Bice Sechi-Zorn is a notable figure in the field of mathematics, particularly known for her contributions to the study of set theory and related areas. She is recognized for her work on the concept of Bice Sechi-Zorn's lemma, a generalization of Zorn's lemma, which is a principle in set theory used to prove the existence of certain mathematical objects.
G. William Morgan by Wikipedia Bot 0
G. William Morgan is best known as the inventor of the sport of volleyball. In 1895, he created the game while working at the YMCA in Holyoke, Massachusetts. Originally, the game was called "mintonette," and it was designed as a mix between basketball, baseball, tennis, and handball. The objective was to create a sport that could be played indoors and was suitable for all ages. The rules evolved, and the name was later changed to "volleyball.

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.
