"Johannes Kepler" is a biographical film that focuses on the life and contributions of the renowned 17th-century mathematician and astronomer Johannes Kepler. The film explores Kepler's groundbreaking work in the field of astronomy, particularly his laws of planetary motion, which laid the foundation for modern celestial mechanics.
Matching pennies is a simple two-player game used in game theory to illustrate concepts of strategy and mixed strategies. ### Game Setup: - Each player has a penny and must simultaneously choose to display either heads (H) or tails (T). - The players reveal their choices at the same time. ### Outcomes: - If both players match (i.e., both choose heads or both choose tails), one player wins (usually designated as Player 1).
John Horton Conway (1937–2020) was a renowned British mathematician known for his work in various areas of mathematics, including combinatorial game theory, number theory, and coding theory. He is perhaps best known for inventing the "Game of Life," a cellular automaton that simulates the evolution of cellular patterns based on simple rules. The Game of Life has fascinated mathematicians and computer scientists alike, serving as an example of how complex behaviors can arise from simple rules.
John Lucas is a British philosopher known for his work in the philosophy of mind and the philosophy of mathematics. He was born on May 14, 1934. Lucas is particularly known for his discussions on the implications of Gödel's incompleteness theorems, which he has used to argue against the possibility of a purely mechanical mind.
The term "Pirate Game" can refer to various games that involve pirate themes or elements. Here are a few interpretations: 1. **Pirate Video Games**: This includes a wide variety of video games that feature pirates, such as "Sea of Thieves," "Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag," and the "Pirates!" series. These games often involve exploration, treasure hunting, ship battles, and adventure in a pirate-themed environment.
John Worrall is a prominent British philosopher of science known for his work in the philosophy of mathematics and the philosophy of science, particularly in the areas of scientific explanation and the nature of scientific theories. He is especially noted for his contributions to the understanding of scientific realism and anti-realism, as well as his analyses of theories in scientific practice.
Juliet Floyd is a philosopher known for her work in the fields of philosophy of mathematics, philosophy of logic, and the intersections of mathematics with other areas of philosophy, including epistemology and the philosophy of language. She has contributed to discussions on the nature of mathematical objects, proof, and the role of mathematical practices in shaping our understanding of mathematical knowledge. Floyd has been associated with prominent academic institutions and has published various articles and papers on these topics.

Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.
Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!
Intro to OurBigBook
. Source. We have two killer features:
- topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculusArticles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
- a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
- a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.
