"The Invisible Woman" is a 1983 television movie directed by Paul Schneider. The film is a loose adaptation of H.G. Wells' classic science fiction novel, "The Invisible Man." In this version, the story focuses on a woman named Kitty Carroll, played by actress Claudia Christian, who becomes the unwitting subject of an experiment that renders her invisible.
"The Mathematical Magpie" is a book by Simon Plouffe, published in 2021. The book explores a wide range of mathematical topics, presenting them through engaging stories and historical anecdotes. Plouffe, a mathematician known for his work in number theory and numeric algorithms, aims to make complex mathematical concepts accessible and enjoyable to readers who may not have a formal background in mathematics.
"The Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art" (Chinese: 九章算术, pinyin: Jiǔzhāng Suànshù) is a classic Chinese mathematical text composed during the Han dynasty, around the first century CE, though its origins may date back several centuries earlier. This work is considered one of the most significant texts in the history of mathematics in China and has had a lasting influence on the development of mathematics in East Asia.
The contrast effect is a cognitive bias that occurs when the evaluation of something is influenced by the comparison to another item or experience that is perceived immediately before it. Essentially, the contrast effect can significantly impact our judgments and decisions by shaping how we perceive differences in qualities or attributes. For example, if a person is shown a series of job candidates, the characteristics and qualities of the candidates may stand out more distinctly depending on the order in which they are presented.
Theodor des Coudres (often stylized as Théodor des Coudres) is a figure who is primarily associated with the field of mathematics, particularly in relation to topology and geometry.
The term "Theorem of the cube" is not widely recognized in mathematics as a specific theorem. However, it could refer to various concepts depending on the context.
Theoretical strength of a solid refers to the strength that a material can potentially exhibit based on its atomic or molecular structure, assuming ideal or perfect conditions without defects, imperfections, or dislocations. This measurement is often derived from fundamental principles of solid mechanics and materials science, particularly considering the bond strengths between atoms or molecules.
The theory of Lie groups is a branch of mathematics that studies continuous symmetry through the use of a special class of groups called Lie groups. A Lie group is a group that is also a differentiable manifold, which means that it has both algebraic structure (satisfying the group axioms) and geometric structure (allowing for the concepts of calculus to be applied). Lie groups are named after the Norwegian mathematician Sophus Lie, who developed this theory in the 19th century.
Peter Garrett is an Australian musician, environmental activist, and former politician. He is best known as the lead singer of the rock band Midnight Oil, which gained international fame in the 1980s and 1990s for its politically charged lyrics and energetic performances. In addition to his music career, Garrett has been active in environmental issues, particularly in relation to climate change and Indigenous rights.
Flight traffic mapping refers to the visualization and analysis of air traffic patterns and movements of aircraft within a specific airspace or region. This can involve the use of various tools and technologies to display real-time or historical data related to flights, including their paths, altitudes, speeds, and destinations.
"Argentine mathematicians" refers to mathematicians who are from Argentina or have contributed significantly to the field of mathematics while being associated with Argentina. Argentina has produced many notable mathematicians who have made contributions in various areas of mathematics, including pure mathematics, applied mathematics, statistics, and mathematics education. Some prominent Argentine mathematicians include: 1. **Juan Manuel Serratosa** - Known for his work in mathematical physics and dynamical systems.
Florence Bell was a notable British biologist known for her work in the field of embryology and developmental biology. Her research contributed to the understanding of various biological processes, including cell differentiation and the development of embryos. Bell's work often involved the study of marine organisms, and she was recognized for her contributions to scientific literature. In addition to her research, Florence Bell was also involved in education and was an advocate for women in science, helping to pave the way for future generations of female scientists.
Flow cytometry bioinformatics refers to the application of computational and statistical methods to analyze data generated from flow cytometry experiments. Flow cytometry is a powerful technique used to measure the physical and chemical characteristics of cells or particles as they flow in a fluid stream through a laser. This technology allows for the analysis of multiple parameters (e.g., size, complexity, and specific markers) of thousands of cells per second.
Thermalisation is the process by which a system approaches thermal equilibrium, meaning that the temperature becomes uniform throughout the system and the distribution of energy among the particles becomes constant. In other words, it refers to the way in which energy is redistributed in a system until it reaches a state where all parts of the system have the same temperature and energy distribution, aligning with the principles of thermodynamics.
Thermodynamic diagrams are graphical representations used in thermodynamics to illustrate relationships between different thermodynamic properties of substances, such as temperature, pressure, volume, and enthalpy. These diagrams are essential tools for understanding and analyzing thermodynamic cycles, phase changes, and the behavior of different materials under various conditions. Some common types of thermodynamic diagrams include: 1. **Pressure-Temperature (P-T) Diagram**: Shows the relationship between pressure and temperature for a substance.
Thermal wind is a concept in meteorology that refers to the change in wind speed and direction that is associated with differences in temperature between air masses. It is not a physical wind in the sense of a local wind like a sea breeze or mountain breeze but rather a theoretical concept used to describe the influence of thermal gradients on the wind pattern in the atmosphere.
Péter Mészáros is a prominent Hungarian philosopher and scholar known for his work in the fields of philosophy of language, epistemology, and social theory. He is particularly recognized for his contributions to Marxist thought and critical theory. Mészáros has written extensively on the implications of Marxism for contemporary social and political issues, exploring themes such as alienation, capitalism, and the power dynamics in society.

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.
