CSC-PIMS Seminar: Richard Lockhart

David Blackwell preferred to write short, direct papers dissecting
problems cleanly and showing the rest of us why things have to be the
way they are. I plan to talk about David's life, describe a few of the
things he is famous for (Markov Chains, Renewal Theory, the
Rao-Blackwell theorem, information theory, game theory and measure
theory at least) and maybe prove one or two little things to
illustrate his style -- in so far as I can.
