C Escher M C
1,089 wordsThough M. C. Escher contended that he knew virtually nothing about mathematics, even having gone as far as to declare that he was absolutely innocent of training or knowledge in the exact sciences, (Schattschneider 67), his art work commonly incorporates the use of many recognized elements of science and mathematics. It has been argued that Escher's natural accessibility and his popularity with young art patrons is due to the Escher's use of symmetry, his use of metamorphosis, and his focus on r...

Programming Language X X
1,725 wordsEach programming language presents a particular world view in the features it allows, supports, and forbids. This series of articles describes the world view of the Scheme Programming Language. This view contains many elements desired in a modern programming language: multi-paradigm support, comparable, reusable abstractions, ability to create languages specialized for particular applications, clean separation of the generic and the implementation specific, and scalability from stand alone utili...

Programming Language Target Language
1,622 words... n slowly or are not very space efficient and then reliably transformed into programs which are smaller and run much faster -- and are also correct. Code transformations become second nature to experienced Scheme programmers. When a function similar to the recursive function fact is seen, it tends to get written down in the iterative form. Scheme has several important advantages. Its elegantly simple, regular structure and trivial syntax avoids "special case" confusion. Its expressiveness mea...

James Bond Three Laws
1,576 wordster>Sam Vaknin's Psychology, Philosophy, Economics and Foreign Affairs Web Sites Sigmund Freud said that we have an uncanny reaction to the inanimate. This is probably because we know that - despite pretensions and layers of philosophizing - we are nothing but recursive, self aware, introspective, conscious machines. Special machines, no doubt, but machines althesame. The series of James bond movies constitutes a decades-spanning gallery of human paranoia. Villains...

Quantum Mechanics Object Oriented
1,796 wordster> Sam Vaknin's Psychology, Philosophy, Economics and Foreign Affairs Web Sites The brain (and, by implication, the Mind) has been compared to the latest technological innovation in every generation. The computer metaphor is now in vogue. Computer hardware metaphors were replaced by software metaphors and, lately, by (neuronal) network metaphors. Such attempts to understand by comparison are common in every field of human knowledge. Architects and mathematicians...

Quantum Mechanics Truth Value
1,656 wordster>Sam Vaknin's Psychology, Philosophy, Economics and Foreign Affairs Web Sites In 1936 an American (Alonzo Church) and a Briton (Alan M. Turing) published independently (as is often the coincidence in science) the basics of a new branch in Mathematics (and logic): computability or recursive functions (later to be developed into Automata Theory). The authors confined themselves to dealing with computations which involved effective or mechanical methods for finding...

Van Der Main Function
1,101 wordsThis is an introductory essay on C programming. It assumes that you know varying amounts about computers and programming in general. First, I recommend that you purchase The C Programming Language, Second Edition by Brian W. Kernighan and Dennis M. Ritchie (referred to by everyone as K&R 2), and also Expert C Programming: Deep C Secrets by Peter van der Linden, and keep both at your side while you program. They are very useful and very handy books. The C language has changed some since the publi...

Eyes Wide Shut Rules Of The Game
2,533 wordsThe haunting effects of Stanley Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut can be identified as creating curiosity, fear and anxiety in the viewer. They can be understood as painting a mosaic of symbolism in the viewers eye, and as depositing fragments of concepts inside his mind. The films slow pace seems to open wide gaps between the joints of the storys framework, causing the viewer to lose his secure sense of balance during the progression of the plot. Eyes Wide Shut is not a tale of terror nor one of mystery...
