The Mathematics of the new Economy...


... or as we say in Greece, "To afentiko trellathike". Or maybe not?
I just booked a return flight from London to Berlin for 25 Euros. And this is in less than a month in advance, during the Berlinale period when the prices are supposed to launch at new heights. The reason behind these ridiculous prices is a mathematical model called "Price Discrimination". And then some people say that Mathematics isn't behind everything... they are just jealous of us...
