Unfortunately, specific details about his biography or contributions may vary and could be less publicly documented compared to other prominent ornithologists.
Reed's Law is a principle in network theory that was proposed by David P. Reed in 2001. It suggests that the utility or value of a network increases exponentially with the number of possible subgroups that can form within that network. Specifically, the law states that the value of a social network grows with the number of possible groups that can form, which is a function of the number of users in the network.
As of my last update, "Edwin Power" does not refer to a widely recognized concept, product, or figure in popular culture or academic literature. It's possible that it could refer to a specific individual, a brand, or a term that may have emerged after my knowledge cutoff date in October 2023.

Pohlke's theorem is a result in the field of topology, specifically in the study of connected spaces. It states that if \(X\) is a connected space and \(Y\) is a connected subspace of \(X\), then \(X\) is connected if and only if the union of \(Y\) with any other connected subspace \(Z\) of \(X\) is connected.

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
