Rogemar Mamon is a astronomy topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Rogemar Mamon rather than just read about it. In short: Rogemar Sombong Mamon, is a Canadian mathematician, quant, and academic. He is a co-editor of the IMA Journal of Management Mathematics published by Oxford University Press since 2009.

Key takeaways

Rogemar Mamon belongs to astronomy; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Rogemar Mamon to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Rogemar Mamon from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Rogemar Sombong Mamon, is a Canadian mathematician, quant, and academic. He is a co-editor of the IMA Journal of Management Mathematics published by Oxford University Press since 2009. Mamon is known for his contributions to the developments and applications of regime-switching framework useful in economic, financial and actuarial modeling. Majority of his works promote regime-switching paradigms modulated by either discrete- or continuous-time hidden Markov models (HMM). A recurrent theme of his research is dynamic parameter estimation via HMM filtering recursions. He also made contributions in the areas of derivative pricing, asset allocation, risk measurement, filtering to remove noise from data as well as inverse problems in quantitative finance. He was the lead editor of the handbook Hidden Markov Models in Finance, published by Springer. In 2010, he and two co-authors won the Society of Actuaries Award for the Best Paper published in the North American Actuarial Journal. Since 2006, he has taught, conducted research and held administrative roles at the University of Western Ontario, and garnered recognitions for excellence in teaching and research. Previously, he held academic positions at Brunel University, London, UK; University of British Columbia; University of Waterloo; and University of Alberta. He spent short-term research visits at several institutions including the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences, University of Cambridge, England; Maxwell Institute for Mathematical Sciences, Scotland; Centre for Mathematical Physics and Stochastics, University of Aarhus, Denmark; Institute for Mathematics and its Applications, University of Minnesota, USA; University of Adelaide, Australia; University of Wollongong in New South Wales, Australia; and Centro de Investigacion en Matematicas, Mexico. Mamon holds professional designations conferred by various British learned societies. He is a Fellow and Chartered Mathematician of the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications; Chartered Scientist of the Science Council; and Fellow of the Higher Education Academy. He is also a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts and the Royal Statistical Society, and was an elected member of the London Mathematical Society. He began PhD studies in Mathematical Finance at the University of Alberta, and completed his dissertation during a research visit at the University of Adelaide, Australia. He was supervised by Robert J. Elliott.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Rogemar Mamon

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Rogemar Mamon claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In astronomy, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Rogemar Mamon before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Rogemar Mamon ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Rogemar Mamon

In research: Rogemar Mamon appears in astronomy research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Rogemar Mamon in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Rogemar Mamon is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Academic staff of the University of Western Ontario, Canadian mathematicians, Canadian people of Filipino descent, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Rogemar Mamon outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
