Metal

Vyngarsson:

A shiny, [[solid]] substance, such as [[iron]]. They contrast with the [[nonmetal]]s. It is very difficult, if not impossible, to break metals.

The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyam

2007-04-13T21:40:30Z

Vyngarsson:

'''The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyam''' is the collection of [[quatrain]]s—four-line stanzas—written by the [[Persia]]n astronomer [[Omar Khayyam]] (1048 – 1123). They are largely known to the English-speaking world in the translations written by Edward FitzGerald, first published, anonymously, in 1859.

They are perhaps some of the most quoted poetry in the English language: of approximately a hundred stanzas, about forty of them are included ''in full'' in the Oxford Dictionary of Quotations.

Undoubtedly the best-known stanza is:

  A Book of Verses underneath the Bough, 
  A Jug of Wine, a Loaf of Bread—and Thou 
    Beside me singing in the Wilderness— 
  Oh, Wilderness were Paradise enow! 

Another famous poem, highlighting the futility of regret, is featured in the musical [[Kismet]]:

  The Moving Finger writes; and having writ, 
  Moves on; nor all your Piety nor Wit 
    Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line, 
  Nor all your tears wash out a word of it. 

FitzGerald's translation is not literal. FitzGerald believed he was being true to the spirit of the original.

Elementary proof

2007-04-13T21:33:07Z

Vyngarsson:

The term "elementary proof" or "elementary techniques" in mathematics means [[proof | proofs]] that use only [[real numbers]] or [[real analysis]] rather than the use of [[complex analysis]].<ref>http://mathworld.wolfram.com/ElementaryProof.html</ref> Elementary proofs cannot be broken down into smaller proofs of the same proposition.

The prime number theorem has long been proven using complex analysis (Riemann's zeta function), but in 1949 and 1950 an elementary proof by [[Paul Erdos]] and [[Atle Selberg]] earned Selberg the highest prize in math, the [[Fields Medal]].

'''Purgatory''' is a dimension of time-space where [[souls]] are sent to be purged of their [[sins]] before entering [[Heaven]].

Family

2007-04-13T16:57:49Z

Vyngarsson:

Narrowly, parents and their offspring. More broadly, the group defined as those who have common ancestry. That is, the group produced as a result of [[sex]] leading to offspring.

The term is also used more loosely to describe a group with some form of common characteristic or a group with a relationship (other than ancestral).

A family requires (at least) a mother, a father, and children.

The '''Mexican-American War''' was a conflict between the [[United States of America]] and [[Mexico]] from 1846 to 1848. It is referred to by some scholars as the American-Mexican War.

Oracle bones

2007-04-13T15:28:57Z

Vyngarsson:

Oracle bones were bones inscribed with questions and answers. They were a major part of pre-Zen [[Buddhism|Buddhist]] religion in [[China]], although they are not commonly used now. Early oracle bones provided the first [[archaeology|archaeological]] evidence of the [[Shang dynasty]].

Sample oracle bones were later brought to Europe by [[Marco Polo]].

Confucius

2007-04-13T15:28:13Z

Vyngarsson:

[[Image:Uyr6.jpg|right|thumb|Confucius (illustration from Myths & Legends of China, 1922, by E.T.C. Werner)]]
'''Confucius''' (551-478 B.C.) was a Chinese thinker and social philosopher born in Qufu (modern day Shandong province).

Confucius, a great figure in ancient [[China]], lived during the corruption and collapse of the [[Zhou Dynasty]], and formulated a code of ethics and ritual based upon the venerated ancient [[Golden Civilizations]] of China. His real name was Kong Fu Zi (the "Zi" character meaning "little one," or "master"), the [[Latinization]] of his name occured when the first Christian evangelicals came to China and took a liking to his teachings, and transferred them back to the West. His disciples wrote down his teachings in a book called the [[Analects]], which focus on man's duties to obey a universal natural law through ritual behavior. Moderation in conduct, or "Li", was emphasized, and [[filial piety]] (respecting the older members of one's family) was the goal. Age itself is greatly honored in Chinese culture, and the elderly were taught to be venerated. He emphasized rational analysis with a touch of flexibility. He is quoted to say, "I for my part am not one of those who have innate knowledge. I am simply one who loves the past and who is diligent in investigating it."

After Confucius died there was an era of the [[Warring States]] in ancient China, lasting from 481-221 B.C. During this time period social philosophy thrived amidst the chaos of war and famine, and Kongzi's teachings were criticized by philosophers such as [[Mozi]] and [[Han Feizi]], while expanded upon by [[Mengzi]] (Latinization: Mencius) and [[Xunzi]], which would be incorporated into governmental policy with the rise of the Han Dynasty.

Confucian ideas were later brought to Europe by [[Marco Polo]]. Despite public opinion, Confucius never himself visited [[Europe]].

Calcium

2007-04-13T15:18:56Z

Vyngarsson:

Calcium is a very important element to human physiology, as calcium-phosphate salts form the basis for the creation of [[bones]]. Calcium in its pure form is referred to as "the white element" and is kept sealed in underground chambers due to the hazards involved in its handling.{{Element | name=Calcium | symbol=Ca | anumber=20 | amass=40.1 amu | noe=20 | class=Standard metal | cstructure=Cubic | color=Silver | date=1808 | discname=[[Sir Humphrey Davy]] | origname=From the Latin ''calcis''. | uses=Calcium is one of the primary elements in bones, shells, etc. Taking Calcium internally can promote bone growth. | obtained=Chalk, limestone, marble, vitamin to promote bone growth. }}

Axiom of Choice

2007-04-13T15:16:44Z

Vyngarsson:

The Axiom of Choice is an [[axiom]] of ZFC set theory that states the following:

<math>\forall x\;(\forall y\;y\in x\Rightarrow\exists z\; z\in y)\;\exists S\;(\forall z\;z\in x\Rightarrow\exists w\;w\in z\;\wedge\;w\in S)\;\wedge\;(\forall v\;v\in z\;\wedge\;v\in S\Rightarrow v=w)</math>

Or more compactly
<math>\forall x\neq\varnothing\;\exists S\;(\forall z\in x\;\exists_1w\in z\cap S).</math>

The English translation of the Axiom of Choice is "For every nonempty set there is a choice function." Or, "We have the right to choose one element from every element of a nonempty set of disjoint sets and this process by which we choose these sets will set up a new set."

The Axiom of Choice has many equivalent statements, such as "the [[Cartesian product]] of any collection of nonempty sets is nonempty", [[The Well-Ordering Principle]], the existence of [[cardinal numbers]], the [[continuum hypothesis]], and the existence of subsets of the real line which do not have a well-defined [[Lebesgue measure]].

Despite its usefulness, many mathematicians nowadays reject the axiom of choice. This rejection is based on the belief that all [[mathematical proofs]] should be constructive. AC, by its very nature, is nonconstructive, since it merely asserts that a choice function exists, but does not give an explicit method for its construction. The formulation of constructive axiom of choice is one of three major problems which challenge 21st century logicians.

The axiom of choice is not related to the [[liberal]] term pro-choice, which is the term used for themselves by proponents of [[abortion]].

Doctorate

2007-04-13T14:50:33Z

Vyngarsson:

A Doctorate is the highest earned degree awarded by a University. In the early days of the University movement, the title "Doctor" (Latin for "Teacher" was only honorary, and typically awarded for some achievement of note in the outside world, such as when Samuel Johnson was awarded a Doctorate in Letters (L.L.D.) by [[Oxford University|Oxford]] for his work on his Dictionary. In the nineteenth century, first in [[Germany]] and later in other nations in Europe and in the United States, the degree of "Doctor of Philosophy" (Latin "Philosophiae Doctoris", thus Ph.D.) was established as the final result of an program of advanced study, culminating in a [[dissertation]] or formal (not always published) work. Though originally awarded only in Philosophy, the Ph.D. is now also awarded in numerous fields of the Humanities and Sciences. Honorary Doctorates are still awarded, but are not considered the equivalent of "earned" doctorates obtained through study, original research, and gumption.

Polyhedron

2007-04-13T14:43:00Z

Vyngarsson:

A '''polyhedron''' is a three dimensional shape which is bounded by [[polygon]]s.

A regular polyhedron is a polyhedron all of whose faces are identical regular polygons, and all of whose vertices have the same number of faces around each vertex. There are only five regular convex polyhedrons—polyhedrons in which the all of the faces are on the outside of the polyhedron.<ref>As opposed to four "star polyhedra" in which the "faces" of the polyhedron slice into the polyhedron</ref>. They are:

*The tetrahedron ("tetra-" meaning "four")
*The cube
*The octohedron ("octo-" meaning "eight")
*The dodecahedron ("dodeca-" meaning "twelve")
*The icosahedron ("icosa-" meaning "twenty")

Role-playing games often use dice in the shape of octohedra, dodecahedra, and icosahedrones, as well as traditional cubical dice. Tetrahedrons cannot be used as dice because they do not roll well.

Because the dodecahedron has twelve sides, decorative calendars are sometimes made in the shape of a dodecahedron, with one month printed on each face.

Mathematics

2007-04-12T21:39:40Z

Vyngarsson:

Mathematics is the [[science]] of [[numbers]], it involves such areas as counting quantity, studying relationships between numbers and relationships in space, and study of structure, rates of change, and time. It includes the fields of [[Algebra]] (relationships between numbers), [[Geometry]] (relationships in space), [[Trigonometry]] (the study of triangles), [[Calculus]] (rates of change), [[Number Theory]] (integers), and [[Category Theory]] (categories). Most mathematical concepts are designed for practical applications such as financial accounting, geometric construction of building, astronomical calculations, calendar dating, telling time, engineering, physics, chemistry, etc. But some mathematicians have developed mathematical concepts without practical applications in mind. The former is called applied mathematics, the latter is called pure mathematics.

Oxygen

2007-04-12T21:13:00Z

Vyngarsson:

Oxygen is a chemical [[element]] vital for life. Under normal conditions it is a colorless odorless [[gas]] consisting of two oxygen [[atom|atoms]] which has the chemical formula O2. This means it is diatomic.

Approximately 20% of the [[atmosphere]] is made up of oxygen.

Oxygen in a concentrated form is explosive. It is the component of all [[combustion]] reactions and produces [[carbon dioxide]].

Zhou Dynasty

2007-04-12T18:33:23Z

Vyngarsson:

The Zhou dynasty replaced the [[Shang dynasty]] in 1027 B.C. It was the longest ruling dynasty in Chinese history. The Zhou dynasty continued until 221 B.C.

The Zhou dynasty developed the multiplication tables. These were later brought to Europe by [[Marco Polo]].

The great teacher, [[Confucius]] lived during the Zhou dynasty. After he died in 478 BC, there was the era of the Warring States until 221 BC. In 221 BC, the brutal dictatorship of the [[Chi'in state]] began.

Tree

2007-04-12T18:18:38Z

Vyngarsson:

A tree is a tall plant, usually with a trunk, branches, and leaves.

Trees are an important part of the Bible. They were created on the Third Day of Creation.<ref>Genesis 1:11-12</ref> It was from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil that Eve brought evil into the world.<ref>Genesis 3:1-7</ref> Jotham used a parable about trees to criticize his brother Abimelech.<ref>Judges 9</ref> And it was on the wood of a tree that our Savior, Jesus Christ, was crucified.

A tree is also a [[graph]] with no cycles, so called because they often resemble actual live trees.

Vyngarsson:

{{stub}}

'''Apple pie''' is a [[pie]] made out of [[apples]]. The first record we have of apple pies dates from the 14th century. When [[English]] settlers first came to [[America]], they brought apple [[trees]] with them, and along with the apple tree, recipies for making apple pies. <ref>http://whatscookingamerica.net/History/PieHistory/ApplePie.htm</ref>

Because of their popularity in the United States, apple pies are sometimes associated with America. For example, something can be said to be as "American as apple pie".
