Elliptic curve over the rational numbers by Ciro Santilli 37 Updated +Created
Alice White was an American physicist known for her significant contributions to the fields of nuclear physics and radiochemistry. Born in 1900, she was one of the early female scientists in a predominantly male field, and she played an important role in the development of nuclear science. White is perhaps best known for her work at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission.
Alice Vrielink by Wikipedia Bot 0
Alice Vrielink may not be a widely recognized figure or concept as of my last training cut-off in October 2023. It's possible that she could be an emerging public figure, a private individual, or a character from a specific work of fiction, art, or media that has gained attention after that date.
Alice Burks by Wikipedia Bot 0
Alice Burks is a notable figure in the history of computer science, particularly recognized for her contributions to the development of early computing concepts and technologies. She was a key member of the team that worked on the ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer), one of the first general-purpose digital computers, during the 1940s.

Polyptoton by Wikipedia Bot 0
Polyptoton is a rhetorical device that involves the repetition of a word in different forms or grammatical cases within the same sentence or passage. This technique often emphasizes a particular concept or theme by showcasing the versatility of the word and its meanings. It can also create a pleasing rhythmic effect in the text.
Al-Ḥajjāj ibn Yūsuf ibn Maṭar is not a widely recognized historical figure, and it is possible that you might be referring to Al-Ḥajjāj ibn Yūsuf, a prominent figure in early Islamic history. Al-Ḥajjāj ibn Yūsuf al-Thaqafī (circa 661–714 CE) was a governor of Iraq during the Umayyad Caliphate.
Algorithmic probability is a concept in the field of algorithmic information theory that attempts to quantify the likelihood of a particular sequence or object being produced by a random process, specifically one modeled by a universal Turing machine. The idea is rooted in the principles of Kolmogorov complexity, which deals with the complexity of objects based on the shortest possible description (or program) that can generate them.
"Algebra Universalis" refers to a formal system developed by the mathematician George Boole in the mid-19th century, specifically in his work "The Laws of Thought" published in 1854. This system aimed to provide a universal framework for algebraic reasoning that could be applied beyond numeric calculations to include logic and set theory. Algebra Universalis generalizes traditional algebra, allowing for the manipulation of variables and logical statements.
A volcano plot is a type of scatter plot commonly used in bioinformatics and various fields of research, particularly in genomics and proteomics, to visualize the results of high-throughput experiments. It is especially useful for displaying the results of differential expression analyses, such as comparing gene or protein expression levels between two conditions (e.g., treated vs. control).
Galileo's Leaning Tower of Pisa experiment is an anecdotal account of a famous thought experiment demonstrating that the acceleration due to gravity is the same for all objects, regardless of their mass. The story suggests that Galileo dropped two spheres of different masses (often described as a heavier metal ball and a lighter wooden ball) from the Leaning Tower of Pisa in the late 16th century.
Algebraic surfaces are a central topic in algebraic geometry, a branch of mathematics that studies the solutions to polynomial equations and their geometric properties. Specifically, an algebraic surface is defined as the locus of points in three-dimensional space \(\mathbb{C}^3\) (or a projective space) that satisfy a polynomial equation in two variables, typically over the complex numbers \(\mathbb{C}\).
Algebraic Modeling Language (AML) refers to a high-level mathematical language used for formulating and solving optimization problems, typically in operations research, economics, and various fields of engineering and computer science. While there isn't a specific standard called "Algebraic Modeling Language," the term is often associated with several modeling languages that allow users to define variables, constraints, and objective functions in a way that resembles algebraic notation.
In the context of Wikipedia and other collaborative platforms, "stubs" refer to short articles that provide only a limited amount of information on a particular topic. An "Algebraic geometry stub" specifically pertains to a page related to algebraic geometry that is incomplete, lacking in detail, or requires expansion. Algebraic geometry is a field of mathematics that studies the solutions of systems of algebraic equations and their geometric properties.

Algebraic and Geometric Topology are two important branches of topology, a field of mathematics that studies the properties of space that are preserved under continuous transformations. ### Algebraic Topology Algebraic topology focuses on the study of topological spaces with algebraic methods. One of its primary goals is to associate algebraic structures (like groups or rings) with topological spaces in order to extract information about their shape, structure, and properties.

Pinned article: ourbigbook/introduction-to-the-ourbigbook-project

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!
We have two killer features:
  1. 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-calculus
    Articles 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.

  2. local editing: you can store all your personal knowledge base content locally in a plaintext markup format that can be edited locally and published either:
    This way you can be sure that even if OurBigBook.com were to go down one day (which we have no plans to do as it is quite cheap to host!), your content will still be perfectly readable as a static site.
