The Simpsons and Their Mathematical Secrets 1970-01-01
"The Simpsons and Their Mathematical Secrets" is a book written by Simon Singh, published in 2013. It explores the mathematical concepts and ideas that are woven into the episodes of the long-running animated television series "The Simpsons." Singh, a popular science writer, delves into how various mathematical theories and principles are cleverly integrated into the show's humor and storytelling. The book discusses topics such as calculus, game theory, and probability, using specific examples from "The Simpsons" episodes to illustrate these concepts.
Barbertonite 1970-01-01
Barbertonite is a rare mineral that is part of the serpentine group, primarily composed of magnesium silicate. It typically occurs in ultramafic rocks and is associated with the geological formations found in the Barberton Greenstone Belt in South Africa. This area is known for its well-preserved ancient rocks, which are some of the oldest on Earth, dating back around 3.5 billion years.
Brookite 1970-01-01
Brookite is a mineral that is classified as a titanium oxide, with the chemical formula \( \text{TiO}_2 \). It is one of the three main polymorphs of titanium dioxide, the other two being rutile and anatase. Brookite typically forms in a tetragonal crystal system and is characterized by its unusual elongated crystal shape and its perfect cleavage.
Corundum 1970-01-01
Corundum is a naturally occurring mineral comprised primarily of aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃). It is known for its hardness, ranking 9 on the Mohs scale, making it one of the hardest substances in nature. Corundum can take on various colors depending on the presence of trace elements, resulting in well-known varieties such as: 1. **Sapphire**: Typically blue but can come in many other colors except red.
Rosickýite 1970-01-01
Rosickýite is a rare mineral that belongs to the category of chalcogenides. It is primarily composed of elements such as copper, iron, and sulfur. Named after Czech geologist and mineralogist Tomáš Rosický, the mineral is often found in association with other sulfide minerals in specific geological environments. Due to its rarity and specific formation conditions, it is of interest primarily to mineral collectors and researchers in the field of geology and mineralogy.
Schreyerite 1970-01-01
Schreyerite is a rare mineral that is a member of the pyrochlore group. Its chemical composition is primarily defined by the presence of niobium, titanium, and oxygen, along with other elements in lesser amounts. The mineral is typically found in igneous rocks, particularly those that are rich in niobium and titanium. Schreyerite is of interest to mineralogists and geologists because of its unique properties and its occurrence in specific geological environments.
Constant function 1970-01-01
A constant function is a type of mathematical function that always returns the same value regardless of the input. In simpler terms, no matter what value you substitute into a constant function, the output will never change; it will always be a fixed value. Mathematically, a constant function can be expressed in the form: \[ f(x) = c \] where \( c \) is a constant (a specific number) and \( x \) represents the input variable.
Kharitonov region 1970-01-01
The Kharitonov region, also known as Kharitonovsky District, is a federal subject of Russia, located in the Siberian region. However, specific information about the Kharitonov region is limited, as it might refer to a less prominent area or could be a misnomer for a specific district within a larger region that is commonly known by another name.
Askey–Wilson polynomials 1970-01-01
Askey-Wilson polynomials are a family of orthogonal polynomials that play a significant role in the theory of special functions, combinatorics, and mathematical physics. They are a part of the Askey scheme of hypergeometric orthogonal polynomials, which classifies various families of orthogonal polynomials and their relationships.
Big q-Jacobi polynomials 1970-01-01
The Big \( q \)-Jacobi polynomials are a family of orthogonal polynomials that are part of the larger theory of \( q \)-orthogonal polynomials. They are defined in terms of two parameters, often denoted as \( a \) and \( b \), and a third parameter \( q \) which is a real number between 0 and 1.
Boas–Buck polynomials 1970-01-01
Boas–Buck polynomials are a family of orthogonal polynomials that arise in the study of polynomial approximation theory. They are named after mathematicians Harold P. Boas and Larry Buck, who introduced them in the context of approximating functions on the unit disk. These polynomials can be defined using a specific recursion relation, or equivalently, they can be described using their generating functions.
Boole polynomials 1970-01-01
Boolean polynomials are mathematical expressions that consist of variables that take on values from the Boolean domain, typically 0 and 1. In this context, a Boolean polynomial is constructed using binary operations like AND, OR, and NOT, and it can be expressed in terms of addition (which corresponds to the logical OR operation) and multiplication (which corresponds to the logical AND operation).
