This document describes the support of IETF Integrated Services over LANs built from IEEE 802 network segments which may be interconnected by IEEE 802.1 MAC Bridges (switches) [1]. It describes the practical capabilities and limitations of this technology for supporting Controlled Load [8] and Guaranteed Service [9] using the inherent capabilities of the relevant 802 technologies [5],[6],[15],[...

WALLIS: a Web-based ILE for Science and Engineering Students Studying Mathematics

This paper, after briefly describing our context and the problems faced by science and engineering students studying mathematics, presents WALLIS, a webbased system that is being developed to address some of these problems. Keeping in mind pedagogy and the development of a learner-centred application, we first describe the iterative methodology which we employed, and theories (such as construct...

Generalizing Wallis' Formula

The present note generalizes Wallis’ formula, 2  =  . 7 6 . 5 6 . 5 4 . 3 4 . 3 2 . 1 2 , using the EulerMascheroni constant g and the Glaisher-Kinkelin constant A: 2 ln 2 4 = 3 3 2 . 1 2 . 5 4 3 4

Wallis-Ramanujan-Schur-Feynman

One of the earliest examples of analytic representations for π is given by an infinite product provided by Wallis in 1655. The modern literature often presents this evaluation based on the integral formula 2 π ∫ ∞ 0 dx (x + 1) = 1 2 (
