2.10 The complex exponential function Consider the real exponential function f (x) = ex (that is, f (x) = exp x). We now extend the definition of this function to define a function f(z) = ez whose domain and codomain are We expect complex powers

2.1 What is a complex number? We will now discuss complex numbers and their properties. We will show how they can be represented as points in the plane and state the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra: that any polynomial equation with complex coefficients has a solution which is a complex number. We will also define the function exp of a complex variable. Earlier we mentioned several sets of numbers, including

3.2.1 Remarks By ‘contains’, we mean that we can find part of the surface that is homeomorphic to a Möbius band. The edge of the Möbius band does not need to correspond to an edge at the surface, so that a surface without boundary can be non-orientable (as we shall shortly see). When seeking Möbius bands in a surface, it can be helpful to look at all possible closed curves on the surface and thicken these into bands. Remember, fro
2.4.1 Remarks This theorem applies to all surfaces and not just to surfaces in space. This theorem tells us that the boundary number is a topological invariant for surfaces, i.e. a property that is invariant under homeomorphisms. It follows from the theorem that two surfaces with different boundary numbers cannot be homeomorphic. It does not follow that two surfaces with the same boundary number are homeomorphic –
Identity and Access Control Today I woke up thinking that talking about Identity and Access Control and how your strategy around that affects you (web-) app's architecture without going too deeply into the security lingo that usually comes with it. Here's the 40 minute result. I start with HTTP's "native" authentication model RFC 2617 and how that's universally bad, with both Basic and Digest authentication having issues Digest being, ironically worse for the overall security strategy. Then I d
Sir Isaac Newton: Full Biography
Isaac Newton was born December 25, 1642 in Woolsthorpe, Lincolnshire, England, and died March 20, 1727 in London, England. Newton was an English physicist and mathematician, who was also the culminating, figure of the scientific revolution of the 17th century. With discoveries in optics, motion, and mathematics he developed the principles of modern physics. He was the original discoverer of the infinitesimal calculus. Newton's Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica (Mathematical Principles

Barry Schwartz's 'Practical Wisdom'
Swarthmore professor Barry Schwartz says rules and incentives are an "insurance policy against disaster, but [they don't] produce excellence." In his recent book, Practical Wisdom: The Right Way to Do the Right Thing, Schwartz and co-author Kenneth Sharpe, also a Swarthmore professor, say that what is needed is not more bureaucracy. Instead, society needs the Aristotelian ideal that trumps all others -- practical wisdom. Knowledge@Wharton recently sat down with Schwartz to discuss why individual
