History and History in the Making A Pew poll finds 40% of Americans worry that an US city will be destroyed by a terrorist nuclear attack . James Lileks thinks the annihilation of a city is a dead certainty and will only mark the start of a long, wearying struggle against Islamists armed with nuclear car bombs. The imminence of the threat is open to debate. Despite the perception that technological diffusion has put weapons of mass destruction within easy reach of Islamic terrorists the cliché of a mullah brewing anthrax in a cave terrorist weapons remain at the 1970s level. The Al-Qaeda attack on the September 11 was the most sophisticated terrorist assault in history. Yet it did not employ any new technological elements, just the creative use of old techniques like the airline hijacking. High explosives, small arms, and poison gas still comprise the terrorist arsenal. The limiting factor is the lack of terrorist engineering resources to make sophisticated weaponry. The principles of ballistics, explosive chemistry and aeronautics needed to make combat aircraft are well known; but groups like

42. A Performance Of Comus

    Extractions: The masque was first performed on September 29, 1634, at Ludlow Castle in Wales, as part of a celebration honoring the installation of the Earl of Bridgewater as the Lord President of Wales. Although the Earl had been appointed to the position by Charles I in 1631, he had apparently been unable to actually move into Ludlow Castle, the official residence of the Lord President, until 1634. In midsummer 1634, however, he made a ceremonial visit to the castle itself and then to manors in the surrounding area. Travel journals suggest that the performance took place upon the Earl's subsequent return to the Castle, amid other entertainments centering around his appointment (Brown 33). The dating of the performance has occasioned much commment; September 29th is Michaelmas, a holiday honoring the angel St. Michael, and scholars have debated the extent to which the themes of the mask might be directly tied to the significance of the holiday. The inability to ascertain both exactly when Milton was writing the mask and exactly when the date of September 29th had been appointed as the date of performance makes such a link somewhat conjectural. The work does, however, manifest such themes as to suggest that Milton did intend for it to engage with the significance of the holiday (Creaser 114). The holiday "was associated with the election of new magistrates and governors" and traditions associated with the holiday often equated this "earthly governance" with heavenly or angelic protection (Brown 39). Thus the idea of the supernatural forces stepping in to protect the children in the mask would seem coherent with themes of Michaelmas Day.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conjecture
    
    Extractions: In mathematics , a conjecture is a mathematical statement which has been proposed as a true statement, but which no one has yet been able to prove or disprove. Once a conjecture has been proven, it becomes known as a theorem , and it joins the realm of known mathematical facts. Until that point in time, mathematicians must be extremely careful about their use of a conjecture within logical structures. edit Until its proof in 1995, the most famous of all conjectures was the mis-named Fermat's last theorem - this conjecture became a true theorem only after its proof. In the process, a special case of the Taniyama-Shimura conjecture , itself a longstanding open problem, was proven; this conjecture has since been completely proven. Other famous conjectures include: The Langlands program is a far-reaching web of ' unifying conjectures ' that link different subfields of mathematics, e.g.

47. Weil Conjectures - Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia
    In mathematics, the Weil conjectures, which had become theorems by 1974, Weil himself, it is said, never seriously tried to prove the conjectures.  
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weil_conjectures
    
    Extractions: In mathematics , the Weil conjectures , which had become theorems by 1974, were some highly-influential proposals from the late 1940s by Andr© Weil on the generating functions (known as local zeta-functions ) derived from counting the number of points on algebraic varieties over finite fields . The main burden was that such zeta-functions should be rational functions , should satisfy a form of functional equation , and should have their zeroes in restricted places. The last two parts were quite consciously modelled on the Riemann zeta function and Riemann hypothesis In fact the case of curves over finite fields had been proved by Weil himself, finishing the project started by Hasse's theorem on elliptic curves over finite fields. The conjectures were natural enough in one direction, simply proposing that known good properties would extend. Their interest was obvious enough from within number theory : they implied the existence of machinery that would provide upper bounds for exponential sums , a basic concern in analytic number theory What was really eye-catching, from the point of view of other mathematical areas, was the proposed connection with

    Extractions: Username: Password: Mathematical Induction (MI) is an extremely important tool in Mathematics. First of all you should never confuse MI with Inductive Attitude in Science. The latter is just a process of establishing general principles from particular cases. MI is a way of proving math statements for all integers (perhaps excluding a finite number.) [1] says: Statements proven by math induction all depend on an integer, say, n. For example, (1) 1 + 3 + 5 + ... + (2n-1) = n (2) If x , x , ..., x n + x + ... + x n )/n (x n 1/n etc. n here is an "arbitrary" integer. It's convenient to talk about a statement P(n). For (1), P(1) says that which is incidently true. P(2) says that , P(3) means that . And so on. These particular cases are obtained by substituting specific values 1, 2, 3 for n into P(n). Assume you want to prove that for some statement P, P(n) is true for all n starting with n = 1. The Principle (or Axiom ) of Math Induction states that, to this end, one should accomplish just two steps: Prove that P(1) is true.

    http://www.routledge.com/popper/works/conjectures.html
    
    Extractions: Conjectures and Refutations 'The central thesis of the essays and lectures gathered together in this stimulating volume is that our knowledge, and especially our scientific knowledge, progresses by unjustified (and unjustifiable) anticipations, by guesses, by tentative solutions to our problems, in a word by conjectures. Professor Popper puts forward his views with a refreshing self-confidence.' The Times Literary Supplement Conjectures and Refutations is one of Karl Popper's most wide-ranging and popular works, notable not only for its acute insight into the way scientific knowledge grows, but also for applying those insights to politics and to history. It provides one of the clearest and most accessible statements of the fundamental idea that guided his work: not only our knowledge, but our aims and our standards, grow through an unending process of trial and error. Popper brilliantly demonstrates how knowledge grows by guesses or conjectures and tentative solutions, which must then be subjected to critical tests. Although they may survive any number of tests, our conjectures remain conjectures, they can never be established as true. What makes Conjectures and Refutations such an enduring book is that Popper goes on to apply this bold theory of the growth of knowledge to a fascinating range of important problems, including the role of tradition, the origin of the scientific method, the demarcation between science and metaphysics, the body-mind problem, the way we use language, how we understand history, and the dangers of public opinion. Throughout the book, Popper stresses the importance of our ability to learn from our mistakes.

    Extractions: with the participation of Organizers: Nigel Higson (Pennsylvania State U.), Jerry Kaminker (Indiana U.), Shmuel Weinberger (U. Chicago) The proposers are presently the recipients of a Focused Research Group grant from NSF on this topic. The summer of 2003 would be the final one funded by thegrant and it would be particularly appropriate to have a summer school on the topic to survey the work done over thethree years of the grant and to formulate the next set of problems which will be worked on. There have been a series of summer schoolsand training session in Europe over the past few years on this topic and while senior researchers from Canada and US have been able to participate, there has been less opportunity for younger mathematicians and graduate students from North (or South) America to take part. A program as we are requesting would contribute to changing that situation. It should be emphasized that the lectures given would be expository and aimed at educating both graduate students andyoung researchers, (as well as senior scientists) in less familiar aspects of the subjects. In particular, we would have a lecture series on Group C*-algebras and Connections with Dynamics,and one on Geometric Group Theory and connections with Noncommutative Geometry.
