It is a bit rough, but kind of works. Flight control is only left or right though, they don't stimulate the wings directly.

Partial differential equation Updated +Created
Control theory Updated +Created
This basically adds one more ingredient to partial differential equations: a function that we can select.
And then the question becomes: if this function has such and such limitation, can we make the solution of the differential equation have such and such property?
It's quite fun from a mathematics point of view!
Control theory also takes into consideration possible discretization of the domain, which allows using numerical methods to solve partial differential equations, as well as digital, rather than analogue control methods.

Dirac delta function Updated +Created
The "0-width" pulse distribution that integrates to a step.
There's not way to describe it as a classical function, making it the most important example of a distribution.

Diode Updated +Created
Ideally can be thought of as a one-way ticket gate that only lets electrons go in one direction with zero resistance! Real devices do have imperfections however, so there is some resistance.
First they were made out of vacuum tubes, but later semiconductor diodes were invented and became much more widespread.

Obesity is an extremely serious disease that is very hard to cure, and has deep psychological implications.

Gifted education Updated +Created
If school weren't bullshit, 99% of students would be in gifted education for what they truly love and are good at.
What is sad about many programs is that they are exclusivist and non scalable, selecting people some how and non scalably educating them. We need a more "here's some projects let's do them whoever can" approach to things, maybe like Google Summer of Code.
