Equidissection is a mathematical concept related to the idea of dividing shapes into pieces in such a way that the pieces can be rearranged to form another shape of equal area or volume. It involves partitioning a geometric figure into smaller pieces that can be reconfigured without changing their size, typically to demonstrate equivalence in area or volume between different figures. One of the popular contexts for discussing equidissection is in geometry, specifically in polygonal and polyhedral dissections.

- are human readable plaintext files
- can be converted/played as MIDI
- can be converted to sheet music PDFs
- supports basic guitar effects (bends and slides)
What makes Ciro especially mad when programming is not the hard things.
Especially when you are already a few levels of "simple problems" down from your original goal, and another one of them shows up.
This is basically the cause of Hofstadter's law.
But of course, it is because it is hard that it feels amazing when you achieve your goal.
Existence and uniqueness of solutions of partial differential equations by
Ciro Santilli 37 Updated 2025-07-01 +Created 1970-01-01
Unlike for ordinary differential equations which have the Picard–Lindelöf theorem, the existence and uniqueness of solution is not well solved for PDEs.
For example, Navier-Stokes existence and smoothness was one of the Millennium Prize Problems.
The Erdős–Diophantine graph is a concept in graph theory that arises in connection with number theory and combinatorics, particularly focusing on the relationships defined by some Diophantine properties. In this setting, the vertices of the graph typically represent natural numbers or integers, and edges are drawn based on a specific Diophantine condition. The most common version of the Erdős–Diophantine graph considers pairs of integers that satisfy a particular equation or set of equations.

A mixed cross department course with the philosophy department. Its corresponding masters is known as Oxford MCompSciPhil. The handbook is together with the computer science one: Section "Computer science course of the University of Oxford".
The Hadwiger Conjecture is a significant statement in combinatorial geometry that relates to the coloring of the plane with respect to convex sets, particularly focusing on the properties of regions defined by convex shapes.
As mentioned at Section "Computer security researcher", Ciro Santilli really tends to like people from this area.
Also, the type of programming Ciro used to do, systems programming, is particularly useful to security researchers, e.g. Linux Kernel Module Cheat.
It is said, that once upon a time, programmers used CSV and collaborated on SourceForge, and that everyone was happy.
These days, are however, long gone in the mists of time as of 2020, and beyond Ciro Santilli's programming birth.
An "integer triangle" typically refers to a triangle in which the lengths of all three sides are integers. For a triangle to exist with given side lengths, they must satisfy the triangle inequality theorem, which states that for any triangle with sides of lengths \( a \), \( b \), and \( c \): 1. \( a + b > c \) 2. \( a + c > b \) 3.

bbchallenge.org/story#what-is-known-about-bb lists some (all?) cool examples,
- BB(15): Erdős' conjecture on powers of 2, which has some relation to Collatz conjecture
- BB(27): Goldbach's conjecture
- BB(744): Riemann hypothesis
- BB(748): independent from the Zermelo-Fraenkel axioms
- BB(7910): independent from the ZFC
wiki.bbchallenge.org/wiki/Cryptids contains a larger list. In June 2024 it was discovered that BB(6) is hard.
The term "isosceles set" does not appear to be a widely recognized term in mathematics or any specific field. However, it might be a misinterpretation or a confusion with the term "isosceles triangle," which refers to a triangle that has two sides of equal length.
When a disconnected space is made up of several smaller connected spaces, then each smaller component is called a "connected component" of the larger space.

Pinned article: ourbigbook/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!
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.
