Alan Head by Wikipedia Bot 0
"Alan Head" does not appear to refer to a widely recognized concept, individual, or term as of my last update in October 2023. It’s possible that you may be referring to something more specific or niche that has emerged since then, or it could be a misspelling or miscommunication regarding a different term or name.
Andrew G. White by Wikipedia Bot 0
Andrew G. White could refer to a variety of individuals or entities, depending on the context. However, without specific information, it's difficult to pinpoint exactly who or what you're referring to. If you mean a person, it could refer to an academic, professional, or a public figure with that name. If you mean an organization or a company, it could refer to a business or a brand that includes that name.
Hope is a functional programming language that was designed in the early 1980s, primarily by the computer scientist Gordon P. A. S. Morrison and others, at the University of Cambridge. It was created as a research tool to explore concepts related to functional programming, type systems, and polymorphism.

Betty Louise Turtle is a unique and charming character often associated with children's literature, specifically created for educational purposes. She typically embodies traits such as kindness, curiosity, and a love for learning. Often found in stories aimed at teaching values such as friendship, perseverance, and problem-solving, Betty Louise Turtle may also serve as a symbol of slow and steady progress, promoting the idea that taking time can lead to success.
Cecil Ernest Eddy by Wikipedia Bot 0
Cecil Ernest Eddy, often known as "C.E. Eddy," was an American chemist who is particularly notable for his contributions to the field of geochemistry, which involves the study of the chemical composition of the Earth and its processes. He has authored and co-authored various scientific papers and works, focusing on topics such as mineral chemistry and the formation of geological materials.
Euler-Lagrange equation by Ciro Santilli 37 Updated +Created
Let's start with the one dimensional case. Let the and a Functional defined by a function of three variables :
Then, the Euler-Lagrange equation gives the maxima and minima of the that type of functional. Note that this type of functional is just one very specific type of functional amongst all possible functionals that one might come up with. However, it turns out to be enough to do most of physics, so we are happy with with it.
Given , the Euler-Lagrange equations are a system of ordinary differential equations constructed from that such that the solutions to that system are the maxima/minima.
In the one dimensional case, the system has a single ordinary differential equation:
By and we simply mean "the partial derivative of with respect to its second and third arguments". The notation is a bit confusing at first, but that's all it means.
Therefore, that expression ends up being at most a second order ordinary differential equation where is the unknown, since:
  • the term is a function of
  • the term is a function of . And so it's derivative with respect to time will contain only up to
Now let's think about the multi-dimensional case. Instead of having , we now have . Think about the Lagrangian mechanics motivation of a double pendulum where for a given time we have two angles.
Let's do the 2-dimensional case then. In that case, is going to be a function of 5 variables rather than 3 as in the one dimensional case, and the functional looks like:
This time, the Euler-Lagrange equations are going to be a system of two ordinary differential equations on two unknown functions and of order up to 2 in both variables:
At this point, notation is getting a bit clunky, so people will often condense the vector
or just omit the arguments of entirely:

This is a good project. Limited scope to 2D card-like games, but very good within that scope.
Ciro Santilli used it for the 2D version of his Ciro's 2D reinforcement learning games.
As of my last update in October 2023, there isn't widely recognized information about a person named Christopher Chantler in mainstream media or notable databases. It's possible that he could be a private individual, a professional in a specific field, or someone who has gained prominence after my last update.
Colin J. Gillespie is a statistician known for his work in various areas of statistics, including Bayesian methods and statistical modeling. He is particularly recognized for his contributions to statistical methodology and applications in fields like genetics and ecology. In addition to his research, he has been involved in teaching and mentoring in the field of statistics.

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!
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.
