I'm a big fan of the game of Bridge. Here are some notes (pdf, dvi, ps) which describe the American Standard system to beginners. They are most useful as a reference during the game, and when used to instruct that fourth player who's willing to learn Bridge but has no idea how to play...
Some Romanian organizations I have close ties with:
- Doctoral School of Finance and Banking (DOFIN) at the Romanian Academy of Economic Studies (ASE). This has a Master of Science program, at the end of which students present their dissertations before an examination committee. I have been a member of this committee since 2000. The dissertations usually apply some economic or financial theory to the context of Romania. Most dissertations are in the area of macroeconomics and banking, with only about a third of them in finance.
- Romanian Students Association at MIT (RSA). I was involved in it almost since the beginning (Jan '95), and I even was their president during 2000-01. However, I am most proud for setting up their current webpage. Here are some links from this webpage: Romania, student associations, travel agencies, nice pictures of monuments, folk art, etc.
- Asociatia Tinerilor pentru Actiune Civica (ATAC). I happened to be classmates in college with the two coordinators of this organization, so I got involved in it from the beginning. One of ATAC's many projects is to set up an Ecole Normale Superieure, after the French model. The project is ongoing, check out its webpage.
