A gentle stroll through EP flux theory
The celebrated 1960 paper by Eliassen & Palm (hereafter EP) put on record several brilliant discoveries in the theory of linear waves on shear flows for rotating stratified fluid systems. These discoveries opened up a new perspective on linear wave dynamics in the atmosphere and on the nascent theory of nonlinear interactions between the waves and the mean flow. Arguably, the most important dis...
متن کاملHerbarium Racketensis: A Stroll through the Woods
Domain-specific languages are the ultimate abstraction, dixit Paul Hudak. But what abstraction should we use to build such ultimate abstractions? What is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander: a language, of course! Racket is the ultimate abstraction-abstraction, a platform for quickly and easily building new ultimate abstractions. This pearl demonstrates Racket’s power by taking a leisur...
متن کاملA Stroll Through the Complexity Zoo
Even Computer Science students very early in their careers are familiar with the “big three” complexity classes of P, NP, and NP-COMPLETE. These three classes are closely related to the biggest open questions in Computer Science, with the question of P ? = NP being one of Clay Mathematics Institute’s Millennium Prize Problems. While these three classes are the subject of much ongoing research, ...
متن کاملA Stroll Through the Gaussian Primes
THE MOAT PROBLEM. One cannot walk to infinity on the real line if one uses steps of bounded length and steps on the prime numbers. This is simply a restatement of the classic result that there are arbitrarily large gaps in the primes. The proof is simple: a gap of size k is given by (k + 1)! + 2, (k + 1)! + 3, ... (k + 1)! + (k + 1). But the same problem in the complex realm is unsolved. More p...
متن کاملEditorial: Images of Afterlife
What would human life look like if it were not about images of this world and the otherworld? Could such a life sustain people, their societies and cultures in an appropriate way? These are questions, which preoccupy the contributors to this special issue. The goal of this volume is to gather a large scale of discussions to highlight how the questions may be taken seriously. Also, the aim is to...
