Chemical equilibrium for gives , because the photon chemical potential vanishes. Applying the nonrelativistic number-density formula to all three massive species and taking the ratio givesUse charge neutrality , the Hydrogen binding energy , , and the ground-state statistical weights . ThenThe approximations are a dilute, nondegenerate ideal gas in thermal and chemical equilibrium, nonrelativistic electrons, protons and hydrogen, negligible excited hydrogen states, and negligible corrections from the proton-to-hydrogen mass ratio. This relation is the Saha ionization equation.

A context-free grammar is in Chomsky normal form when every production has the form or , where are nonterminals and is a terminal symbol; one may additionally allow the new start production when the language contains the empty string, provided never appears on a right-hand side.
The standard conversion proceeds as follows.
- Introduce a fresh start symbol and . This changes only when the old start symbol occurs on a right-hand side or when a protected start symbol is needed to preserve .
- Find all nullable nonterminals, add productions obtained by omitting nullable occurrences, and remove the original -productions except the permitted . This leaves unchanged.
- Eliminate each unit production by adding to the non-unit productions reachable through its transitive closure. This leaves unchanged.
- Delete non-generating symbols and then unreachable symbols. This is the only simplification stage that can shrink .
- In every right-hand side of length at least two, replace a terminal by a fresh nonterminal with . New nonterminals are needed exactly for terminals that occur in such mixed or long productions.
- Break every right-hand side of length at least three into binary productions, introducing fresh nonterminals for successive suffixes. New nonterminals are needed exactly when such long productions remain.
The terminal alphabet may be kept unchanged throughout, although unused terminals may be discarded by convention. Every stage preserves the generated language, with the explicit protection of at the start-symbol stage. For example,is already in Chomsky normal form and generates the infinite language , so its conversion may be the grammar itself.

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. View it live at: ourbigbook.com/go/topic/derivativeVideo 2. OurBigBook Web topics demo. Source. - 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.
- 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

You can also edit articles on the Web editor without installing anything locally. Video 3. Edit locally and publish demo. Source.
