Algorithms Meet Art, Puzzles, and Magic
Two years before WADS began, my father Martin Demaine and my six-year-old self designed and made puzzles as the Erik and Dad Puzzle Company, which distributed to toy stores across Canada. So began our journey into the interactions between algorithms and the arts. More and more, we find that our mathematical research and artistic projects converge, with the artistic side inspiring the mathematic...
متن کاملWhen Black Holes Meet Kaluza-Klein Bubbles
We explore the physical consequences of a recently discovered class of exact solutions to five dimensional Kaluza-Klein theory. We find a number of surprising features including: (1) In the presence of a Kaluza-Klein bubble, there are arbitrarily large black holes with topology S. (2) In the presence of a black hole or a black string, there are expanding bubbles (with de Sitter geometry) which ...
متن کاملStatistics - Magic or Math?
I used to hate statistics. Like many of you I first learned how to assess statistical significance through a variety of seemingly arbitrary formulas handed to me in Statistics 215. Sure I could calculate an answer, but I might as well have been attending Hogwart’s School of Witchcraft and Wizardry ; I saw no reason why any such formula should give a decree as to why certain things should be con...
متن کاملWhen do Stepwise Algorithms Meet Subset Selection Criteria?
Recent results in homotopy and solution paths demonstrate that certain well-designed greedy algorithms, with a range of values of the algorithmic parameter, can provide solution paths to a sequence of convex optimization problems. On the other hand, in regression many existing criteria in subset selection (including Cp , AIC, BIC, MDL, RIC, etc.) involve optimizing an objective function that co...
متن کاملWhen bugs meet cells
Early research into microbiological pathogenesis attempted to determine which microbial properties make micro-organisms pathogenic. Over time, however, a growing number of research projects began to focus on the intimate relationships between microbes and their hosts and, more precisely, on the consequences of infection for the cell biology of the host. This approach has brought together two tr...
