First described in 1965, the moenomycins are a family of phosphoglycolipid antibiotics, metabolites of the bacterial genus Streptomyces. Moenomycin A is the founding member of the antibiotic family with the majority discovered by the end of the late 1970s. Structure The moenomycins can be reduced to three key structu...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanh-sinh%20quadrature
Tanh-sinh quadrature is a method for numerical integration introduced by Hidetoshi Takahashi and Masatake Mori in 1974. It is especially applied where singularities or infinite derivatives exist at one or both endpoints. The method uses hyperbolic functions in the change of variables to transform an integral on th...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heegner%20point
In mathematics, a Heegner point is a point on a modular curve that is the image of a quadratic imaginary point of the upper half-plane. They were defined by Bryan Birch and named after Kurt Heegner, who used similar ideas to prove Gauss's conjecture on imaginary quadratic fields of class number one. Gross–Zagier theor...
