In the spring of 2006 we again asked the Princeton University community to submit images—and, for the first time, videos and sounds—produced in the course of research or incorporating tools and concepts from science. Out of nearly 150 entries from 16 departments, we selected 56 works to appear in the 2006 Art of Science exhibition. The practices of science and art both involve the single-minded pursuit of those moments of discovery when what one perceives suddenly becomes more than the sum of its parts.

Each piece in this exhibition is, in its own way, a record of such a moment. They range from the image that validates years of research, to the epiphany of beauty in the trash after a long day at the lab, to a painter's meditation on the meaning of biological life. We thank all those who submitted their work to this year's competition. Next Page » About | 2009 Gallery | 2006 Gallery | 2005 Gallery | Press | Contact Design by Jonathan Harris, Number 27.

Quake II for red-blue 3D glasse. You're going to need: Linux (or some other OS if you know how to compile Quake II itself and the X11 software renderer) - I'd love to make a Windows version but I know nothing about programming graphics under Windows Quake II source from id Software's FTP or one of the mirrors (q2source-3.21.zip) my modifications (red-blue-quake2-0.1.tar.gz) red-blue "3D" glasses (like these) original Quake II game content (the *.pak files) - the engine is under the GPL, the game content is not!

Then perform the following commands: unzip q2source-3.21.zip tar -xzf red-blue-quake2-0.1.tar.gz cd quake2-3.21/linux/ make cd debugi386-glibc/ mkdir baseq2 cd baseq2/ ln -s .. /gamei386.so ln -s /path/to/quake2/baseq2/pak*.pak ./ cd .. echo ". " > /etc/quake2.conf . And that's it! Here are some screenshots if you want to know what it looks like: optimize (right now it's pretty slow) red-blue mode for the OpenGL renderer Enjoy! Oh, and if you like Quake II then check out aaquake2 - Quake II in text mode. Verschiedene Weltkugeln - by trashhero.ch. Images of the social and economic world. Here is an ordinary map of the world: Click on image for a larger version Roughly speaking, on a map like this, the sizes of the countries of the world are in proportion to their actual sizes on the surface of the planet and their shapes are the same as their actual shapes.

(This is only approximate though, since some distortion is inevitable when you go from a spherical planet to a flat map.) It's possible, however, and sometimes very useful, to redraw the map with the sizes of countries made bigger or smaller in order to represent something of interest. Such maps are called cartograms and can be an effective and natural way of portraying geographic or social data. Here, for example, is a cartogram that shows the human population of the countries of the world: Population Notice also how the lines of latitude and longitude have become distorted by the growing and shrinking countries. Gross domestic product Now here are a few more cartograms. Child mortality People living with HIV/AIDS. What the Internet really looks like. The Fourth Dimension Using Col. MLI Home → Mathematics → Visualizing the Fourth Dimension Using Color But what about dimension 8½?

Color can be used for more than exploring special relativity. Assigning color to every point on a surface is a way to envision higher dimensions. Let's start with a simple example: a disc with concentric colors. If we map hue to height linearly, the result is a cone. We get a cone because we chose a linear mapping. A more interesting example is a shape that intersects itself, such as the figure eight on the left below. This technique is particularly handy when dealing with knots. Unknotting a Knot Using Four Dimensions This mental tool really starts to shine when we kick everything up a dimension. Taking again the trefoil knot, let white indicate a point in our 3D space. Next, pull the now-4D (green) loop through another part of the knot still in (white) 3D space. Finally, move the loop in the kata direction to return it to our 3D space. Voilà: what was a knot is now an unknotted closed loop.

It's not often, however, that we get a chance to see exactly how fast Quicksort really is. The following applets chart the progress of several common sorting algorithms while sorting an array of data using in-place algorithms.

This means that the algorithms do not allocate additional storage to hold temporary results: they sort the data in place. (This is inspired by the algorithm animation work at Brown University and the video Sorting out Sorting By Ronald Baecker from the University of Toronto (circa 1970!).) Some of these sorts are very stupid or very slow and should not be used in code. The use of Bubblesort is deprecated. So don't use Bubblesort! In-Place Mergesort is yet another abomination.

Designer Jan-Henrik Andersen, in conjunction with particle physicists, developed a visual language that describes the interrelationships between the elementary particles, both known and hypothesized. by Elizabeth Wade Few facets of nature are more mysterious than the quantum world. Particles that appear and disappear from nothing, interactions governed by probability, and intrinsic uncertainties are enough to baffle even the most experienced scientist. Making these ideas even more difficult to grasp is the fact that no one can ever hope to see a particle—in fact, particles may not even have "looks" at all. Undeterred by these challenges, industrial designer Jan-Henrik Andersen set out to create a visual guide that anyone, from particle physicists to high school students, could use to navigate the quantum universe.

"The idea was to transform physical properties into visual properties," Andersen explains. All the forms should be generated by one simple visual element. Thomas/computer/programs/useless/...

Much of what makes a great product manager is empathy and a desire to serve others. Tulsi demonstrates these qualities better than most I’ve come across. As you will see below, her passion for design as part of product management is only surpassed by that for her customers, products and causes. Oh, and there is usually much laughter involved. Enjoy and feel free to reach out to her at Even after years of product management experience at several companies, I still get frustrated when folks frequently say “So, you are a Project Manager”. With this in mind, let’s begin this discussion by describing what a Product Manager is. As Catherine Shyu, Product Manager at Send Grid puts so nicely: “Much of a Product Manager’s responsibility is to juggle multiple streams of conversation and move them towards closure.”

Successful disruptive and innovative brands like Basecamp, Airbnb, Fab, and many others have proven that features alone don’t improve the sales. Enterprise Decision Management - a Weblog. The relationship between algorithmic developments and hardware improvements has led to the immense speed-up in optimization codes over the last few decades. There has long been a debate over which improvement has done the most for forward progress. Hardware developments seem to have taken two main routes: the supercomputer and at the lower end, the multi-processor, multicore chip. The supercomputer has become even more “super”, but the special algorithms once developed for vector processing are no longer used. However, we should not ignore the role played by algorithm development in the recent past. Without it, the vector and parallel supercomputers could have conferred almost no advantage on linear programming (simplex) based methods.

The situation at the low-end has been different. What of the future? Jon Udell: Screencasting of tacit knowledge. Newsmap. Update: Jan 20, 2012 My appologies for not updating this site lately.
