Cliff Jones is a computer scientist known for his contributions to the fields of software engineering, formal methods, and the development of programming languages. He has worked on topics related to software specification, verification, and the use of mathematical techniques in software development. Jones is also recognized for his research in the area of program semantics and the application of formal methods in ensuring software reliability.
Clifford Truesdell (1919–2000) was an American mathematician and physicist known for his foundational work in the fields of continuum mechanics and thermodynamics. He made significant contributions to the mathematical theory of material behavior, particularly in the areas of nonlinear elasticity and plasticity. Truesdell emphasized the importance of rigorous mathematical formulations in physical theories and was known for his efforts to formalize continuum mechanics using a mathematical language.
Climate refers to the long-term patterns and averages of weather conditions in a particular region over an extended period, typically decades to millions of years. It encompasses various elements such as temperature, humidity, precipitation, wind patterns, and the presence of weather phenomena. Unlike weather, which describes short-term atmospheric conditions, climate provides a broader perspective on what one can generally expect in a given area throughout the seasons and years.
Uniform spaces are a generalization of metric spaces that provide a framework for discussing notions of uniformity and convergence without necessarily relying on a notion of distance. The primary goal of uniform spaces is to formalize and study concepts such as uniform continuity, Cauchy sequences, and completeness in a more abstract setting. ### Definition A **uniform space** is defined using a pre-uniform structure.
C. S. Seshadri, or Chellathur Seshadri, was a prominent Indian mathematician known for his significant contributions to several areas of mathematics, particularly in algebraic geometry and its connections to number theory. He is best known for his work in the theory of moduli spaces and for the Seshadri constant, which is an important concept in the study of vector bundles and stability conditions.
KCNN4, also known as the potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily N member 4, is a gene that encodes a protein belonging to a family of ion channels. These types of ion channels are involved in various physiological processes, including the regulation of electrical activity in neurons and muscle cells, as well as modulation of various hormonal and neurotransmitter responses. KCNN4 specifically encodes a calcium-activated potassium channel, which means that its activity is stimulated by the presence of calcium ions.
"300B" can refer to different things depending on the context: 1. **300B Vacuum Tube**: In audio electronics, the 300B is a type of vacuum tube (valve) commonly used in high-fidelity audio amplifiers. It is known for its warm sound and is popular among audiophiles.

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.
