The Brouwer Medal is an award given by the Applied Topology and Neural Computing Society (formerly known as the Society of Neural Computation) to recognize significant contributions to the field of neural computation. It is named after the Dutch mathematician Luitzen Egbertus Jan Brouwer, known for his work in topology and functional analysis. The medal is typically awarded to individuals who have made substantial contributions through research, development, and application of neural computation techniques.
A fact is a statement or assertion that can be verified as true or false based on objective evidence. Facts are based on observable phenomena and can typically be proven through empirical evidence, data, or documentation. For example, "Water boils at 100 degrees Celsius at standard atmospheric pressure" is a fact because it can be tested and observed. It's important to distinguish facts from opinions, beliefs, or interpretations, which are subjective and may vary from person to person.
Jean-Loup Waldspurger is a French theoretical physicist known for his work in the field of statistical mechanics and quantum mechanics. He is particularly recognized for contributions to the understanding of phase transitions and the properties of complex systems. His work often intersects with topics in condensed matter physics, and he has authored and co-authored several scientific papers and publications in these areas.
The Whitehead Prize is awarded by the London Mathematical Society (LMS) in the United Kingdom. It is named after the British mathematician J. N. (John North) Whitehead and is given to recognize outstanding achievements in mathematics by early-career researchers. The prize typically honors individuals who have made significant contributions to the field within a certain number of years after completing their PhD. The award aims to promote and support the careers of promising mathematicians in their formative years.

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.

- 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
