WeatherBill's Math Team is looking for a mathematician to join their team to help tackle a variety of interesting problems including the development of probabilistic climate models, application of statistical techniques to improve short range weather forecasts, pricing of unique financial instruments and much more.

You:

• Enjoy thinking outside the bell-curve
• Have experience with numerical software such as R, Matlab, Mathematica
• Thought (even briefly) that you had a shot at the Netflix Prize
• Earned an advanced degree from a reputable university
• Believe names such as Cholesky, Markov and Kolmogorov are commonplace
  

Pluses:

• Mastery of a programming language such as Python, Java, or Ruby
• Experience managing a small team

Weatherbill's Math Team knows what SVD and SVM stand for. When you say decomposition they think matrices not dirt, and, given a chance to play 'Let's Make a Deal', would always switch their choice of doors.  

If you think you might fit in with this team then please apply and provide the answer to the following problem in your cover letter:
