Isaac Horowitz is not a widely recognized figure in popular culture or history as of my last knowledge update in October 2023.
The term "engine" can refer to several different concepts depending on the context. Here are a few common interpretations: 1. **Mechanical Engine**: In a mechanical context, an engine is a machine designed to convert energy into mechanical work. This includes internal combustion engines (like those found in cars) and external combustion engines (like steam engines). Engines typically convert fuel into energy through processes involving combustion, heat exchange, or mechanical motion.
A hardware store is a retail establishment that sells a variety of tools, building materials, home improvement supplies, and gardening products.
A good explanation of how this insane system came up is given at Video "History of Oxford University by Chris Day (2018)".
The colleges are controlled by its fellows, a small self-electing body of highly successful scholars, usually in the dozens per college number it seems. Each college also usually has different types of fellows, e.g. see he university college page: www.univ.ox.ac.uk/about/college-fellowships/ (archive)
The college system does has its merits though, as it instates a certain sense of Hogwarts "belonging" to a certain group, so it might help students get better support for their learning projects from older students, or through the tutoring system. Of course, all such "belonging" feelings are bad, the correct thing would be to make great online tutorials for all, and answer questions in the open. But oh well, humans are dumb.
The college you are in impacts the quality of your courses, because tutorials are per-college. As of 2023, Ciro Santilli spoke to some students of the Computer science course of the University of Oxford, and was told that in some cases where you don't have anyone who can give the tutorial, you instead get a "class", i.e. a P.h.D. student going through question sheets with no interaction in the C.S. department, rather than a deep interactive discussion over the college fire. How can this system be so broken, it is beyond belief
As of my last knowledge update in October 2023, "Dewcell" does not appear to be a widely recognized term or product in general knowledge or technology. It's possible that it could refer to a specific product, technology, or concept that has emerged recently or is niche in nature. If you could provide more context or specify the area (e.g., technology, biology, energy, etc.
Posidonius, also known as Posidonius of Apamea, was a prominent Greek philosopher, scientist, and polymath who lived during the 1st century BCE (approximately 135 – 51 BCE). He is best known for his contributions to the fields of philosophy, geography, astronomy, and history. A student of the Stoic philosopher Panaetius, Posidonius played a key role in the development of Stoicism during the Hellenistic period.
Guy Bomford is a British mathematician, known for his work in various fields, particularly in the context of mathematics and integrative approaches to mathematical education.
The Heawood number is a mathematical concept in topology and geometry that pertains to the maximum number of colors needed to color a graph drawn on a surface without any two adjacent vertices sharing the same color. Specifically, it applies to surfaces of various genus, which measure the number of "holes" in the surface.
In category theory, a **subfunctor** is a concept that extends the idea of a subobject to the context of functors. While subobjects represent "parts" of objects in a category, subfunctors represent "parts" of functors in a more structured manner. ### Definition Let \( F: \mathcal{C} \to \mathcal{D} \) be a functor.
The Nth-term test, also known as the Divergence Test, is a method used in calculus and series analysis to determine the convergence or divergence of an infinite series. It specifically applies to a series of the form: \[ \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} a_n \] where \(a_n\) is the nth-term of the series.
A wave motor, often referred to in a broader context as a wave energy converter (WEC), is a device designed to capture and convert the energy generated by ocean waves into usable energy, typically electricity. These systems harness the kinetic and potential energy of waves as they move up and down and back and forth on the surface of the ocean.
Gilding is a decorative technique that involves applying a thin layer of gold or a gold-like substance to a surface to create a luxurious finish. This process can be applied to various materials, including wood, metal, paper, and ceramics. There are several methods of gilding, including: 1. **Gold Leaf Gilding**: Involves applying extremely thin sheets of gold leaf to a surface, often using an adhesive or glue.
Witold Nowacki is not widely known in mainstream contexts, and there may be multiple individuals with that name.
KCNS3, or "Potassium Voltage-Gated Channel Subfamily S Member 3," is a gene that encodes a protein belonging to the family of voltage-gated potassium channels. These channels are integral membrane proteins that play a crucial role in the electrical activity of neurons and muscle cells by allowing the flow of potassium ions across the cell membrane.
Bitty Baby is a line of dolls produced by American Girl, designed for younger children, typically ages 3 and up. These dolls are meant to be a first baby doll experience, encouraging imaginative play and nurturing skills. Bitty Baby dolls come in a variety of skin tones, hair colors, and styles, allowing children to choose dolls that they can relate to or enjoy.
A practical number is a positive integer \( n \) that can be represented as a sum of distinct positive integers not exceeding \( n \). In other words, for a number to be practical, any integer up to \( n \) can be expressed as a sum of distinct integers chosen from the set of positive integers less than or equal to \( n \).
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!
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.

- to OurBigBook.com to get awesome multi-user features like topics and likes
- as HTML files to a static website, which you can host yourself for free on many external providers like GitHub Pages, and remain in full control
