Ivan Cherednik is known for his contributions to the field of mathematics, particularly in areas related to representation theory and special functions. He is most recognized for his work on Cherednik algebras, which are an important topic in the intersection of algebra, geometry, and mathematical physics. Cherednik's research often involves the study of quantum groups, harmonic analysis, and combinatorial aspects of representation theory.

He doesn't have the patience to actually watch full episodes with rare exceptions, rather just watching selected scenes from: www.youtube.com/channel/UCdeIGY2DIjpGf0A2m9GSE3g, but still, it is interesting.

What appeals to Ciro in this series is how almost nothing is solved by violence, almost everything is decided in the bridge, at the "cerebral" level of the command structure. This reminds Ciro of a courtroom of law sometimes.

Maybe there's also a bit of 90's nostalgia involved too though, as this is something that would show on some random cable channels a bored young Ciro would have browsed during weekends, never really watching full episodes.

One crime of many episodes is being completely based on some stupid new scientific concept, which any character to back it up.

Another thing that hurt is that due to their obsession with the senior members of the crew, sometimes those senior members are sent in ridiculously risky operations, which is very unrealistic.

Episodes that Ciro watched fully and didn't regret:

Semi worth it:

The Unscented Transform (UT) is a mathematical technique used primarily in the field of nonlinear estimation and filtering, particularly within the context of the Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF). Its primary purpose is to approximate the mean and covariance of a random variable that is passed through a nonlinear function, which can be challenging due to the nonlinearity involved.

A vector measure is a mathematical concept that extends the idea of a measure (as found in measure theory) to a vector-valued function. In classical measure theory, a measure assigns a non-negative real number to subsets of a given space, typically based on the size or volume of those sets. In the context of vector measures, the concept is generalized to allow for values that are vectors instead of just scalars.

Viscous damping refers to a type of damping that is proportional to the velocity of an object moving through a fluid or a material. This phenomenon is commonly observed in mechanical systems, particularly in oscillating or vibrating systems, where energy is dissipated as heat due to the resistance of the fluid or medium. In the context of mechanical vibrations, viscous damping can be described using a damping force that is proportional to the velocity (\(v\)) of the object.

The term "weighting pattern" can refer to different concepts depending on the context in which it is used. Here are a few possible interpretations: 1. **Statistics and Data Analysis**: In statistical analyses, a weighting pattern may refer to the way different observations in a dataset are given different levels of importance or weight. This could involve assigning higher weights to certain groups or data points based on their relevance or significance to the analysis.

As mentioned on the Wikipedia page en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Stationary_Action_Principle&oldid=1020413171, "principle of least action" is not accurate since it could not necessarily be a minima, we could just be in a saddle-point.

Maurice Auslander is a prominent mathematician known for his significant contributions to various areas of mathematics, particularly in the fields of algebra and representation theory. Born on April 15, 1927, he has had a long and influential career in mathematics. He is best known for his work on homological algebra and for developing concepts such as the Auslander-Riedel theorem, which pertains to the representation theory of algebras.

Witsenhausen's counterexample is a seminal problem in the field of control theory and information theory, specifically illustrating the challenges associated with decentralized control systems. It was introduced by Hans Witsenhausen in 1968. The counterexample involves a two-player scenario where each player must make decisions based on partial information, and their decisions are interdependent.

The "airport problem" generally refers to a variety of optimization problems related to the operation and management of airports, particularly those involving scheduling, capacity management, and resource allocation. Depending on the context, it can involve several specific issues: 1. **Flight Scheduling**: Determining optimal schedules for arrivals and departures to minimize delays while maximizing the utilization of runways, gates, and other resources.

This is what happens when you apply a step voltage to a series RC circuit: TODO $I(t)$ graph.
