Logic literature refers to a body of works that explore various aspects of logic, including its principles, applications, and implications within philosophy, mathematics, computer science, and linguistics. It encompasses both theoretical and applied texts, ranging from foundational topics in formal logic, such as propositional and predicate logic, to advanced studies in modal logic, non-classical logics, and computational logic.
Mathematics literature stubs refer to short, incomplete, or underdeveloped articles or entries related to mathematics on platforms like Wikipedia. These stubs typically contain minimal information about a specific mathematical concept, theorem, or mathematician, and they often invite contributors to expand the content by adding more detail, context, references, and insights. The purpose of tagging articles as stubs is to encourage community participation and collaborative editing to improve the quality and comprehensiveness of the information available on mathematics topics.
**Formalized music** refers to a compositional approach that emphasizes the use of formal systems and mathematical structures in the creation of music. This concept is closely associated with the work of composers like **Iannis Xenakis**, who applied principles from fields such as mathematics, architecture, and probability theory to his music.
Serialism is a method of composition in music that uses a series of values to manipulate different musical elements. While it is most commonly associated with the twelve-tone technique developed by Austrian composer Arnold Schoenberg, which involves the systematic arrangement of all twelve pitches of the chromatic scale, serialism can apply to various musical parameters, such as rhythm, dynamics, timbre, and articulation.
Shiranui, also known as "mysterious fires" or "dancing lights," is a phenomenon observed near water bodies, particularly in coastal regions of Japan. It typically appears as flickering lights, glowing orbs, or mysterious flames that seem to hover or move above the surface of the water. The phenomenon is most commonly reported in the Ariake Sea and the surrounding areas.
Variable Air Volume (VAV) is a type of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system that provides precise temperature control across different spaces by adjusting the flow of air. Unlike constant air volume (CAV) systems, which maintain a steady air flow regardless of the indoor temperature requirements, VAV systems can vary the volume of air delivered to different areas based on the specific heating or cooling load of each zone.
Ampère's circuital law is a fundamental principle in electromagnetism that relates the circulation of the magnetic field around a closed loop to the electric current passing through that loop.
In fluid mechanics, a damper is a device used to regulate the flow of fluid (liquid or gas) by providing resistance to the flow. Dampers are commonly employed in various systems to control flow rates, pressure, and vibrations, ensuring that the system operates efficiently and safely. There are several types of dampers, including: 1. **Flow Control Dampers**: Used in HVAC systems to control the volume of air flowing through ducts. They can be manually or automatically operated.
Load path analysis is a method used in structural engineering to determine how loads are distributed through a structure. It involves tracing the paths that loads take as they move through various elements of a building or structure to identify how forces are transferred from one component to another until they reach the foundation.
The "Egg of Columbus" refers to a classic tangram puzzle that consists of a set of geometric pieces called tans. These tans are arranged in such a way to form a shape resembling an egg or an oval. The puzzle involves figuring out how to reassemble these tans into the desired shape, which requires spatial reasoning and problem-solving skills. The term "Egg of Columbus" is derived from the story of Christopher Columbus, who famously demonstrated his brilliance by getting an egg to stand on its end.
Peg solitaire is a classic single-player board game that involves moving pegs around a board with the goal of removing all but one peg. The game is typically played on a cross-shaped board, although other variations exist. The board has holes where pegs can be placed, and the objective is to jump one peg over another, removing the jumped peg from the board.
EGS can refer to different things depending on the context. One common interpretation is "Educational Guidance Services," which focuses on providing support and resources for students in educational settings. In another context, EGS might stand for "Economic Growth Strategy" in relation to economic planning and development.
The American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) is a professional organization that focuses on the practice and advancement of medical physics. Founded in 1958, the AAPM serves as a platform for medical physicists, who are professionals responsible for the application of physics principles in medicine, particularly in the fields of radiation therapy, diagnostic imaging, and radiation protection.
Military meteorology is a specialized field of meteorology that focuses on the effects of weather and climate on military operations. It involves the study, analysis, and application of atmospheric conditions to support military planning, training, and operations. Here are some key aspects of military meteorology: 1. **Weather Forecasting**: Military meteorologists provide detailed weather forecasts tailored to specific operational needs. This includes forecasting for combat missions, training exercises, and logistics.
The Remez algorithm is a numerical method used to find the best uniform approximation of a continuous function by a polynomial. It is particularly useful in the context of Chebyshev approximations and is a technique for minimizing the maximum deviation (error) between a function and its polynomial approximation. The algorithm is named after the Russian mathematician Evgeny Remez.
Miniature railways are small-scale railway systems designed primarily for recreation and entertainment rather than for commercial transport. These railways often feature locomotives and rolling stock that are significantly smaller than standard gauge trains, and they can vary widely in size, construction, and purpose. Here are some key characteristics and aspects of miniature railways: 1. **Scale**: Miniature railways can come in various scales, with common scales including 5-inch, 7.
The Trianon model collection refers to a series of highly detailed miniature models produced by the French company Trianon Models, specializing in historical miniatures. These models often depict various aspects of history, particularly military and architectural subjects, and are meticulously crafted to represent accurate details from specific time periods. The collection is popular among hobbyists, collectors, and enthusiasts of history, particularly those interested in military history and model building.
A miniature park is a recreational area that features scaled-down models of various structures, landscapes, and attractions. These parks often showcase replicas of famous landmarks, such as buildings, monuments, and natural wonders, allowing visitors to explore and appreciate them from a unique perspective. Miniature parks can also include gardens, fountains, and other elements that enhance the overall experience.
Matchbox is a brand of die-cast toy vehicles that was invented by Lesney Products in the 1950s. The brand became popular for its small-scale replicas of cars, trucks, and other vehicles, which were originally packaged in boxes resembling matchboxes, hence the name "Matchbox." The original line of toys included a wide variety of vehicles, and Matchbox expanded its offerings over the years to include different series and themes, such as construction vehicles, emergency services, and more.

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.
