Science & Technology Dust in climbing halls linked to a decline in lung function In climbing halls, high levels of dust are found because magnesia powder is used to dry hands. Concerns have been […]
Science & Technology Why Algorithms Suck and Analog Computers are the Future Analog computing, which was the predominant form of high-performance computing well into the 1970s, has largely been forgotten since today’s stored program digital computers took over. But the time is ripe to change this.
Science & Technology The Fall of the Apple and the General Theory of Relativity Can the basic concepts of the general theory of relativity be illustrated geometrically with almost no math? To answer this question, let’s reconsider Newton’s well-known problem of the falling apple.
Science & Technology Committee Theory, Or Finding Solutions to Problems That Have no Solution By drawing several straight lines that cross one point on a piece of paper, we arrive at one of the most fascinating mathematical theories: Committee theory not only has a number of practical applications like pattern recognition – a central branch of machine learning – but also searches for collective solutions to problems that have no familiar solution at all.
