The present document represents an initial effort at an entirely new type of United Nations report. As such, it comprises the first step up a steep learning curve.

The learning curve was very long.

There'd be virtually no learning curve.

It's on very steep ground.

They've just reached a steep cliff.

But that basic math accounts both for the steep slope and for the long, flat tail.

Well, this gets rid of that, because this is a habituation Gaussian that gets negative, and more and more intense as it looks at one thing.

The path zigzagged up the steep slope.

They're too steep and rickety. They ought to be fixed.

Like the road in front of my house, on a steep hill. Every day, I watch the cars climbing up.

But we got a clean learning curve, almost exactly the same as what you would get in a school.

And you'll notice that on the left, on the left, on the west, it's very steep, and on the right it's gentle.

We do not know how to handle the fiscal issues posed by the financial crisis. Doubts about the sustainability of government debt produce sudden surges in interest rates, as risk premia rise dramatically with perceptions of the likelihood of default.

Calculus is also a mathematics of curves.

A review of the international community's contribution to managing post conflict situations shows that there has been a true learning curve.

I'd go to Central Park and see the rolling topography of Central Park come up against the abrupt and sheer topography of midtown Manhattan.
