As of my last update in October 2021, Aleksandar Nikolov is a computer scientist known for his work in theoretical computer science, particularly in the fields of algorithms, machine learning, and complexity theory. He has contributed to various areas, including the development of algorithms for optimization problems and advancements in understanding machine learning from a theoretical perspective.
Anne Broadbent is a researcher known for her work in psychology and cognitive science. She has made contributions to the field, particularly in areas related to attention, perception, and social cognition. More specific details about her research or professional background may depend on particular publications or roles she has held.
Arthur Preston Mellish does not appear to be a widely recognized public figure or concept based on available information up to October 2023. It's possible that he may be a private individual, a historical figure of local significance, or a fictional character that is not extensively documented in popular sources.
As of my last update in October 2023, "Brian Marcus" does not refer to a widely known figure or entity that would be identifiable in popular culture, history, or specific fields. There may be many individuals with that name across various professions and contexts.
Charles Macdonald is a professor known for his work in the field of academia, though specific details about his field of expertise or further accomplishments would require more information, as there might be multiple individuals with that name in various disciplines.
"Equatorium" generally refers to a type of astronomical calculator or instrument that was used in the medieval and Renaissance periods to compute positions of celestial bodies and facilitate astronomical calculations. It is sometimes associated with the work of notable astronomers such as Giovanni B. Benedetti and could also refer to a device used for solving equations related to planetary motions.
Erwin Kreyszig was a renowned mathematician and author, best known for his contributions to the fields of differential equations and applied mathematics. He was particularly noted for his textbook "Advanced Engineering Mathematics," which is widely used in engineering and mathematics courses. The book covers a range of topics including calculus, differential equations, linear algebra, and complex analysis, providing a comprehensive resource for students and professionals in engineering and physical sciences.
David J. Lockwood could refer to several individuals, depending on the context. One prominent figure is a British businessman and the former Chairman of the UK-based company, KPMG. Another possibility is a scholar or academic known for contributions in a specific field.
Izabella Łaba does not appear to be a widely recognized figure or term based on the information available up to October 2023. It's possible that she could be a person in a specific field, a less-publicized individual, or perhaps a fictional character.
Peter Borwein was a notable Canadian mathematician recognized for his contributions to various fields, including number theory, approximation theory, and computational mathematics. He was particularly well-known for his work on mathematical constants and for developing algorithms for computing π (pi) and other transcendental numbers. Borwein was also an advocate for the use of computers in mathematical research and education. He co-authored several influential papers and books, often collaborating with his brother, Jonathan Borwein.
Nina Snaith is a notable figure in the field of mathematics, particularly recognized for her work in algebra and number theory. She is known for her research on various topics, including the arithmetic properties of algebraic varieties and the study of motives in algebraic geometry. In addition to her research contributions, she is also involved in education, mentoring students, and promoting mathematical understanding.
Max Wyman is a prominent Canadian arts and culture critic, author, and editor, known for his work in various areas of the arts, including literature, theater, and visual arts. He has made significant contributions to the cultural landscape through his writings, critiques, and advocacy for the arts. Wyman has often focused on the importance of arts in society, the role of culture in shaping community, and the need for support and funding for the arts.
Simon Plouffe is a Canadian mathematician best known for his work in number theory and in particular for his contributions to the study of mathematical constants. He is notably recognized for discovering the Plouffe formula, which allows for the binary digits of π (pi) to be calculated directly without needing to compute all the preceding digits. This formula has implications in both theoretical and practical areas of mathematics and computer science.
As of my last knowledge update in October 2021, Yvonne Pothier may not refer to a widely recognized public figure, concept, or term that is documented in mainstream sources. It's possible she could be a private individual or a lesser-known figure. If Yvonne Pothier has gained prominence or relevance after that date, I would not have that information.
Ralph Gordon Stanton does not appear to be a widely recognized public figure, concept, or term based on the information available up to October 2023. It is possible that he is a private individual or a less-known historical figure.
Canadian women physicists are female scientists in Canada who specialize in various fields of physics. They work in academic institutions, research organizations, and industries, contributing to areas such as theoretical physics, experimental physics, astrophysics, condensed matter physics, and more. Historically, women have been underrepresented in the field of physics, and various initiatives and organizations aim to support and promote the participation of women in science.
Yael Karshon might refer to a person's name, but I don't have specific information on an individual by that name. It's possible that they could be a private individual, a professional in a certain field, or someone who has gained some recognition after my last update in October 2021.

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
