Hanna Neumann (1914–1993) was a prominent German mathematician known for her contributions to group theory, particularly in the area of infinite groups. She made significant advances in the understanding of groups and their substructures. Neumann was also known for her work on the algebraic properties of groups and played a key role in the development of certain concepts within group theory.
A good project to see UARTs at work in all their beauty is to connect two Raspberry Pis via UART, and then:
Part of the beauty of this is that you can just connect both boards directly manually with a few wire-to-wire connections with simple jump wire. Its simplicity is just quite refreshing. Sure, you could do something like that for any physical layer link presumably...
Remember that you can only have one GNU screen connected at a time or else they will mess each other up: unix.stackexchange.com/questions/93892/why-is-screen-is-terminating-without-root/367549#367549
On Ubuntu 22.04 you can screen without sudo by adding yourself to the dialout group with:
sudo usermod -a -G dialout $USER

800+ page PDF with source on GitHub claiming to try and teach the beauty of modern maths for high schoolers. Fantastic project!!!
The Grothendieck spectral sequence is a powerful tool in algebraic geometry and homological algebra, providing a method for computing the derived functors of a functor that is defined in terms of a different functor. It is commonly used in the context of sheaf cohomology. The context in which the Grothendieck spectral sequence typically arises is in the cohomology of sheaves on a topological space (often a variety or scheme).
Decomposition of spectrum in functional analysis refers to the analysis of the set of values (the spectrum) associated with a linear operator or a bounded linear operator on a Banach space (or a linear operator on a Hilbert space), and it often involves breaking down the spectrum into different components to better understand the operator's behavior. ### Key Concepts 1.
A "starlike tree" refers to a specific structure in graph theory, particularly in the study of trees and networks. A tree is a connected acyclic graph, and when we describe a tree as "starlike," it typically means that the tree has a central node (often referred to as the "root") from which a number of other nodes (or "leaves") radiate.
Sturm–Liouville theory is a fundamental concept in the field of differential equations and mathematical physics. It deals with a specific type of second-order linear differential equation known as the Sturm–Liouville problem. This theory has applications in various areas, including quantum mechanics, vibration analysis, and heat conduction.
Spectral asymmetry refers to the property of a spectral distribution where the spectrum (eigenvalue distribution or frequency spectrum) of a given operator or system does not exhibit symmetry around a particular point, typically zero. In many physical systems, particularly in quantum mechanics or systems described by linear operators, eigenvalues can be distributed symmetrically, meaning if \( \lambda \) is an eigenvalue, then \( -\lambda \) is also an eigenvalue.
Frederick Sumner Brackett (1860-1942) was an American scientist known for his contributions to the field of agronomy and plant physiology. He is particularly noted for his research on plant nutrition and soil chemistry, which helped enhance agricultural practices and improve crop yields. Brackett's work has influenced how scientists and farmers understand the relationship between soil properties and plant growth.
The Tropospheric Emission Spectrometer (TES) is an instrument designed to measure various atmospheric gases, including greenhouse gases, air pollutants, and other trace constituents in the troposphere, which is the lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere. Launched aboard the Aura satellite in July 2004 as part of NASA's Earth Observation System, TES uses infrared spectroscopy to analyze the composition of the atmosphere.

Pinned article: 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.

    You can publish local OurBigBook lightweight markup files to either https://OurBigBook.com or as a static website
