https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft%20Math%20Solver | Microsoft Math Solver (formerly Microsoft Mathematics and Microsoft Math) is an entry-level educational app that solves math and science problems. Developed and maintained by Microsoft, it is primarily targeted at students as a learning tool. Until 2015, it ran on Microsoft Windows. Since then, it has been developed fo... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector%20potential | In vector calculus, a vector potential is a vector field whose curl is a given vector field. This is analogous to a scalar potential, which is a scalar field whose gradient is a given vector field.
Formally, given a vector field v, a vector potential is a vector field A such that

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ram%20air%20turbine | A ram air turbine (RAT) is a small wind turbine that is connected to a hydraulic pump, or electrical generator, installed in an aircraft and used as a power source. The RAT generates power from the airstream by ram pressure due to the speed of the aircraft. It may be called an air driven generator (ADG) on some aircra... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Very%20Large%20Hadron%20Collider | The Very Large Hadron Collider (VLHC) was a proposed future hadron collider planned to be located at Fermilab. The VLHC was planned to be located in a ring, using the Tevatron as an injector. The VLHC would run in two stages, initially the Stage-1 VLHC would have a collision energy of 40 TeV, and a luminosity of at le... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SLEPc | SLEPc is a software library for the parallel computation of eigenvalues and eigenvectors of large, sparse matrices. It can be seen as a module of PETSc that provides solvers for different types of eigenproblems, including linear (standard and generalized) and nonlinear (quadratic, polynomial and general), as well as th... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friis%20transmission%20equation | The Friis transmission formula is used in telecommunications engineering, equating the power at the terminals of a receive antenna as the product of power density of the incident wave and the effective aperture of the receiving antenna under idealized conditions given another antenna some distance away transmitting a k... |

Kresch won a silver medal at the 1989 International Mathematical Olympiad. He studied at the Yale University and received his PhD from University of Chicago in 1998 under the su... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parabolic%20bursting | A parabolic bursting neuron has the characteristic that the frequency of spikes increase and decrease through the burst. Thus the frequency curve of a given burst takes the form of a parabola, hence the name "parabolic burst".
One such neuron that parabolically bursts is the Aplysia R-15 neuron. |
