Erniang is way more popular than her ranking in the 108 Stars of Destiny.

This is of course in part because she is one of the only 3 108 Stars of Destiny women. But her story about making human mantou is particularly fun!

She's also quite seductive, which gives directors a good opportunity for a bit of fan service. See e.g. kknews.cc/history/6epp2pp.html for a still from The Water Margin showing some good cleavage for example.

As if Greek letters weren't enough, physicists and mathematicians also like to make up tons of symbols, some of which look like the could actually be Greek letters!

Nabla is one of those: it was completely made up in modern times, and just happens to look like an inverted upper case delta to make things even more confusing!

Nabla means "harp" in Greek, which looks like the symbol.

They have been masters of second sourcing things for a long time! One can ony imagine the complexity of the Intel cross licensing deals.

Bibliography:

One of the most beautiful things in mathematics are theorems of conjectures that are very simple to state and understand (e.g. for K-12, lower undergrad levels), but extremely hard to prove.

This is in contrast to conjectures in certain areas where you'd have to study for a few months just to precisely understand all the definitions and the interest of the problem statement.

Higher level than Csound: describes the notes only, not the exact waveforms it seems.

Therefore also a bit harder to convert to actual sound: stackoverflow.com/questions/33775336/convert-musicxml-to-wav but possibly easier to convert to LilyPond.

Now they need to create a "MusicCSS" that gives the waveforms! :-)

The usual "let's make a standard without a reference implementation" W3C approach.

A multilinear form with a domain that looks like:where $V\ast$ is the dual space.

Because a tensor is a multilinear form, it can be fully specified by how it act on all combinations of basis sets, which can be done in terms of components. We refer to each component as:where we remember that the raised indices refer dual vector.

Some examples:
