https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero%20bias%20transform
The zero-bias transform is a transform from one probability distribution to another. The transform arises in applications of Stein's method in probability and statistics. Formal definition The zero bias transform may be applied to both discrete and continuous random variables. The zero bias transform of a density function , defined for all real numbers , is the function , defined by where s and t are real numbers and f(t) is the density or mass function of the random variable T. An equivalent but alternative approach is to deduce the nature of the transformed random variable by evaluating the expected value where the right-side superscript denotes a zero biased random variable whereas the left hand side expectation represents the original random variable. An example from each approach is given in the examples section beneath. If the random variable is discrete the integral becomes a sum from positive infinity to s. The zero bias transform is taken for a mean zero, variance 1 random variable which may require a location-scale transform to the random variable. Applications The zero bias transformation arises in applications where a normal approximation is desired. Similar to Stein's method the zero bias transform is often applied to sums of random variables with each summand having finite variance an mean zero. The zero bias transform has been applied to CDO tranche pricing. Examples 1. Consider a Bernoulli(p) random variable B with Pr(B = 0) = 1 − p. The zero bias transform of T = (B − p) is: where h is the derivative of H. From there it follows that the random variable S is a continuous uniform random variable on the support (−p, 1 − p). This example shows how the zero bias transform smooths a discrete distribution into a continuous distribution. 2. Consider the continuous uniform on the support . This example shows that the zero bias transform takes continuous symmetric distributions and makes them unimodular. References Theory of probability distributions Transforms
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon%20Duchin
Moon Duchin is an American mathematician who works as a professor at Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts. Her mathematical research concerns geometric topology, geometric group theory, and Teichmüller theory. She has done significant research on the mathematics of redistricting and gerrymandering, and founded a research group, MGGG Redistricting Lab, to advance these mathematical studies and their nonpartisan application in the real world of US politics. She is also interested in the cultural studies, philosophy, and history of science. Duchin is one of the core faculty members and serves as director of the Science, Technology, and Society program at Tufts. Early life and education Duchin was given her first name, Moon, by parents "on the science-y fringes of the hippie classification". She grew up knowing from a young age that she wanted to become a mathematician. As a student at Stamford High School in Connecticut, she completed the regular high school mathematics curriculum in her sophomore year, and continued to learn mathematics through independent study. She was active in math and science camps and competitions, and did a summer research project in the geometry of numbers with Noam Elkies. Duchin studied at Harvard University as an undergraduate, where she was also active in queer organizing, and finished a double major in mathematics and women's studies in 1998. At the time, she was unsure how to combine the two majors into a single thesis, so she decided to write two separate ones. As a graduate student in mathematics at the University of Chicago, she continued feminist activism by teaching gender studies and pushing the university to add gender-neutral bathrooms, and was mentioned mockingly by name on the Rush Limbaugh show. She completed her doctorate in 2005, under the supervision of Alex Eskin. She was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of California at Davis, and the University of Michigan, before joining the Tufts faculty in 2011. Work Duchin's mathematical research has focused on geometric topology, geometric group theory, and Teichmüller theory. For example, one of her results is that, for a broad class of locally flat surfaces, the geometry of the surface is entirely determined by the shortest length in each homotopy class of simple closed curves. In 2022 Duchin appeared in the Netflix documentary A Trip to Infinity, discussing the mathematical implications of infinity. Duchin's expertise in geometry has led her to conduct research on the mathematics of gerrymandering. A key aspect of this research is the geometric notion of the compactness of a given political district, a numerical measure that attempts to quantify how extensively gerrymandered it is. “What courts have been looking for is one definition of compactness that they can understand, that we can compute, and that they can use as a kind of go-to standard”, she said in an interview with The Chronicle of Higher Education.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History%20of%20mechanical%20engineering
Mechanical engineering is a discipline centered around the concept of using force multipliers, moving components, and machines. It utilizes knowledge of mathematics, physics, materials sciences, and engineering technologies. It is one of the oldest and broadest of the engineering disciplines. Dawn of civilization to early middle ages Engineering arose in early civilization as a general discipline for the creation of large scale structures such as irrigation, architecture, and military projects. Advances in food production through irrigation allowed a portion of the population to become specialists in Ancient Babylon. All six of the classic simple machines were known in the ancient Near East. The wedge and the inclined plane (ramp) were known since prehistoric times. The wheel, along with the wheel and axle mechanism, was invented in Mesopotamia (modern Iraq) during the 5th millennium BC. The lever mechanism first appeared around 5,000 years ago in the Near East, where it was used in a simple balance scale, and to move large objects in ancient Egyptian technology. The lever was also used in the shadoof water-lifting device, the first crane machine, which appeared in Mesopotamia circa 3000 BC, and then in ancient Egyptian technology circa 2000 BC. The earliest evidence of pulleys date back to Mesopotamia in the early 2nd millennium BC, and ancient Egypt during the Twelfth Dynasty (1991-1802 BC). The screw, the last of the simple machines to be invented, first appeared in Mesopotamia during the Neo-Assyrian period (911-609) BC. The Egyptian pyramids were built using three of the six simple machines, the inclined plane, the wedge, and the lever, to create structures like the Great Pyramid of Giza. The Assyrians were notable in their use of metallurgy and incorporation of iron weapons. Many of their advancements were in military equipment. They were not the first to develop them, but did make advancements on the wheel and the chariot. They made use of pivot-able axles on their wagons, allowing easy turning. They were also one of the first armies to use the move-able siege tower and battering ram. The application of mechanical engineering can be seen in the archives of various ancient societies. The pulley appeared in Mesopotamia in 1,500 BC, improving water transportation. German Archaeologist Robert Koldewey found that the Hanging Gardens likely used a mechanical pump powered by these pulleys to transport water to the roof gardens. The Mesopotamians would advance even further by replacing "the substitution of continuous for intermittent motion, and the rotary for back-and-forth motion" by 1,200 BC. The Sakia was developed in the kingdom of Kush during the 4th century BC. It lifted water 3 to 8 metres with less expenditure of labor and time. Reservoirs in the form of Hafirs were developed in Kush to store water and boost irrigation. Bloomeries and blast furnaces were developed during the seventh century BC in Meroe.

Ami Elizabeth Radunskaya is an American mathematician and musician. She is a professor of mathematics at Pomona College, where she specializes in dynamical systems and the applications of mathematics to medicine, such as the use of cellular automata to model drug delivery. In 2016 she was elected as the president of the Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM). Early life and music Radunskaya, the daughter of a UC Berkeley economist, began playing the cello as a 9-year-old. After graduating from high school at the age of 16, she took ten years off from her education to work as cellist and music composer, including seven years as a member of the Oakland Symphony. As "a well known Bay Area cellist specializing in new music", she "performed throughout the U.S. and Europe with Don Buchla." In the late 1970s, Buchla Electronic Musical Instruments made a custom synthesizer for her, the "Sili-Con Cello", and several of her works use the radio baton, a controller for electronic music devices in the form of a conductor's baton. One of her cello and radio baton compositions, "A Wild and Reckless Place" (1990), is known for its use of the Bohlen–Pierce scale. Education Radunskaya did her undergraduate studies at the University of California, Berkeley, as a single mother. There, she studied computer science and chemistry before eventually majoring in mathematics. She completed her doctorate in mathematics at Stanford University in 1992, under the supervision of Donald Samuel Ornstein; her dissertation was titled Statistical Properties of Deterministic Bernoulli Flows. Mathematics career After postdoctoral studies at Rice University, as the only woman in the mathematics department there, she joined the Pomona College faculty in 1994.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quickboat
The Quickboat is a folding boat, based on the flat-out-boat geometry. It is constructed using composites with high density foam cores. The first boats were due for release to the public in mid-2013. Before release, the Quickboat was expected to weigh around 50 kg, seat four people, and to have a capacity for up to a 9.8 hp engine providing it with top speeds in excess of 20 knots. In November 2012, Quickboats launched a crowd-funding campaign on Indiegogo, and within 26 hours had already reached their goal. By the end of the campaign, the company had secured over $65,000 in funding with investors from 44 different countries. In 2012 Quickboat Holdings Ltd acquired all of the initial technology for Quickboats from Quickstep Holdings Ltd, a public aerospace company specializing in advanced composite manufacturing and technology development. The simple five-piece click together assembly process and one minute assembly time is intended to do more than just please recreational boaters. The company is in engaged in talks with aid organizations and government agencies to use the boats in "first response" rescue efforts in floods and other disasters. However, its creators say it is only suitable for use in bays, rivers or lakes and not for ocean travel, channel crossings or commercial fishing. Specifications Length: 3.7m Beam: 1.7m max.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scheme-theoretic%20intersection
In algebraic geometry, the scheme-theoretic intersection of closed subschemes X, Y of a scheme W is , the fiber product of the closed immersions . It is denoted by . Locally, W is given as for some ring R and X, Y as for some ideals I, J. Thus, locally, the intersection is given as Here, we used (for this identity, see tensor product of modules#Examples.) Example: Let be a projective variety with the homogeneous coordinate ring S/I, where S is a polynomial ring. If is a hypersurface defined by some homogeneous polynomial f in S, then If f is linear (deg = 1), it is called a hyperplane section. See also: Bertini's theorem. Now, a scheme-theoretic intersection may not be a correct intersection, say, from the point of view of intersection theory. For example, let = the affine 4-space and X, Y closed subschemes defined by the ideals and . Since X is the union of two planes, each intersecting with Y at the origin with multiplicity one, by the linearity of intersection multiplicity, we expect X and Y intersect at the origin with multiplicity two. On the other hand, one sees the scheme-theoretic intersection consists of the origin with multiplicity three. That is, a scheme-theoretic multiplicity of an intersection may differ from an intersection-theoretic multiplicity, the latter given by Serre's Tor formula. Solving this disparity is one of the starting points for derived algebraic geometry, which aims to introduce the notion of derived intersection. Proper intersection Let X be a regular scheme and V, W closed integral subschemes. Then an irreducible component P of is called proper if the inequality (due to Serre): is an equality. The intersection is proper if every irreducible component of it is proper (in particular, the empty intersection is considered proper.) Two algebraic cycles are said to intersect properly if the varieties in the cycles intersect properly. For example, two divisors (codimension-one cycles) on a smooth variety intersect properly if and only if they share no common irreducible component. Chow's moving lemma (on a smooth variety) says that an intersection can be made proper after replacing a divisor by a suitable linearly equivalent divisor (cf. Kleiman's theorem.) Serre's inequality above may fail in general for a non-regular ambient scheme. For example, let . Then have codimension one, while has codimension three. Some authors such as Bloch define a proper intersection without assuming X is regular: in the notations as above, a component P is proper if See also complete intersection Gysin homomorphism References Algebraic geometry

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formal%20holomorphic%20function
In algebraic geometry, a formal holomorphic function along a subvariety V of an algebraic variety W is an algebraic analog of a holomorphic function defined in a neighborhood of V. They are sometimes just called holomorphic functions when no confusion can arise. They were introduced by . The theory of formal holomorphic functions has largely been replaced by the theory of formal schemes which generalizes it: a formal holomorphic function on a variety is essentially just a section of the structure sheaf of a related formal scheme. Definition If V is an affine subvariety of the affine variety W defined by an ideal I of the coordinate ring R of W, then a formal holomorphic function along V is just an element of the completion of R at the ideal I. In general holomorphic functions along a subvariety V of W are defined by gluing together holomorphic functions on affine subvarieties. References Algebraic geometry

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cucconi%20test
In statistics, the Cucconi test is a nonparametric test for jointly comparing central tendency and variability (detecting location and scale changes) in two samples. Many rank tests have been proposed for the two-sample location-scale problem. Nearly all of them are Lepage-type tests, that is a combination of a location test and a scale test. The Cucconi test was first proposed by Odoardo Cucconi in 1968. The Cucconi test is not as familiar as other location-scale tests but it is of interest for several reasons. First, from a historical point of view, it was proposed some years before the Lepage test, the standard rank test for the two-sample location-scale problem. Secondly, as opposed to other location-scale tests, the Cucconi test is not a combination of location and scale tests. Thirdly, it compares favorably with Lepage type tests in terms of power and type-one error probability and very importantly it is easier to be computed because it requires only the ranks of one sample in the combined sample, whereas the other tests also require scores of various types as well as to permutationally estimate mean and variance of test statistics because their analytic formulae are not available. The Cucconi test is based on the following statistic: where is based on the standardized sum of squared ranks of the first sample elements in the pooled sample, and is based on the standardized sum of squared contrary-ranks of the first sample elements in the pooled sample. is the correlation coefficient between and . The test statistic rejects for large values, a table of critical values is available. The p-value can be easily computed via permutations. The interest on this test has recently increased spanning applications in many different fields like hydrology, applied psychology and industrial quality control.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruled%20join
In algebraic geometry, given irreducible subvarieties V, W of a projective space Pn, the ruled join of V and W is the union of all lines from V to W in P2n+1, where V, W are embedded into P2n+1 so that the last (resp. first) n + 1 coordinates on V (resp. W) vanish. It is denoted by J(V, W). For example, if V and W are linear subspaces, then their join is the linear span of them, the smallest linear subcontaining them. The join of several subvarieties is defined in a similar way. See also Secant variety References Algebraic geometry

Olle Häggström (born 4 October 1967) is a professor of mathematical statistics at Chalmers University of Technology. Häggström earned his doctorate in 1994 at Chalmers University of Technology with Jeffrey Steif as supervisor. He became an associate professor in the same university in 1997, and professor of mathematical statistics at University of Gothenburg in 2000. In 2002 he was back at Chalmers University of Technology as professor. He mainly researches on probability theory such as Markov chains, percolation theory and other models in statistical mechanics. Awards and honors Olle Häggström has received a number of awards and prizes. These include: 2004 – Elected member 1506 of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, in the Mathematics class. 2005 – Awarded the Rollo Davidson Prize. 2006 – Elected member of Royal Society of Arts and Sciences in Gothenburg. 2010 – Elected member 1581 of the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences (IVA), in the 7:th division: VII Basic and Interdisciplinary Engineering Sciences. Here Be Dragons In 2016, Häggström published (via Oxford University Press) Here Be Dragons: Science, Technology and the Future of Humanity, an attempt to draft a road map of potential dangers that could be associated with various emerging technologies: "There is no denying that advances in science and technology have brought us prosperity and improved our lives tremendously... but there is a flip side: some of the advances that may lie ahead of us can actually make us worse off." On human enhancement, Häggström argues that any enhancement, from growth hormones to cognitive enhancement, can encourage an "arms race" in which everyone is compelled to participate for fear of falling behind: "It is hard to imagine the US silently sitting still and watching a cognitive enhancement development that can turn China into the world’s military overlords." On geoengineering, Häggström discusses a proposed form of geoengineering that involves continuously pumping sulphur dioxide into the atmosphere to counteract global warming, and warns this could create a catastrophic risk of a massive temperature spike if a future generation were unable to continue pumping. On nanotechnology, Häggström discusses concerns about self-replicating nanobots, as well as the potential for emerging manufacturing technologies to undo existing gun control measures and to radically upscale the quantities of existing weaponry, and to create destabilizing new classes of weapons. Other topics include existential risks from high-energy physics experiments, as well as from advanced artificial intelligence: Häggström poses a scenario in which a superintelligent computer, aiming to maximise happiness in the universe, calculates that sentient beings are happy less than half the time, and proceeds to exterminate all sentient life, in order to increase the existing sum of happiness a negative number to zero. Häggström also discusses SETI, criticizing "inexcusably reckles

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convex%20layers
In computational geometry, the convex layers of a set of points in the Euclidean plane are a sequence of nested convex polygons having the points as their vertices. The outermost one is the convex hull of the points and the rest are formed in the same way recursively. The innermost layer may be degenerate, consisting only of one or two points. The problem of constructing convex layers has also been called onion peeling or onion decomposition. Although constructing the convex layers by repeatedly finding convex hulls would be slower, it is possible to partition any set of points into its convex layers in time . An early application of the convex layers was in robust statistics, as a way of identifying outliers and measuring the central tendency of a set of sample points. In this context, the number of convex layers surrounding a given point is called its convex hull peeling depth, and the convex layers themselves are the depth contours for this notion of data depth. Convex layers may be used as part of an efficient range reporting data structure for listing all of the points in a query half-plane. The points in the half-plane from each successive layer may be found by a binary search to find the most extreme point in the direction of the half-plane, and then searching sequentially from there. Fractional cascading can be used to speed up the binary searches, giving total query time to find points out of a set of . The points of an grid have convex layers, as do the same number of uniformly random points within any convex shape. References Convex hulls Computational geometry Robust statistics
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contraction%20morphism
In algebraic geometry, a contraction morphism is a surjective projective morphism between normal projective varieties (or projective schemes) such that or, equivalently, the geometric fibers are all connected (Zariski's connectedness theorem). It is also commonly called an algebraic fiber space, as it is an analog of a fiber space in algebraic topology. By the Stein factorization, any surjective projective morphism is a contraction morphism followed by a finite morphism. Examples include ruled surfaces and Mori fiber spaces. Birational perspective The following perspective is crucial in birational geometry (in particular in Mori's minimal model program). Let X be a projective variety and the closure of the span of irreducible curves on X in = the real vector space of numerical equivalence classes of real 1-cycles on X. Given a face F of , the contraction morphism associated to F, if it exists, is a contraction morphism to some projective variety Y such that for each irreducible curve , is a point if and only if . The basic question is which face F gives rise to such a contraction morphism (cf. cone theorem).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Range%20reporting
In computational geometry and database theory, a range reporting query asks for a list of the points that match the query. The query is often specified by a geometric shape, containing all the points that should match, and is called a range. Range reporting is a special case of range searching, in which queries may return other kinds of aggregate information about points in a range. Range reporting queries are often handled by building a data structure from a collection of points that can answer queries efficiently. Because the worst case output size for a range reporting query, measured as a function of the data set size , can be itself, much of the research on range reporting data structures has investigated output-sensitive algorithms, where the query time is analyzed in terms of both and the number of reported points (often denoted ). For example, for one-dimensional (numeric) data with query ranges that are intervals, range reporting queries can be handled by storing the data in a sorted array. With this structure, one can use binary search to find the point closest to the start of a query interval, and then scan the array from that point forwards to list all of the points in the interval. Storing this data structure uses (linear) space, and it handles queries in time per query. References . Geometric data structures Database theory

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability%20distribution%20of%20extreme%20points%20of%20a%20Wiener%20stochastic%20process
In the mathematical theory of probability, the Wiener process, named after Norbert Wiener, is a stochastic process used in modeling various phenomena, including Brownian motion and fluctuations in financial markets. A formula for the conditional probability distribution of the extremum of the Wiener process and a sketch of its proof appears in work of H. J. Kusher (appendix 3, page 106) published in 1964. a detailed constructive proof appears in work of Dario Ballabio in 1978. This result was developed within a research project about Bayesian optimization algorithms. In some global optimization problems the analytical definition of the objective function is unknown and it is only possible to get values at fixed points. There are objective functions in which the cost of an evaluation is very high, for example when the evaluation is the result of an experiment or a particularly onerous measurement. In these cases, the search of the global extremum (maximum or minimum) can be carried out using a methodology named "Bayesian optimization", which tend to obtain a priori the best possible result with a predetermined number of evaluations. In summary it is assumed that outside the points in which it has already been evaluated, the objective function has a pattern which can be represented by a stochastic process with appropriate characteristics. The stochastic process is taken as a model of the objective function, assuming that the probability distribution of its extrema gives the best indication about extrema of the objective function. In the simplest case of the one-dimensional optimization, given that the objective function has been evaluated in a number of points, there is the problem to choose in which of the intervals thus identified is more appropriate to invest in a further evaluation. If a Wiener stochastic process is chosen as a model for the objective function, it is possible to calculate the probability distribution of the model extreme points inside each interval, conditioned by the known values at the interval boundaries. The comparison of the obtained distributions provides a criterion for selecting the interval in which the process should be iterated. The probability value of having identified the interval in which falls the global extremum point of the objective function can be used as a stopping criterion. Bayesian optimization is not an efficient method for the accurate search of local extrema so, once the search range has been restricted, depending on the characteristics of the problem, a specific local optimization method can be used. Proposition Let be a Wiener stochastic process on an interval with initial value By definition of Wiener process, increments have a normal distribution: Let be the cumulative probability distribution function of the minimum value of the function on interval conditioned by the value It is shown that: Constructive proof Case is an immediate consequence of the minimum definition, in t

The kings of this dynasty bore the title Maharaja, and probably ruled as feudatories of the Gupta Empire. The dynasty is known from inscriptions of two of its kings: Hastin and Samkshobha. Political status The Parivrajaka inscriptions refer to the imperial Gupta dynasty, but do not mention any Gupta overlord. However, the use of title "Maharaja" (generally used by feudatory kings) suggests that they were vassals of the Guptas. In addition, the Parivrajaka inscriptions state that the dynasty ruled the forest kingdoms; the Allahabad pillar inscription of the Gupta emperor Samudragupta states that he subjugated all the forest kingdoms. When the Gupta empire started declining, they acknowledged nominal Gupta suzerainty. Multiple inscriptions of the dynasty mention a year of an uncertain calendar era, with the term "Gupta-nṛipa-rājya bhuktau", which has been translated variously by different scholars: According to Moirangthem Pramod, the Parivrajakas were reduced to the governors of a bhukti (province) after the Gupta conquest. According to P. L. Gupta, the Parivrajakas were originally vassals of the Gupta, but became independent by the time of Hastin. Even after becoming independent, they continued to use the Gupta era, which is what the term refers to. According to H. H. Wilson, the term refers to the occupation of the Parivrajaka kingdom by the Guptas, and the calendar era starts from this date of occupation. According to Dr. Hall, the term refers to end of the Gupta sovereignty, and the calendar era starts from beginning of the post-Gupta period. History The term "Parivrajaka" literally means a wandering ascetic. The family came from a lineage of Brahmins of Bharadvaja gotra, who may have been wandering ascetics some time in the past. Another possibility is that the term "Parivrajaka" is a reference to the practice of kings abdicating their thrones in old age and becoming wandering ascetics, in accordance with th

Arquipélago (Arquipélago in Portuguese) is a Capeverdean poetry book written by Jorge Barbosa in 1935. It was published in ICL; later it would be published in Claridade. The probability of the literary work is the most common in Cape Verde. It opened the doors to modern Cape Verdean literature and later demonstrated a complete change in rhetoric and thematic poetry in Cape Verde; it formed one of the elements that led to the creation of the Claridade review a year after the publication of the book. Along with Claridade, Baltazar Lopes participated with Manuel Lopes and Jorge Barbosa with founded members of the review and the name was the movement in the main activists of the same. The story is set in different parts of the Cape Verdean archipelago, which at the time was in colonial hands. The book features some poems.

M.E.T.S. Charter School (formally known Mathematics, Engineering, Technology, & Science Charter School) was a seven-year comprehensive public charter middle school / high school that serves students in sixth through twelfth grades in Hudson County and Essex County of New Jersey, United States. The M.E.T.S. Charter School had two campuses, one in Jersey City and one in Newark. The school operates under the terms of a charter granted by the New Jersey Department of Education. M.E.T.S. Charter School was an Early College Preparatory School that utilizes research-based instructional practices to achieve student proficiency in mathematics, engineering, technology, and science. M.E.T.S. Charter School encouraged students to take college level courses and graduate from high school within four years with up to 60 college credits and/or an associate degree. Postsecondary success was promoted by prioritizing admission to a four-year college or university for each member of the graduating class. In February 2020, New Jersey Commissioner of Education Lamont Repollet ordered the school to close at the end of the 2019-20 school year citing the school for "not operating in compliance with its charter". As of the 2019–20 school year, the school had an enrollment of 713 students and 43.9 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 16.2:1. There were 451 students (63.3% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 53 (7.4% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch. Athletics The M.E.T.S. Charter School Mustangs competed independently of any league or conference for soccer, volleyball, and softball. Both boys and girls' basketball teams are part of the N.J. Charter School Athletic League. All athletics operate under the auspices of the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association. With 505 students in grades 10-12, the school had been classified by the NJSIAA for the 2019–20 school year as Group II for most athletic competition purposes, which included schools with an enrollment of 486 to 758 students in that grade range.

Their territory included north-eastern parts of present-day Madhya Pradesh. Their capital was located at Uchchhakalpa, the present-day Unchehara. The Uchchhakalpas were neighbours of the Parivrajakas, and appear to have been feudatories of the Gupta Empire. The dynasty is known from inscriptions issued by two of its kings: Jayanatha and Sharvanatha. History Inscriptions of two Uchchhakalpa kings, dated in an unspecified calendar era, are available: Jayanatha (Year 174–182) and Sarvanatha (Year 191–214). The era is now generally identified with the Gupta era (which begins in 318–319 CE), although some earlier scholars identified it as the Kalachuri era (which begins in 248–249 CE). The Uchchhakalpa inscriptions are written in the central Indian variety of the Gupta script. Moreover, the Bhumara stone pillar inscription names the Uchchhakalpa ruler Sharvanatha and the Parivrajaka ruler Hastin as contemporaries. This suggests that both were vassals of the Guptas, and the calendar era mentioned in the Uchchhakalpa inscriptions is the Gupta era. According to these inscriptions, the earliest king of the dynasty was Oghadeva. He was succeeded by Kumaradeva, Jayasvamin, and Vyaghra. Jayanatha, the dynasty's earliest king attested by his own inscriptions, was a son of king Vyaghra and queen Ajjhitadevi. Jayanatha was succeeded by Sharvanatha, who was his son from queen Murundasvamini. Nothing is known about the successors of Sharvanatha. Genealogy The following kings and queens of the dynasty are known (IAST names): Mahārāja Ogha-deva and Mahādevi Kumarā-devī Mahārāja Kumarā-deva and Mahādevi Jaya-svāminī Mahārāja Jaya-svāmin and Mahādevi Ramā-devī Mahārāja Vyāghra and Mahādevi Ajjhita-devī Mahārāja Jaya-nātha and Mahādevi Murunda-svaminī, r. c. 493–507 CE Mahārāja Śarva-nātha (Sharvanatha), r. c. 508–533 CE Inscriptions The following copper-plate inscriptions from the Uchchhakalpa reign have been discovered. Inscriptions of a Vakataka feudatory named Vyaghra-deva have been found at Nachna-Ganj. According to one theory, this ruler may be identical with the Vyaghra of Uchchhakalpa dynasty, b

This happens trivially when is a palindromic number; the nontrivial reverse divisors are 1089, 2178, 10989, 21978, 109989, 219978, 1099989, 2199978, ... . For instance, 1089 × 9 = 9801, the reversal of 1089, and 2178 × 4 = 8712, the reversal of 2178. The multiples produced by reversing these numbers, such as 9801 or 8712, are sometimes called palintiples. Properties Every nontrivial reverse divisor must be either 1/4 or 1/9 of its reversal. The number of -digit nontrivial reverse divisors is where denotes the th Fibonacci number. For instance, there are two four-digit reverse divisors, matching the formula . History The reverse divisor properties of the first two of these numbers, 1089 and 2178, were mentioned by W. W. Rouse Ball in his Mathematical Recreations. In A Mathematician's Apology, G. H. Hardy criticized Rouse Ball for including this problem, writing: "These are odd facts, very suitable for puzzle columns and likely to amuse amateurs, but there is nothing in them which appeals to a mathematician. The proofs are neither difficult nor interesting—merely tiresome. The theorems are not serious; and it is plain that one reason (though perhaps not the most important) is the extreme speciality of both the enunciations and proofs, which are not capable of any significant generalization."

A magic triangle is a magic arrangement of the integers from 1 to to triangular figure. Perimeter magic triangle A magic triangle or perimeter magic triangle is an arrangement of the integers from 1 to on the sides of a triangle with the same number of integers on each side, called the order of the triangle, so that the sum of integers on each side is a constant, the magic sum of the triangle. Unlike magic squares, there are different magic sums for magic triangles of the same order. Any magic triangle has a complementary triangle obtained by replacing each integer in the triangle with . Examples Order-3 magic triangles are the simplest (except for trivial magic triangles of order 1). Other magic triangles Other magic triangles use Triangular number or square number of vertices to form magic figure. Matthew Wright and his students in St. Olaf College developed magic triangles with square numbers. In their magic triangles, the sum of the k-th row and the (n-k+1)-th row is same for all k. Its one modification uses triangular numbers instead of square nubers. Another magic tringle form is magic triangles with triangluar numbers with different summation. In this magic triangles, the sum of the k-th row and the (n-k)-th row is same for all k. Magic Triangles have also been discovered, such that when its elements are squared, we obtain another magic triangle. See also Magic hexagon Antimagic square Magic polygon References Magic shapes

Pepijn van Erp (born 1972) is a Dutch mathematician and skeptical activist. Van Erp studied mathematics at the Radboud University Nijmegen, graduating in 1999. After graduating, Van Erp worked as a statistics consultant at the PTT. Between 2002 and 2005, he lived in Tanzania. Until 2012, Van Erp was secretary at the Stichting Nijmeegs Universitair Fonds (SNUF). In 2011, Van Erp became involved with Stichting Skepsis, where he has served as board member since March 2012. Over a number of years, he has occupied himself with all sorts of dubious claims to determine whether they are scientific or pseudoscientific in nature. In February 2013, Van Erp was one of several commentators who accused the editorial staff of talkshow De Wereld Draait Door to uncritically present the story of the heavily handicapped Niek Zervaas, who was alleged to have been able to communicate using facilitated communication, a practice characterised as pseudoscience. The editorial staff later admitted that they had been 'blinded' by the wondrous story of Niek's parents, and should have been more skeptical. After van Erp criticised the ideas of American-Italian nuclear physicist Ruggero Santilli, the latter sued him, his webhost, and the chairman of Skepsis Foundation in 2016. The suit against the foundation was dismissed in August 2018 and shortly thereafter the suit against van Erp was settled. In October 2016, the electronics company Philips planned to hold a workshop called "Energy Medicine meets technology" with speakers from companies developing an electroacupuncture device and an app for mapping meridians; after van Erp posted a blog describing his efforts to get information from the companies and criticizing these devices as pseudoscience and quackery, Philips cancelled the workshop.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractal%20expressionism
Fractal expressionism is used to distinguish fractal art generated directly by artists from fractal art generated using mathematics and/or computers. Fractals are patterns that repeat at increasingly fine scales and are prevalent in natural scenery (examples include clouds, rivers, and mountains). Fractal expressionism implies a direct expression of nature's patterns in an art work. Jackson Pollock's poured paintings The initial studies of fractal expressionism focused on the poured paintings by Jackson Pollock (1912-1956), whose work has traditionally been associated with the abstract expressionist movement. Pollock's patterns had previously been referred to as “natural” and “organic”, inviting speculation by John Briggs in 1992 that Pollock's work featured fractals. In 1997, Taylor built a pendulum device called the Pollockizer which painted fractal patterns bearing a similarity to Pollock's work. Computer analysis of Pollock's work published by Taylor et al. in a 1999 Nature article found that Pollock's painted patterns have characteristics that match those displayed by nature's fractals. This analysis supported clues that Pollock's patterns are fractal and reflect "the fingerprint of nature". Taylor noted several similarities between Pollock's painting style and the processes used by nature to construct its landscapes. For instance, he cites Pollock's propensity to revisit paintings that he had not adjusted in several weeks as being comparable to cyclic processes in nature, such as the seasons or the tides. Furthermore, Taylor observed several visual similarities between the patterns produced by nature and those produced by Pollock as he painted. He points out that Pollock abandoned the use of a traditional frame for his paintings, preferring instead to roll out his canvas on the floor; this, Taylor asserts, is more compatible with how nature works than traditional painting techniques because the patterns in nature's scenery are not artificially bounded. The perceived similarities between the processes and patterns involved in Pollock's paintings and those of nature compelled Taylor to posit that the same "basic trademark" of nature's pattern construction also appears in Pollock's work. Since some natural fractals are generated by a process known as "chaos", including fractals in human physiology, Taylor believed that Pollock's painting process might also have been chaotic, and could therefore leave behind a fractal pattern. Taylor's hypothesis seems to be reflected in Pollock's statement "I am nature", which he made when asked if nature was a source of inspiration for his work. Furthermore, Pollock is also quoted as stating "No chaos, damn it", in response to a Time magazine article that referred to his paintings as "chaotic". However, chaos theory was not understood until after Pollock's death, so he could not have been referring to the chaotic systems in nature but rather its common usage to mean disorder.
