https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biweight%20midcorrelation | In statistics, biweight midcorrelation (also called bicor) is a measure of similarity between samples. It is median-based, rather than mean-based, thus is less sensitive to outliers, and can be a robust alternative to other similarity metrics, such as Pearson correlation or mutual information.
Derivation
Here we find the biweight midcorrelation of two vectors and , with items, representing each item in the vector as and . First, we define as the median of a vector and as the median absolute deviation (MAD), then define and as,
Now we define the weights and as,
where is the identity function where,
Then we normalize so that the sum of the weights is 1:
Finally, we define biweight midcorrelation as,
Applications
Biweight midcorrelation has been shown to be more robust in evaluating similarity in gene expression networks, and is often used for weighted correlation network analysis.
Implementations
Biweight midcorrelation has been implemented in the R statistical programming language as the function bicor as part of the WGCNA package
Also implemented in the Raku programming language as the function bi_cor_coef as part of the Statistics module.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moss%27s%20egg | In Euclidean geometry, Moss's egg is an oval made by smoothly connecting four circular arcs. It can be constructed from a right isosceles triangle ABC with apex C.
To construct Moss's egg:
Draw a semicircle on the base AB of the triangle, outside of the triangle.
Connect it to a circular arc centered at B from A to a point D on line BC, and by another circular arc centered at A from B to a point E on line AC.
Complete the oval by a circular arc centered at C, from D to E.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schinzel%27s%20theorem | In the geometry of numbers, Schinzel's theorem is the following statement:
It was originally proved by and named after Andrzej Schinzel.
Proof
Schinzel proved this theorem by the following construction. If is an even number, with , then the circle given by the following equation passes through exactly points:
This circle has radius , and is centered at the point . For instance, the figure shows a circle with radius through four integer points.
Multiplying both sides of Schinzel's equation by four produces an equivalent equation in integers,
This writes as a sum of two squares, where the first is odd and the second is even. There are exactly ways to write as a sum of two squares, and half are in the order (odd, even) by symmetry. For example, , so we have or , and or , which produces the four points pictured.
On the other hand, if is odd, with , then the circle given by the following equation passes through exactly points:
This circle has radius , and is centered at the point .
Properties
The circles generated by Schinzel's construction are not the smallest possible circles passing through the given number of integer points, but they have the advantage that they are described by an explicit equation.

and by its quantile density function,
,
where , ξ is a location parameter, α and γ are scale parameters and
β and δ are shape parameters.
This distribution was first proposed by Harold A. Thomas Jr., who named it after Wakeby Pond in Cape Cod.
Applications
The Wakeby distribution has been used for modeling distributions of
flood flows,
citation counts,
extreme rainfall,
tidal current speeds,
and peak flows of rivers.
Parameters and domain
The following restrictions apply to the parameters of this distribution:

With two shape parameters, the Wakeby distribution can model a wide variety of shapes.
CDF and PDF
The cumulative distribution function is computed by numerically inverting the quantile function given above. The probability density function is then found by using the following relation (given on page 46 of Johnson, Kotz, and Balakrishnan):
where F is the cumulative distribution function and
An implementation that computes the probability density function of the Wakeby distribution is included in the Dataplot scientific computation library, as routine WAKPDF.
An alternative to the above method is to define the PDF parametrically as . This can be set up as a probability density function, , by solving for the unique in the equation and returning .

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles%20Madison%20Sarratt | Charles Madison Sarratt (1888–1978) was an American academic and administrator. He was the co-author of a textbook on mathematics. He was the chair of the department of mathematics at Vanderbilt University from 1924 to 1946, dean of students from 1939 to 1945, vice-chancellor from 1946 to 1958, and dean of alumni from 1958 to 1978.
Early life
Sarratt was born June 21, 1888, in Gaffney, South Carolina. His father, Robert Clifton Sarratt, served in the South Carolina House of Representatives and the South Carolina Senate. His paternal family was of Welsh descent. His mother, Frances Amos, was the daughter of Confederate veteran and Inman cotton plantation owner Charles McAlwreath Amos and granddaughter of Charles Amos, the co-owner of the Cowpens Iron Works and a slaveholder in the antebellum era.
Sarratt graduated from Limestone College. He then graduated from Cornell University, where he received a bachelor's degree in 1911. He went on to receive a master's degree from Syracuse University in 1915.
Academic career
Sarratt taught in the College of Engineering at Syracuse University from 1913 to 1916. He joined the faculty in the department of mathematics at Vanderbilt University in 1916. He became the dean of men in 1922. Two years later, in 1924, he was appointed chair of the department of mathematics, and served as chair for the next twenty-two years. In 1939, he became dean of students. In 1946, he was appointed as vice-chancellor. He also served as chancellor pro tempore in 1946. From 1958 to 1978, he was retired, yet served as dean of alumni. He was known as "Mr Vanderbilt" or "Dean Sarratt," even after he retired.
With Columbia University professor Thomas Alexander, Sarratt was the co-author of Alexander Sarratt-Arithmetics, a three-volume mathematics textbook published in 1924.
Civic activities
Sarratt was a member of the American Mathematical Society. He was also a member of Phi Beta Kappa, Sigma Xi, and Sigma Nu. He served on the board of directors of the Nashville Chamber of Commerce. He was President of the American Red Cross. He was inducted into the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame in 1967.
In 1960, Sarratt chaired a committee of black leaders like Stephen J. Wright and Walter S. Davis and white businessmen to put an end to the Nashville sit-ins.
Personal life
Sarratt married Mary Dora Houston in 1922. They had a son, Madison "Houston" Sarratt, who married Martha Haley Davis, the daughter of William Lipscomb Davis.
Death and legacy
Sarratt died on March 24, 1978, in Nashville. The Sarratt Student Center on the campus of Vanderbilt University has been named for him since 1974. Inside, the Sarratt Gallery is also named for him. Moreover, his bust is on display there.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean%20operation | In algebraic topology, a mean or mean operation on a topological space X is a continuous, commutative, idempotent binary operation on X. If the operation is also associative, it defines a semilattice. A classic problem is to determine which spaces admit a mean. For example, Euclidean spaces admit a mean -- the usual average of two vectors -- but spheres of positive dimension do not, including the circle.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belavkin%20equation | In quantum probability, the Belavkin equation, also known as Belavkin-Schrödinger equation, quantum filtering equation, stochastic master equation, is a quantum stochastic differential equation describing the dynamics of a quantum system undergoing observation in continuous time. It was derived and henceforth studied by Viacheslav Belavkin in 1988.
Overview
Unlike the Schrödinger equation, which describes the deterministic evolution of the wavefunction of a closed system (without interaction), the Belavkin equation describes the stochastic evolution of a random wavefunction of an open quantum system interacting with an observer:
Here, is a self-adjoint operator (or a column vector of operators) of the system coupled to the external field, is the Hamiltonian, is the imaginary unit, is the Planck constant, and is a stochastic process representing the measurement noise that is a martingale with independent increments with respect to the input probability measure . Note that this noise has dependent increments with respect to the output probability measure representing the output innovation process (the observation). For , the equation becomes the standard Schrödinger equation.
The stochastic process can be a mixture of two basic types: the Poisson (or jump) type , where is a Poisson process corresponding to counting observation, and the Brownian (or diffusion) type , where is the standard Wiener process corresponding to continuous observation. The equations of the diffusion type can be derived as the central limit of the jump type equations with the expected rate of the jumps increasing to infinity.
The random wavefunction is normalized only in the mean-squared sense , but generally fails to be normalized for each . The normalization of for each gives the random posterior state vector , the evolution of which is described by the posterior Belavkin equation, which is nonlinear, because operators and depend on due to normalization. The stochastic process in the posterior equation has independent increments with respect to the output probability measure , but not with respect to the input measure. Belavkin also derived linear equation for unnormalized density operator and the corresponding nonlinear equation for the normalized random posterior density operator . For two types of measurement noise, this gives eight basic quantum stochastic differential equations. The general forms of the equations include all types of noise and their representations in Fock space.
The nonlinear equation describing observation of position of a free particle, which is a special case of the posterior Belavkin equation of the diffusion type, was also obtained by Diosi and appeared in the works of Gisin, Ghirardi, Pearle and Rimini, although with a rather different motivation or interpretation. Similar nonlinear equations for posterior density operators were postulated (although without derivation) in quantum optics and the quantum trajecto |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identifiability%20analysis | Identifiability analysis is a group of methods found in mathematical statistics that are used to determine how well the parameters of a model are estimated by the quantity and quality of experimental data. Therefore, these methods explore not only identifiability of a model, but also the relation of the model to particular experimental data or, more generally, the data collection process.
Introduction
Assuming a model is fit to experimental data, the goodness of fit does not reveal how reliable the parameter estimates are. The goodness of fit is also not sufficient to prove the model was chosen correctly. For example, if the experimental data is noisy or if there is an insufficient number of data points, it could be that the estimated parameter values could vary drastically without significantly influencing the goodness of fit. To address these issues the identifiability analysis could be applied as an important step to ensure correct choice of model, and sufficient amount of experimental data. The purpose of this analysis is either a quantified proof of correct model choice and integrality of experimental data acquired or such analysis can serve as an instrument for the detection of non-identifiable and sloppy parameters, helping planning the experiments and in building and improvement of the model at the early stages.
Structural and practical identifiability analysis
Structural identifiability analysis is a particular type of analysis in which the model structure itself is investigated for non-identifiability. Recognized non-identifiabilities may be removed analytically through substitution of the non-identifiable parameters with their combinations or by another way. The model overloading with number of independent parameters after its application to simulate finite experimental dataset may provide the good fit to experimental data by the price of making fitting results not sensible to the changes of parameters values, therefore leaving parameter values undetermined. Structural methods are also referred to as a priori, because non-identifiability analysis in this case could also be performed prior to the calculation of the fitting score functions, by exploring the number degrees of freedom (statistics) for the model and the number of independent experimental conditions to be varied.
Practical identifiability analysis can be performed by exploring the fit of existing model to experimental data. Once the fitting in any measure was obtained, parameter identifiability analysis can be performed either locally near a given point (usually near the parameter values provided the best model fit) or globally over the extended parameter space. The common example of the practical identifiability analysis is profile likelihood method.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonic%20distribution | In probability theory and statistics, the harmonic distribution is a continuous probability distribution. It was discovered by Étienne Halphen, who had become interested in the statistical modeling of natural events. His practical experience in data analysis motivated him to pioneer a new system of distributions that provided sufficient flexibility to fit a large variety of data sets. Halphen restricted his search to distributions whose parameters could be estimated using simple statistical approaches. Then, Halphen introduced for the first time what he called the harmonic distribution or harmonic law.
The harmonic law is a special case of the generalized inverse Gaussian distribution family when .
History
One of Halphen's tasks, while working as statistician for Electricité de France, was the modeling of the monthly flow of water in hydroelectric stations. Halphen realized that the Pearson system of probability distributions could not be solved; it was inadequate for his purpose despite its remarkable properties. Therefore, Halphen's objective was to obtain a probability distribution with two parameters, subject to an exponential decay both for large and small flows.
In 1941, Halphen decided that, in suitably scaled units, the density of X should be the same as that of 1/X. Taken this consideration, Halphen found the harmonic density function. Nowadays known as a hyperbolic distribution, has been studied by Rukhin (1974) and Barndorff-Nielsen (1978).
The harmonic law is the only one two-parameter family of distributions that is closed under change of scale
and under reciprocals, such that the maximum likelihood estimator of the population mean is the sample
mean (Gauss' principle).
In 1946, Halphen realized that introducing an additional parameter, flexibility could be improved. His efforts led him to generalize the harmonic law to obtain the generalized inverse Gaussian distribution density.
Definition
Notation
The harmonic distribution will be denoted by . As a result, when a random variable X is distributed following a harmonic law, the parameter of scale m is the population median and a is the parameter of shape.
Probability density function
The density function of the harmonic law, which depends on two parameters, has the form,

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glenda%20Lappan | Glenda T. Lappan (born 1939) is a professor emerita of mathematics at Michigan State University. She is known for her work in mathematics education and in particular for developing the widely used Connected Mathematics curriculum for middle school mathematics in the US.
Education and career
Lappan grew up as an only child on a farm in southern Georgia. She did her undergraduate studies at Mercer University, graduating in 1961, and taught at the high school level in Georgia before completing a doctorate at the University of Georgia in 1965. She taught at Michigan State for 50 years, from 1965 until her retirement in 2015.
From 1986 to 1991, Lappan directed the middle school portion of a project by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics to set curriculum and evaluation standards for mathematics. Following that work, she began the Connected Mathematics Project, initially envisioned as a five-year effort to implement the NCTM standards. She served as president of the NCTM from 1998 to 2000, and later as chair of the Mathematical Sciences Education Board of the National Academy of Sciences.
Awards and honors
In 1996 the Association for Women in Mathematics gave her their Louise Hay Award. She was named a University Distinguished Professor at Michigan State in 1998. In 2002, the Connected Mathematics project endowed the Lappan-Phillips-Fitzgerald Endowed Chair in Mathematics Education at Michigan State, named after Lappan and the other two founders of the project. The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics gave her a lifetime achievement award in 2004. In 2008 she and Elizabeth Phillips shared the International Society for Design and Development in Education Prize for Excellence in Educational Design for their work on Connected Mathematics. She was inducted into the Michigan Women's Hall of Fame in 2009.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David%20J.%20Foulis | David James Foulis (July 26, 1930- April 3, 2018) was an American mathematician known for his research on the algebraic foundations of quantum mechanics.
He spent much of his career at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, retiring in 1997 but continuing to be very active in mathematics as professor emeritus. He is the namesake of Foulis semigroups, an algebraic structure that he studied extensively under the alternative name of Baer *-semigroups.
Education
Foulis was born on July 26, 1930, in Hinsdale, Illinois, the son of professional golfer Jim Foulis. As a teenager he moved with his family to Florida, and he graduated magna cum laude from the University of Miami with a degree in physics in 1952. He stayed at Miami for a master's degree in mathematics in 1953. He spent the following year as a graduate student at Tulane University, and then visited the University of Chicago for two years with Irving Kaplansky and Paul Halmos as mentors. Returning to Tulane, he completed his Ph.D. in 1958 under the supervision of one of Kaplansky's students, Fred Boyer Wright, Jr.
Career
After completing his doctorate, Foulis taught for one year in the mathematics department at Lehigh University, four years at Wayne State University, and two years at the University of Florida before moving to the University of Massachusetts as a professor of mathematics and statistics in 1965. He retired in 1997, but continued to be active as a researcher after retirement.
Foulis's doctoral students at Massachusetts have included DIMACS associate director Melvin Janowitz, graph theorist David Sumner, and mathematics and statistics educator and textbook author Patti Frazer Lock.
Publications
The most highly cited of Foulis's research papers is "Effect algebras and unsharp quantum logics" (Foundations of Physics, 1994) which he wrote with his former student and later University of Massachusetts colleague Mary K. Bennett. Foulis is also the author of seven undergraduate textbooks in mathematics. One of his texts, a large red book on calculus, was used as a prop in the 1985 romantic comedy movie The Sure Thing.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic%20Eraser | Algebraic Eraser (AE) is an anonymous key agreement protocol that allows two parties, each having an AE public–private key pair, to establish a shared secret over an insecure channel. This shared secret may be directly used as a key, or to derive another key that can then be used to encrypt subsequent communications using a symmetric key cipher. Algebraic Eraser was developed by Iris Anshel, Michael Anshel, Dorian Goldfeld and Stephane Lemieux. SecureRF owns patents covering the protocol and unsuccessfully attempted (as of July 2019) to standardize the protocol as part of ISO/IEC 29167-20, a standard for securing radio-frequency identification devices and wireless sensor networks.
Keyset parameters
Before two parties can establish a key they must first agree on a set of parameters, called the keyset parameters. These parameters comprise:
, the number of strands in the braid,
, the size of the finite field ,
, the initial NxN seed matrix in ,
, a set of elements in the finite field (also called the T-values), and
a set of conjugates in the braid group designed to commute with each other.
E-multiplication
The fundamental operation of the Algebraic Eraser is a one-way function called E-multiplication. Given a matrix, permutation, an Artin generator in the braid group, and T-values, one applies E-multiplication by converting the generator to a colored Burau matrix and braid permutation, , applying the permutation and T-values, and then multiplying the matrices and permutations. The output of E-multiplication is itself a matrix and permutation pair: .
Key establishment protocol
The following example illustrates how to make a key establishment. Suppose Alice wants to establish a shared key with Bob, but the only channel available may be eavesdropped by a third party. Initially, Alice and Bob must agree on the keyset parameters they will use.
Each party must have a key pair derived from the keyset, consisting of a private key (e.g., in the case of Alice) where is a randomly selected polynomial of the seed matrix and a braid, which is a randomly selected set of conjugates and inverses chosen from the keyset parameters (A for Alice and B for Bob, where (for Alice) ).
From their private key material Alice and Bob each compute their public key and where, e.g., , that is, the result of E-Multiplication of the private matrix and identity-permutation with the private braid.
Each party must know the other party's public key prior to execution of the protocol.
To compute the shared secret, Alice computes and Bob computes . The shared secret is the matrix/permutation pair , which equals . The shared secrets are equal because the conjugate sets and are chosen to commute and both Alice and Bob use the same seed matrix and T-values .
The only information about her private key that Alice initially exposes is her public key. So, no party other than Alice can determine Alice's private key, unless that party can solve the Braid Group |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Center%20for%20Undergraduate%20Research%20in%20Mathematics | The Center for Undergraduate Research in Mathematics (CURM) is an undergraduate mathematical sciences research skills development program funded by a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF). CURM is administered by Occidental College in Los Angeles. It has been recognized by the American Mathematical Society as a Program That Makes a Difference. Its stated goals are to promote undergraduate research at colleges and universities throughout the United States.
History
CURM was founded in 2006 by BYU mathematics professor Michael Dorff. From 2006-2015, 348 undergraduate mathematics students have participated in the program under the direction of 110 professors from 79 different U.S. universities and colleges.
In 2015, the American Mathematical Society (AMS) selected CURM for its “Mathematics Programs that Make a Difference” award for “significant efforts to encourage students from underrepresented groups to continue in the study of mathematics.”
Leadership
Kathryn Leonard is the current director of CURM. She succeeded Michael Dorff who was the director from its founding in 2006 until 2017.
Co-Directors are selected each year. Co-directors have included:
Kathryn Leonard (Occidental College)
Heidi Berger (Simpson College)
Joyati Debnath (Winona State University)
Tyler Jarvis (Brigham Young University)
Nancy Neudauer (Pacific University)
The National Advisory Board consists of:

Jo Ellis-Monaghan (Saint Michael's College)
Joe Gallian (University of Minnesota, Duluth)
Aparna Higgins (University of Dayton)
Darren Narayan (Rochester Institute of Technology)
Judy Walker (University of Nebraska, Lincoln).
Selection of Participants
Mathematics faculty at any U.S. college or university may apply to participate in CURM, but particular attention is given to institutions with underrepresented student groups (HSI, HBCU), and to those that do not provide Ph.D. programs.
Faculty are selected based on an online application form including personal and research statements, a CV, and a letter of support from department chair or dean. Each selected faculty member identifies 2-5 of her/his students for participation based on demographic guidelines established by CURM. Special emphasis is given to females, minorities, 1st generation college students, and disabled students. The number of participating faculty and students depends on funding.
The Program
Faculty members whose applications are accepted by CURM are awarded grants of $15,000-$25,000. These consist of a $3,000 stipend for each participating student, a $6,000 stipend for each professor/mentor, $250 in supply funds, and up to $650 per participant for travel. Beginning in 2016, applicants are required to apply in pairs from two different institutions with an agreement that the two research groups will collaborate during the funding period.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skewed%20generalized%20t%20distribution | In probability and statistics, the skewed generalized "t" distribution is a family of continuous probability distributions. The distribution was first introduced by Panayiotis Theodossiou in 1998. The distribution has since been used in different applications. There are different parameterizations for the skewed generalized t distribution.
Definition
Probability density function
where is the beta function, is the location parameter, is the scale parameter, is the skewness parameter, and and are the parameters that control the kurtosis. and are not parameters, but functions of the other parameters that are used here to scale or shift the distribution appropriately to match the various parameterizations of this distribution.
In the original parameterization of the skewed generalized t distribution,

These values for and yield a distribution with mean of if and a variance of if . In order for to take on this value however, it must be the case that . Similarly, for to equal the above value, .
The parameterization that yields the simplest functional form of the probability density function sets and . This gives a mean of

The parameter controls the skewness of the distribution. To see this, let denote the mode of the distribution, and
Since , the probability left of the mode, and therefore right of the mode as well, can equal any value in (0,1) depending on the value of . Thus the skewed generalized t distribution can be highly skewed as well as symmetric. If , then the distribution is negatively skewed. If , then the distribution is positively skewed. If , then the distribution is symmetric.
Finally, and control the kurtosis of the distribution. As and get smaller, the kurtosis increases (i.e. becomes more leptokurtic). Large values of and yield a distribution that is more platykurtic.
Moments
Let be a random variable distributed with the skewed generalized t distribution. The moment (i.e. ), for , is:
The mean, for , is:
The variance (i.e. ), for , is:
The skewness (i.e. ), for , is:
The kurtosis (i.e. ), for , is:
Special Cases
Special and limiting cases of the skewed generalized t distribution include the skewed generalized error distribution, the generalized t distribution introduced by McDonald and Newey, the skewed t proposed by Hansen, the skewed Laplace distribution, the generalized error distribution (also known as the generalized normal distribution), a skewed normal distribution, the student t distribution, the skewed Cauchy distribution, the Laplace distribution, the uniform distribution, the normal distribution, and the Cauchy distribution. The graphic below, adapted from Hansen, McDonald, and Newey, shows which parameters should be set to obtain some of the different special values of the skewed generalized t distribution.

Sprague, Jr. Professorship of Life Sciences at Harvey Mudd. She chaired the Department of Mathematics in 2008-2009 and again from 2014 to 2019. She directed the Harvey Mudd College Global Clinic program from 2009 to 2014. She is also the co-director of the Harvey Mudd College Center for Quantitative Life Sciences.
Education
De Pillis earned her Ph.D. in 1993 from the University of California, Los Angeles under the supervision of Heinz-Otto Kreiss. Her dissertation was Far Field Behavior of Slightly Compressible Flows.
Research
Her early research concerned computational fluid dynamics. In around 2000, she became interested in cancer immunology, and began doing research on population models and cellular automata models featuring cells of three types: normal cells, cancer cells, and immune cells. By augmenting the model to include cancer treatments and applying control theory, she was able to devise techniques that could lead to more effective personalized treatments for cancer. Her continuing research has produced mathematical models of newly developing immunotherapies, combination therapies, and the emergence of autoimmune diseases.
Recognition
The Argonne National Laboratory named her their Maria Goeppert-Mayer Argonne Distinguished Scholar for 1999–2000.
In 2016 she was elected as a fellow of the American Mathematical Society. In 2017 she was a HERS-CBL Clare Boothe Luce Leadership in STEM Scholar. In 2019 she was awarded the MAA Southern California-Nevada Section Award for Distinguished College or University Teaching of Mathematics.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerrit%20Lekkerkerker | Cornelis Gerrit Lekkerkerker (Harmelen, 7 February 1922 – 24 July 1999) was a Dutch mathematician.
Education and career
Lekkerkerker studied mathematics at Utrecht University during the periods 1940-1943 and 1945-1949 under Jurjen Koksma and Jan Popken. After completing his studies in 1949, he started work at the Amsterdam Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (National Research Institute for Mathematics and Computer Science), where he worked under Koksma in the pure mathematics division. In the academic year 1953-1954, he studied in Rome. In 1955 he received his doctorate under the guidance of Popken with the thesis On the Zeros of a Class of Dirichlet-Series; in Dutch: Over de nulpunten in een klasse van Dirichletreeksen.
Beginning in 1961, he was a professor at the University of Amsterdam, succeeding Nicolaas Govert de Bruijn. He was the director of the Mathematical Institute during the student protests of 1969-1973. In 1984, although he had not yet reached retirement age, he resigned his professorship over differences in the teaching of mathematical analysis, feeling that his academic freedom was under threat.
He was a co-editor of Mededelingen van het Wiskundig Genootschap (correspondence of the Mathematical Society).
Research
Lekkerkerker worked on analytic and geometric number theory. He wrote the standard work Geometry of Numbers, first published in 1969. Later he worked on topics in functional analysis. In the 1970s, he turned his attention towards the mathematical treatment of topics in nuclear physics (e.g. neutron transport) and astrophysics (e.g. radiation transport within stars). Afterwards he worked with Rutger Hangelbroek, who did his doctorate under Lekkerkerker in 1973 at the University of Groningen, and Hans Kaper of the Argonne National Laboratory. He also contributed to topics in graph theory and topology.
After retiring, he remained active in mathematics: for example, he brought out a second edition of Geometry of Numbers along with Peter Grüber. This field now found new applications in coding theory.
While Zeckendorf's theorem on the representation of integers by sums of non-consecutive Fibonacci numbers is named after a paper by Edouard Zeckendorf in 1972, the same result had been published 20 years earlier by Lekkerkerker.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean%20Prestet | Jean Prestet (1648–1690) was a French Oratorian priest and mathematician who contributed to the fields of combinatorics and number theory.
Prestet grew up poor. As a teenager, he worked as a servant of the Oratory of Jesus in Paris. He was promoted to scribe for Nicolas Malebranche, who taught him mathematics.
Under the guidance of Malebranche, Prestet began work in 1670 on the textbook Elémens des Mathématiques inspired by the style of fellow Oratorian Antoine Arnauld. Unusually for the time, the textbook focused exclusively on algebra but did not cover geometry at all. Prestet believed that algebra was the most fundamental field of mathematics, and geometry merely applied algebra. Gert Schubring writes that "[t]he self-confidence of Prestet in claiming superiority for the 'moderns' over the 'ancients' … proved to be a bold and modernizing approach, disseminating Cartesian conceptions and preparing the way for rationalism in France."
The book contained a proof of Descartes' rule of signs that Prestet later acknowledged to be incomplete. It also included a generalization of Euclid's lemma to non-prime divisors.
Elémens was published in 1675 by the Oratorian order for use in the curriculum of the many Oratorian colleges. Starting in the early 17th century, the order had founded colleges in smaller cities and towns to challenge the influence of the Jesuits. Elémens was one of several textbooks published around that time by notable Oratorian mathematics instructors including Bernard Lamy. Abraham de Moivre used Elémens in an abortive early attempt to teach himself mathematics.
With the publication of Elémens, Prestet's reputation as a mathematics instructor grew. He was appointed the mathematical chair at the University of Angers in 1681. A revised and expanded edition, titled Nouveaux Elémens des mathématiques, was published in 1689. This edition included some early work on the fundamental theorem of arithmetic.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conophytum%20calculus | Conophytum calculus is a small South African species of succulent plant in the family Aizoaceae.
Description
Rounded ball-shaped succulent plant, that divides to form dense clumps. The resemblance to pebbles and the firmness of its flesh is what got it its name ("calculus" is Latin for "pebble").
It produces yellow or orange flowers in autumn, that open at night, and have the aroma of cloves.
The ball shape is formed from the plant's leaf-pair having fused entirely, leaving only a tiny slit at the top, where the flower and the succeeding leaf pair pushes through. The new leaf-pair forms inside the ball. When it is ready, the ball of the old leaf-pair shrivels and dries out, before it is split open by the new leaf-pair ball. The epidermis (and therefore the dried leaf sheath too) is thick and strong.
The plants are extremely long-lived, and individuals have been kept in cultivation for over 50 years. They offset slowly, forming clumps.
Subspecies
C. calculus subsp. calculus. The type subspecies has round uniformly grey-green heads, smooth sheaths, and offsets to form mounds.
C. calculus subsp. vanzylii (Lavis) S.A.Hammer. This form has smaller, paler, less scented flowers, marked sheaths, a more variable colour, and a more depressed, flattish, globose shape.
Distribution
Conophytums are all indigenous to the winter rainfall regions of southern Africa. Conophytum calculus subsp. calculus is restricted to the "Knersvlakte" region, in the far north-west of the Western Cape Province, South Africa. Here it is confined to the area between Bitterfontein and Holsrivier. The subspecies vanzylii occurs over 100 km to the north, in the western part of Bushmanland.
The "Knersvlakte" is a region of white, quartz pebble-fields. Therefore, in spite of the semi-arid climate and desiccating sun, the soil is typically quite cool (due to the reflective white of the quartz pebble-fields). The clove-scented flowers are pollinated by moths at night.
Cultivation
This species is popular in cultivation. However it requires much bright light, very well-drained sand, and specific winter-watering conditions.
They thrive in pots, in a mildly-acidic, coarse, extremely well-drained, soil-sand mix. In winter they can be lightly watered (from spring right through to autumn) and given bright morning light with afternoon shade.
In summer they go dormant, and should be kept mostly dry and can even be partially shaded.
The plant produces obvious wrinkles when it requires more water.
It cracks and splits open when it receives too much water.
It elongates and keeps multiple leaf pairs if it does not receive enough light.
They can be propagated by cuttings, subdivision of clumps, or by seed.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew%20H.%20Wallace | Andrew Hugh Wallace (1926 – 18 January 2008) was a Scottish-American mathematician.
Biography
Andrew Hugh Wallace was born and raised in Edinburgh, Scotland. He received in 1946 an MA in mathematics from Edinburgh University and in 1949 a PhD from St. Andrews University with thesis Rational integral functions and associated linear transformations. In the 1950s he was an assistant professor of mathematics at the University of Toronto in Canada. In 1959 he became a professor at Indiana University's mathematics department, where he was also department chair. In 1965 he left Indiana to become a mathematics professor at the University of Pennsylvania, where he remained until his retirement as professor emeritus in 1986. For the academic year 1964–1965 and the first five months of 1968 he was a visiting scholar at the Institute for Advanced Study.
In addition to his work in mathematics, Andrew Wallace was an accomplished pianist, dancer, painter, and sailor. His greatest passion during his later life was sailing. He maintained a 35-foot craft. After his retirement, he and a small crew sailed his boat across the Atlantic and Mediterranean to his new home in Crete. He lived in Crete with his second wife Dimitra until he died in 2008.
Upon his death he was survived by his first wife, Angela Wallace (now Angela Kern) and three daughters: Linda Kipp, Susan George, and Corinne Summers. He was also survived by his second wife, Dimitra Chilari and a step-daughter, Irene Chilari. His name is attached to the Lickorish-Wallace theorem.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reality%20pedagogy | Reality pedagogy is a teaching and learning approach which is introduced by Christopher Emdin, professor in the Department of Mathematics, Science and Technology at Teachers College, Columbia University. This approach focuses on the understanding of students by the teacher. Here the teaching and learning is based on the reality of the student's experience. The teacher recognizes each student and from where he/she has come, it can be their culture or the community they belong to. Based on the information got by the teacher of the student, he/she uses that in the classroom as a point for instruction.
This approach also points out the need to create a space or environment where reality is brought into the classroom. The students should be able to relate to what the teacher teaches in class. The student's reality is the determinant of his/her behavior in the classroom. Therefore, the teacher needs to know the students, in order to have effective teaching and learning experience. Reality Pedagogy also brings to light critical thinking, where the role of the teacher is to create situations and engage students in critical thinking. This also allows them to express their views and voice out their opinion or ideas.
The 5 C's
To have effective teaching and learning, there needs to be exchange of knowledge and skills between the teacher and students. This is done by tools called "5 C's", which allows the exchange of expertise.
Cogenerative dialogue- Here the students and teacher discuss the class environment, whether the classes are helpful or not, and if not, what can be done to improve it.
Co-teaching- Learning is more effective when one teaches. In this context, the teacher let's students make lesson plan and teach in the class. The teacher takes the place of the student, and the student takes place of the teacher. As a student knows the way in which they learn better, they know how to deliver or convey the information better and effectively. The student is allowed to teach from his/her own experiences.
Cosmopolitanism- This tool focuses on equal distribution of classroom responsibility, so that the class benefits and progresses.
Context- It is the use of certain behaviors of outside of the classroom, in the classroom. This makes learning effective as the students are as comfortable as they would be outside of the classroom environment.
Content- The teacher needs to focus on the content that is more relevant and which can be easy to relate to the student's real experiences. The teacher needs to also know the level of students capabilities and transact the content.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalized%20helicoid | In geometry, a generalized helicoid is a surface in Euclidean space generated by rotating and simultaneously displacing a curve, the profile curve, along a line, its axis. Any point of the given curve is the starting point of a circular helix. If the profile curve is contained in a plane through the axis, it is called the meridian of the generalized helicoid. Simple examples of generalized helicoids are the helicoids. The meridian of a helicoid is a line which intersects the axis orthogonally.
Essential types of generalized helicoids are
ruled generalized helicoids. Their profile curves are lines and the surfaces are ruled surfaces.
circular generalized helicoids. Their profile curves are circles.
In mathematics helicoids play an essential role as minimal surfaces.
In the technical area generalized helicoids are used for staircases, slides, screws, and pipes.
Analytical representation
Screw motion of a point
Moving a point on a screwtype curve means, the point is rotated and displaced along a line (axis) such that the displacement is proportional to the rotation-angle. The result is a circular helix.
If the axis is the z-axis, the motion of a point can be described parametrically by
is called slant, the angle , measured in radian, is called the screw angle and the pitch (green). The trace of the point is a circular helix (red). It is contained in the surface of a right circular cylinder. Its radius is the distance of point to the z-axis.
In case of , the helix is called right handed; otherwise, it is said to be left handed.
(In case of the motion is a rotation around the z-axis.)
Screw motion of a curve
The screw motion of curve
yields a generalized helicoid with the parametric representation
The curves are circular helices.
The curves are copies of the given profile curve.
Example: For the first picture above, the meridian is a parabola.
Ruled generalized helicoids
Types
If the profile curve is a line one gets a ruled generalized helicoid. There are four types:
(1) The line intersects the axis orthogonally. One gets a helicoid (closed right ruled generalized helicoid).
(2) The line intersects the axis, but not orthogonally. One gets an oblique closed type.
If the given line and the axis are skew lines one gets an open type and the axis is not part of the surface (s. picture).
(3) If the given line and the axis are skew lines and the line is contained in a plane orthogonally to the axis one gets a right open type or shortly open helicoid.

Oblique types do intersect themselves (s. picture), right types (helicoids) do not.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean%20dimension | In mathematics, the mean (topological) dimension of a topological dynamical system is a non-negative extended real number that is a measure of the complexity of the system. Mean dimension was first introduced in 1999 by Gromov. Shortly after it was developed and studied systematically by Lindenstrauss and Weiss. In particular they proved the following key fact: a system with finite topological entropy has zero mean dimension. For various topological dynamical systems with infinite topological entropy, the mean dimension can be calculated or at least bounded from below and above. This allows mean dimension to be used to distinguish between systems with infinite topological entropy. Mean dimension is also related to the problem of embedding topological dynamical systems in shift spaces (over Euclidean cubes).
General definition
A topological dynamical system consists of a compact Hausdorff topological space and a continuous self-map . Let denote the collection of open finite covers of . For define its order by
An open finite cover refines , denoted , if for every , there is so that . Let

Let be open finite covers of . The join of and is the open finite cover by all sets of the form where , . Similarly one can define the join of any finite collection of open covers of .
The mean dimension is the non-negative extended real number:

Definition in the metric case
If the compact Hausdorff topological space is metrizable and is a compatible metric, an equivalent definition can be given. For , let be the minimal non-negative integer , such that there exists an open finite cover of by sets of diameter less than such that any distinct sets from this cover have empty intersection. Note that in terms of this definition the Lebesgue covering dimension is defined by . Let
The mean dimension is the non-negative extended real number:
Properties
Mean dimension is an invariant of topological dynamical systems taking values in .
If the Lebesgue covering dimension of the system is finite then its mean dimension vanishes, i.e. .
If the topological entropy of the system is finite then its mean dimension vanishes, i.e. .

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tukey%E2%80%93Duckworth%20test | In statistics, the Tukey–Duckworth test is a two-sample location test – a statistical test of whether one of two samples was significantly greater than the other. It was introduced by John Tukey, who aimed to answer a request by W. E. Duckworth for a test simple enough to be remembered and applied in the field without recourse to tables, let alone computers.
Given two groups of measurements of roughly the same size, where one group contains the highest value and the other the lowest value, then (i) count the number of values in the one group exceeding all values in the other, (ii) count the number of values in the other group falling below all those in the one, and (iii) sum these two counts (we require that neither count be zero). The critical values of the total count are, roughly, 7, 10, and 13, i.e. 7 for a two sided 5% level, 10 for a two sided 1% level, and 13 for a two sided 0.1% level.
The test loses some accuracy if the samples are quite large (greater than 30) or much different in size (ratio more than 4:3). Tukey's paper describes adjustments for these conditions.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koreans%20in%20Venezuela | Koreans in Venezuela (also known as Korean Venezuelans) form one of the smallest Korean communities in Latin America, according to the statistics of South Korea's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade.
History
The South Korean community in Venezuela began when Chiong Hoe-Nyun, who studied the Spanish language at the Hankuk University of Foreign Studies (HUFS) in Seoul, migrated to Maracaibo in the early 1960s. Immigration from South Korea increased with Venezuela's economic prosperity in the 1970s, and a South Korean embassy opened in Caracas in 1973. There were 300 South Koreans living in Venezuela as of 2011.
Culture
Since 2010, Korean culture has acquired some interest from the young Venezuelan community, which has been helped by support from the local South Korean community. The South Korean embassy in Caracas and several cultural organizations such as Asociación Venezolana de la Cultura Coreana (AVCC) and Unión de Amantes de Corea (UAC) have promoted numerous events in honor to promote K-pop/K-rock music and Korean cinema, cuisine, drama, language, and art in Venezuela. The Festival Hallyu, which promotes Korean culture, has sent Venezuelans to compete in the K-Pop World Festival.
Sport
Taekwondo was brought to Venezuela between 1968 and 1970 by three South Korean teachers: Howo Kan in the Capital District, Cho Kon in Carabobo, and Hong Ki Kim in Anzoategui. Since then, the sport has gained popularity in Venezuela and the country has accumulated major singles titles, making itself one of the world leaders in Taekwondo during the 1980s and 1990s.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractalgrid | In electric power distribution, a fractalgrid is a system-of-systems architecture of distributed energy resources or DERs.
In a fractalgrid topology, multiple microgrids are strategically arranged to follow a fractal or recursive pattern. Fractals, or self-similar patterns, can be seen in nature. Clouds, river networks, and lightning bolts are a few examples of natural phenomena that display fractal features. In a fractalgrid, a microgrid may be composed of smaller microgrids or “fractal units”. In such a configuration, the network becomes one of simplified power flows and communications through distributed substations.
Variations
There are two main variations of the fractalgrid concept. Though not mutually exclusive, CleanSpark's FractalGrid architecture is a bottom-up implementation while NRECA's flows from the top-down to reach similar architectural quality attributes.
CleanSpark's FractalGrid
This variation is a command-and-control platform that integrates energy storage technology with on-site generation, monitored by a distributed data monitoring and controls system. The fundamental goals of the fractalgrid are to ensure energy security to critical facilities and functions of the local area while reducing overall cost.
Features include clean energy storage integration, technology-agnostic implementation, load management, demand response, peak shaving, and real-time energy optimization.
Within a fractalgrid, microgrids are placed in parent-child relationships in which a child microgrid can be islanded from its parent microgrid. Each fractal microgrid can operate autonomously or federated with others. The federated state allows for sharing of resources but also allows for disconnection in the cases of maintenance and emergencies. In the same way that microgrids are able to island from the utility when needed, fractal microgrids can disconnect from one another in order to maintain power supply to critical loads.
The fractalgrid was conceived in 2012 by Art Villanueva, CleanSpark's founding CTO and CSO and designed and implemented by Jennifer Worrall. The implementation uses recursion and bounds complexity to O(N).
Camp Pendleton FractalGrid Demonstration (CPFD)
Starting July 2014, an active fractalgrid has been active in San Diego County, California at military base Camp Pendleton, funded by the California Energy Commission to exhibit the uses of fractalgrid technology. The Camp Pendleton fractalgrid is connected to a 1.1 MW facility consisting of several buildings at the Barracks, a three-story parking garage and three cell towers. The project implements three self-sufficient fractal microgrids and a larger microgrid that interconnects the site such that resources can be shared between microgrids in various configurations. Each fractal microgrid's operational status is dependent on the state of power supply and the need to keep critical loads powered. Using real-time data, the system monitors the energy consumption levels and evaluat |

Education and career
He obtained his Ph.D. from Charles University in Prague in 2004, under the supervision of Jan Kratochvíl. After short-term positions at TU Berlin, Charles University, and the Georgia Institute of Technology, he returned to Charles University as a researcher in 2006, and became a tenured associate professor there in 2010. He was awarded the degree of Doctor of Science by the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic in 2012, and in the same year moved to a professorship at the University of Warwick.
In 2018, Kráľ moved back to the Czech Republic and started working at Faculty of Informatics, Masaryk University, accepting the Donald Knuth professorship chair.
Contributions
In the 1970s, Michael D. Plummer and László Lovász
conjectured that every bridgeless cubic graph has an exponential number of perfect matchings, strengthening Petersen's theorem that at least one perfect matching exists. In a pair of papers with different sets of co-authors, Kráľ was able to show that this conjecture is true.
Recognition
Kráľ won first place and a gold medal at the International Olympiad in Informatics in 1996.
In 2011, Kráľ won the European Prize in Combinatorics for his work in graph theory, particularly citing his solution to the Plummer–Lovász conjecture and his results on graph coloring. In 2014, he won a Philip Leverhulme Prize in Mathematics and Statistics; the award citation again included Kráľ's research on the Plummer–Lovász conjecture, as well as other publications of Kráľ on pseudorandom permutations and systems of equations.

Biography
Enright received a B.S. from Harvard University in 1969 and a Ph.D. in 1973 from the University of Washington under the direction of Ramesh A. Gangolli. From 1973 to 1975 he was the Hedrick Assistant Professor in UCLA working with Veeravalli S. Varadarajan, and spent the 1976-1977 year after in the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton, N. J. before starting at University of California at San Diego in 1977. He was chair of the mathematics department of UCSD from 1986 to 1990. In 2010 he retired due symptoms of Parkinson's disease.
Contributions
In the mid-1970s, Enright introduced new methods that led him to an algebraic way of looking at discrete series (which were fundamental representations constructed by Harish-Chandra in the early 1960s), and to an algebraic proof of the Blattner multiplicity formula.
He was known for Enright–Varadarajan modules, Enright resolutions, and the Enright completion functor, which has had a lasting influence in algebra.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zvezdelina%20Stankova | Zvezdelina Entcheva Stankova (; born 15 September 1969) is an American mathematician who is a professor of mathematics at Mills College and a teaching professor at the University of California, Berkeley, the founder of the Berkeley Math Circle, and an expert in the combinatorial enumeration of permutations with forbidden patterns.
Biography
Stankova was born in Ruse, Bulgaria. She began attending the Ruse math circle as a fifth grader in Bulgaria, the same year she learned to solve the Rubik's Cube and began winning regional mathematics competitions. She later wrote of this experience that "if I was not a member of Ruse SMC I would not be able to make such profound achievements in mathematics". She became a student at an elite English-language high school, and competed on the Bulgarian team in the International Mathematical Olympiads in 1987 and 1988, earning silver medals both times. She entered Sofia University but in 1989, as the Iron Curtain was falling, became one of 15 Bulgarian students selected to travel to the US to complete their studies.
Stankova studied at Bryn Mawr College, completing bachelor's and master's degrees there in 1992, with Rhonda Hughes as a faculty mentor. While an undergraduate, she participated in a summer research program with Joseph Gallian at the University of Minnesota Duluth, which began her interest in permutation patterns. Next, she went to Harvard University for her doctoral studies, and earned a Ph.D. there in 1997; her dissertation, entitled Moduli of Trigonal Curves, was supervised by Joe Harris.
She worked at the University of California, Berkeley as Morrey Assistant Professor of Mathematics before joining the Mills College faculty in 1999, and continues to teach one course per year as a visiting professor at Berkeley. She also serves on the advisory board of the Proof School in San Francisco.
Contributions
In the theory of permutation patterns, Stankova is known for proving that the permutations with the forbidden pattern 1342 are equinumerous with the permutations with forbidden pattern 2413, an important step in the enumeration of permutations avoiding a pattern of length 4.
In 1998 she became the founder and director of the Berkeley Math Circle, an after-school mathematics enrichment program that Stankova modeled after her early experiences learning mathematics in Bulgaria. The Berkeley circle was only the second math circle in the US (after one in Boston); following its success, over 100 other circles have been created, and Stankova has assisted in the formation of many of them.
Also in 1998, she founded the Bay Area Mathematical Olympiad. For six years, she served as a coach of the US International Mathematical Olympiad team.
Since 2013, she has featured in several videos on the mathematics-themed YouTube channel "Numberphile".
