanked Prof. Saloff-Coste for his feedback*
Hi!
(Very separate from my other email) I want your help. These things interest me and you know a lot about them. I think it would be fun to explore and create with you. In particular, the analysis/number theory using roots of 1. (If you think it's all useless that would be good to know, too).
Best,
Jojo
