I am a former Senior Manager of Software Development at Amazon, where I managed the development of the amazon.com content selection and delivery software (i.e. Amabot). I also invented, designed, and developed the engineering of Amazon.com's behaviorial-targeted third-party display advertising product.

Favorite Math Equation

$\left({\frac {1}{v(E)}}{\frac {\partial }{\partial t}}+\mathbf {\hat {\Omega }} \cdot \nabla +\Sigma _{t}(\mathbf {r} ,E,t)\right)\psi (\mathbf {r} ,E,\mathbf {\hat {\Omega }} ,t)=\quad$

$\quad {\frac {\chi _{p}\left(E\right)}{4\pi }}\int _{0}^{\infty }dE^{\prime }\nu _{p}\left(E^{\prime }\right)\Sigma _{f}\left(\mathbf {r} ,E^{\prime },t\right)\phi \left(\mathbf {r} ,E^{\prime },t\right)+\sum _{i=1}^{N}{\frac {\chi _{di}\left(E\right)}{4\pi }}\lambda _{i}C_{i}\left(\mathbf {r} ,t\right)+\quad$

$\quad \int _{4\pi }d\Omega ^{\prime }\int _{0}^{\infty }dE^{\prime }\,\Sigma _{s}(\mathbf {r} ,E^{\prime }\rightarrow E,\mathbf {\hat {\Omega }} ^{\prime }\rightarrow \mathbf {\hat {\Omega }} ,t)\psi (\mathbf {r} ,E^{\prime },\mathbf {{\hat {\Omega }}^{\prime }} ,t)+s(\mathbf {r} ,E,\mathbf {\hat {\Omega }} ,t)$

Symbol	Meaning	Comments
$\mathbf {r}$	Position vector (i.e. x,y,z)
$E$	Energy
$\mathbf {\hat {\Omega }} ={\frac {\mathbf {v} (E)}{|\mathbf {v} (E)|}}={\frac {\mathbf {v} (E)}{v(E)}}$	Unit vector (solid angle) in direction of motion

$\nu _{p}$	Average number of neutrons produced per fission (e.g., 2.43 for U-235).
$\chi _{p}(E)$	Probability density function for neutrons of exit energy $E$ from all neutrons produced by fission
$\chi _{di}(E)$	Probability density function for neutrons of exit energy $E$ from all neutrons produced by delayed neutron precursors
$\Sigma _{t}(\mathbf {r} ,E,t)$	Macroscopic total cross section, which includes all possible interactions
$\Sigma _{f}(\mathbf {r} ,E^{\prime },t)$	Macroscopic fission cross section, which includes all fission interactions in $dE^{\prime }$ about $E^{\prime }$
