comment $XX^t=A$, $X=?$. Where $X \in \{0,1\}^{n \times m}$
Is your constraint that $\sum_{j=1}^{m}x_{ij}=2$ for the $3\times3$ case, or in general?

comment Finding a constant k such that P(X+Y) = 0.05
+1. I tried the double integration way and kept getting stuck on my limits of integration (Il-Bhima's solution is basically what I tried to do). Drawing a pic of the problem is often a useful trick to try -- it can really simplify the problem.

I retract my answer and point you towards: www-stat.stanford.edu/~susan/courses/s116/node114.html The way I wrote it should work, but there was something subtle I was missing.

comment $\frac{d}{dx}(b^TAx)$ where $b, x \in R^{n\times 1}$ and $A \in R^{n\times n}$
Wikipedia's article on Matrix calculus may help with the definition of vector derivatives.

comment biased Maximum Likelihood estimation
MLEs are not required to be unbiased. I'm confused as to what you're asking.

revised L'Hôpital's rule in real analysis
Converted his math to LaTeX. Added limit tag as its a limit question.

comment What is the relationship of $\mathcal{L}_1$ (total variation) distance to hypothesis testing?
It's an Asymptotics course taught by Mark Low. No textbook, though. We basically discuss a lot of the research he's done in the last 15 or so years, so his publications would be the equivalent of the course textbook.
