One of the best in the world, but you need to know how to find real restaurants if you are not in China.
But worry not, Ciro Santilli has got you covered: github.com/cirosantilli/china-dictatorship/restaurants

The Harris functional, often referred to in the context of mathematical analysis and calculus of variations, is associated with a certain type of energy integral. It was introduced by the mathematician C. A. Harris in the context of studying minimal surfaces and surface area functionals. In simple terms, the Harris functional represents a mathematical tool used for characterizing energy configurations, particularly for problems involving surfaces or interfaces in variational calculus.
The most awesome country in the world, except for it's horrible government as of 2019 which Ciro Santilli is trying to replace with democracy.
His films Blaise Pascal (1972) and Cartesius (1974) have the greatest scenery and wardrobe ever. The eerie horror movie soundtrack is also very interesting. Ciro was weirdly reminded of Cosmos: A Personal Voyage (1980).
Ciro once told a friend that his ideal life would be to "just chill out and eat his bread in peace" (while also learning and teaching the sciences). Quote "Omar Khayyam's chill out quote" comes to mind. See also: Ciro Santilli's cheapness.

Pokemon had just launched in Brazil in 1999, 2 years after the Japanese launch: br.historyplay.tv/hoje-na-historia/comeca-exibicao-original-do-anime-pokemon (archive) And Dragon Ball, was first aired in 1989 in Japan! My God, those translations took forever back then!
And everyone was playing Pokemon on their Game Boy Color. Ciro was already cheap however, and didn't buy the console despite wanting it, and just played it through his friends handhelds. But maybe this is a good thing. Playing alone sucks.
Within the The Holy Trinity of popular Brazilian music, Chico tends to approach the more down to Earth and heavy topics.

They are the finite projective special linear groups.
This was the first infinite family of simple groups discovered after the simple cyclic groups and alternating groups. The first case discovered was by Galois. You should understand that one first.

Density Functional Theory (DFT) software refers to computational tools and programs used to perform quantum mechanical calculations based on DFT principles. DFT is a widely used method in physics, chemistry, and materials science for studying the electronic structure of many-body systems, particularly atoms, molecules, and the condensed phases of matter.
Chemistry is fun. Too hard for precise physics (pre quantum computing, see also quantum chemistry), but not too hard for some maths like social sciences.
And it underpins biology.
The Demidov Prize is a prestigious award in the field of science, primarily recognizing outstanding achievements in the fields of natural sciences and engineering. Established in 1884, the prize is named after the Demidov family, notable patrons of science and industry in Russia. The award is presented by the Russian Academy of Sciences and is typically given to researchers and scientists for their significant contributions to advancing knowledge and innovation.
Sydney Chapman (1888–1970) was a notable British mathematician and geophysicist, renowned for his work in the fields of mathematics, astrophysics, and atmospheric science. He made significant contributions to the understanding of atmospheric physics, especially in areas related to the Earth's ionosphere, gas dynamics, and the behavior of gases in the atmosphere.

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!
Intro to OurBigBook
. Source. We have two killer features:
- 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-calculusArticles 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.Figure 1. Screenshot of the "Derivative" topic page.
