Extractions: mercredi 13 novembre 2002 Before starting this column, please remember that you need to register with the New York Times to access the above link. It's free and easy. And now, on with the show. I'm sure that many of you already had to write a scientific of technical paper, filled with equations and special symbols. If it happened to you, you know this is not as trivial as writing a letter. You need to learn specific skills, like a publishing language. Here is what Jeffrey Selingo has to say about this. It's one of the most frustrating problems encountered when passing documents back and forth electronically: the little square boxes that mean a font someone else used to create the file cannot be rendered on your computer. While Portable Document Format, or PDF, files, which essentially are copies of printed pages, have helped mitigate the problem for most computer users, that solution has not satisfied scientists and mathematicians, whose formulas and equations contain many symbols. Using those symbols on the Web has been particularly inconvenient. Most publishers use the symbol-friendly PDF format, but then researchers cannot easily embed links to other files or background information within those documents as they can with HTML files. But HTML documents have their own drawbacks. For instance, they often display equations as separate graphic images that cannot be resized or searched and greatly increase the size of the file.

GP And Life Time Learning In Eric Goodman, Editor, Genetic Algorithms Proceedings of the Seventh InternationalConference, Sloane and Plouffe1995 NJA Sloane and Simon Plouffe. http://www.cs.ucl.ac.uk/staff/W.Langdon/learn_proposal/
Extractions: W. B. Langdon While software systems are almost universal, almost all can be characterised as both hand made and inflexible. A major cost to commerce and drain on human resources is the manual effort required to implement even apparently trivial changes. Thus software maintenance is expensive and time consuming, leading to application backlogs and user dissatisfaction. This proposal addresses both consumption of human resources and inflexibility of software systems by investigating the automatic production of computer programs that can learn, i.e. that can adapt. There are a number of techniques that provide computers with limited adaptation. Some claim inspiration from physical or biological systems (Simulated Annealing, Neural Networks and evolutionary computation techniques such as Genetic Algorithms (GAs)). Indeed the application of GAs to variable length programs (genetic programming (GP)) enables computers to solve problems without being explicitly programmed. While GP has demonstrated its potential by evolving programs for many applications, most of these programs contain code only and cannot themselves adapt to changing circumstances.

BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | How Random Is Pi? BBC News Online science Editor. Mathematicians have achieved a major step by David Bailey and Canadian mathematicians Peter Borewin and Simon Plouffe. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/low/sci/tech/2146295.stm
Extractions: Mathematicians have achieved a major step towards answering the question of whether numbers like pi and other mathematical constants are truly random and for the first time linked number theory with chaos theory. It is not just a mathematical curiosity they say. Proving that pi never repeats itself would be a major advance in our theory of numbers. It may also allow the construction of unbreakable codes based on long sequences of random numbers. The value of pi is known to 500 billion places. No cyclic patterns have been found and if mathematicians are correct none will ever be found no matter how many digits are calculated. Hypothesis A Pi, the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter, has been known for thousands of years to be mystifying. Some ancient Greeks built a religion around it. Pi is a ubiquitous number whose first few digits are the well-known 3.14159. Pi will go on forever¿

Extractions: material added 6 May 2002 Theo Gray has built a Periodic Table. A full photo history is available . I helped him a bit, and hope to write up some of my elemental discoveries soon. As an example, take a look at this molybdenum ingot The Catalan conjecture, that 8 and 9 are the only consectutive powers, has been proven. This has been expected for awhile, as mentioned by Ivars Peterson . There, he mentions "Preda Mihailescu of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich has proved a theorem that is likely to lead to a solution of Catalan's conjecture." The theorem bounded any possible answers to the conjecture within a computer searchable space, and it seems Mihailescu has finished the search. Mathematician Bill Tutte has died. Among his many accomplishments, he disproved Tait's conjecture . I talked about this and about him on 19 November . In 2001, one of his conjectures was proven. Snark Theorem: Any Snark has a Petersen Graph minor. (Conjectured by Tutte, called Snarks by Gardner, proven by Robertson, Sanders, Seymour and Thomas.)
