SnoopJeDi: how are you constructing the corrections given the inverse?

<bofh>
I ask this b/c as a general rule when you are trying to "invert" you actually want to "solve" (i.e. backsubstitution followed by forward substitution), and likewise I suspect that you probably want a derived property of the pseudoinverse (such as solving some overdetermined system subject to some inequality constraints, for instance).

bofh: wow you have two copies in the main stacks! there's only one in zurich
<egg>
(other copies in basel, freiburg, and bern though)
<bofh>
hey the UI main stacks are *great*, easily one of my fav places on campus to spend time in. :P
<egg>
bofh: freiburg knows the author's first name too, Leemans, Wilhelmus F.
<bofh>
Not surprised, that's an extremely Germanic name (seems Dutch but not sure???)
<egg>
oh they have three copies in freiburg? two for local use, in the 25/29 Orientalisches Seminar and 25/81 Institut für Rechtsgeschichte u. Geschichtliche Rechtsvergleichung, and one for order in closed stacks in 25 UB Freiburg
<egg>
Basel and Bern have one copy each

bofh: clearly I should do the DF thing, go to the fourth underground with scrolls and copy the book
<UmbralRaptop>
egg: Hah!
<bofh>
egg: that sounds like effort, maybe use a photocopier instead? :P
<egg>
bofh: so the NEBIS thing actually allows me to order a copy so if I want to copy bits I can do that
<egg>
bofh: I used one of the NEBIS libraries (the ETH one) to read Moderne Algebra before I went to ETHZ (I didn't actually use it while at ETHZ, since I was often looking for papers that were either digitized and accessible either openly or through ETHZ or things that existed only in a faraway library in a distant land)
<egg>
bofh: (I was reading Moderne Algebra because Marc Burger suggested that to learn German)
<egg>
bofh: I certainly learned some words, e.g. eineindeutig, which nobody uses anymore because German now uses the bourbachic bijektiv :-p
