<br>
A few days ago, I sent an e-mail personally to Markus Schulze to ask him some information about himself, as the popularization article I am currently writing deals with his eponymous method and it would be far better if I could link the concepts explained to alive, real people. But Markus did not answer to me, probably because he does not check his e-mail box very often, or because my e-mail was taken for spam. As I am very late (the article is to appear on next Friday!), I do not have the time to wait any more for Makus' answer, so I write to all of you to ask for the desired information.<br>
<br>
Below are the questions I asked to Markus [*]. If one of you does know one or several answers, please send them to me.<br>
<br>
«<br>
</font></font>- Which country are you from?
<br>
- When were you born? (and thus how old were you when you devised your
method)<br>
- What are you doing for a job now?<br>
- And what were you doing for a job when you devised your method?<br>
- Could you say a few words on the context in which you proposed your
new idea: what was your goal, why were you interested in questions about
the mathematics of democracy, what was the heuristics you followed, etc.?
<br>
- Could you send me a photograph of you? (either contemporary, or from
the time you devised your method: bouth would be fine).<font size="2"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><br>
»<br>
<br>
[*] Concerning the photograph, you may send one to me if you do have one, but I could not use it without Markus' authorization (anyhow, it could save some time if Markus aswered at the very last minute).<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance!<br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>
Rémi Peyre<br>
