As of my last knowledge update in October 2021, "Aformic" does not appear to be a widely recognized term or brand in popular literature, technology, or any other field. It’s possible that it could be a company, product, or concept that emerged after that date. Alternatively, it could also be a specialized term within a niche industry.

It often focuses on leveraging data analytics, artificial intelligence, and digital platforms to help businesses improve their interactions with customers.
A lathe is a machine tool that is used to shape materials, typically metal or wood, by removing material from a workpiece. The workpiece is held in place and rotated against a cutting tool. This process allows for various operations, including turning, drilling, knurling, and threading. Lathes are commonly used in manufacturing for creating cylindrical parts, and they can be operated manually or automatically with CNC (Computer Numerical Control) technology.
"People in the space industry" refers to a diverse group of individuals who work in various roles and capacities related to the exploration and utilization of outer space. This industry encompasses a wide range of activities, including satellite development, space exploration missions, space research, aerospace engineering, space tourism, and more.
Mathias Schacht is not a widely recognized public figure or concept, and there might be many individuals with that name.
Transport engineers are specialized professionals who focus on the design, planning, and management of transportation systems and infrastructure. They play a critical role in ensuring that transportation networks are safe, efficient, and environmentally sustainable. Their work encompasses a wide range of activities related to various modes of transport, including roadways, railways, airports, and transit systems.
Cistercian numerals are a system of numeral notation that was developed by the Cistercian monks in the 13th century. This system uses a set of symbols derived from a combination of straight lines to represent numbers. The Cistercian numeral system is distinctive because it allows for the representation of numbers in a compact and efficient manner, enabling the inscription of numbers along with text.
Glagolitic numerals are a system of numerical representation that was used in conjunction with the Glagolitic script, one of the oldest known Slavic alphabets. The script was created in the 9th century by Saints Cyril and Methodius for the purpose of translating religious texts into the Slavic languages. The Glagolitic numeral system resembles the numeral systems of other alphabets, such as the Greek and Hebrew systems, where letters represent numbers.
The polygamma function is a special function that is defined as the \( n \)th derivative of the logarithm of the gamma function, denoted as \( \psi^{(n)}(x) \). Specifically, it is defined as: \[ \psi^{(n)}(x) = \frac{d^n}{dx^n} \ln(\Gamma(x)) \] where \( \Gamma(x) \) is the gamma function.
Number sense in animals refers to the ability of non-human species to perceive, estimate, and manipulate numerical quantities. This cognitive skill allows many animals to understand and differentiate between different amounts of objects, which can be crucial for survival-related activities such as foraging, hunting, or social interactions. Research has demonstrated that various animals, from primates to birds and even some insects, exhibit number sense in different capacities.
Scientific notation is a mathematical method used to express very large or very small numbers in a more compact and manageable form. It takes the general form of: \[ a \times 10^n \] where: - \( a \) is a coefficient that is typically a number greater than or equal to 1 and less than 10 (1 ≤ \( a \) < 10).
Andrew M. Gleason was an influential American mathematician, known primarily for his work in functional analysis and the foundation of mathematical analysis. He made significant contributions to various areas of mathematics, including analysis, topology, and the theory of differential equations. Gleason was a professor at Harvard University and is perhaps best known for Gleason’s Theorem, a result in measure theory related to the representation of states on certain types of algebras.
András Hajnal is a prominent Hungarian mathematician known for his contributions to set theory, combinatorics, and mathematical logic. He is particularly recognized for his work in graph theory and for Hajnal's theorem, which deals with properties of graphs and their colorings. Hajnal's research has significantly impacted these fields, and he is often cited in academic papers related to combinatorial set theory.
Aparna Higgins is not widely known or recognized in mainstream culture as of my last update, so there may not be detailed information available about her. It's possible that she could be a professional in a specific field, an academic, or a public figure who has gained recognition after my last update.
Crispin Nash-Williams, often referred to in the context of graph theory, is a notable mathematician known for his contributions to the field, particularly in the area of graph theory and combinatorics. He is best known for the Nash-Williams theorem related to graph colorings, and for his work in topics such as matroids and the structure of graphs.
As of my last update in October 2023, there is no widely recognized individual or entity named Derek Corneil. It's possible that he could refer to a private individual, a local figure, or someone who has gained prominence after my last update.
Dragan Marušič is a prominent figure in the field of mathematics, particularly known for his work in topology and algebra. He is a professor at the University of Primorska in Slovenia and has contributed significantly to mathematical research and education. His work often explores areas related to fixed point theory, topological spaces, and related topics.
Ed Scheinerman is a noted mathematician known primarily for his contributions to the field of mathematics, particularly in combinatorics and graph theory. He is a professor at Johns Hopkins University and has published various research papers and textbooks. His work often emphasizes the importance of mathematical thinking and problem-solving.
Fedor Fomin may refer to various individuals or concepts, but as of my last knowledge update in October 2023, I do not have specific information about a notable figure or entity by that name. It's possible that Fedor Fomin could refer to a person involved in a variety of fields, such as sports, academia, or other professions, but without more context, it's difficult to provide a precise answer.
Herbert Fleischner was a notable figure in the fields of mathematics and computer science, particularly known for his contributions to numerical analysis and computer algebra systems. He is associated with various algorithms and methods used in mathematical computing.

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
