A friend asked us once, “Should I use LaTeX or MiKTeX?” In various guises, this is a common question, seemingly innocent, but actually betraying a fundamental confusion about the levels of operation in the TeX world. As a further confusion, the word “TeX” can be used to refer to any of a myriad of items at any level. Starting at the top: Distributions:MiKTeX, TeX Live, … These are the large collections of TeX-related software to be downloaded and installed. Output formats TeX source files can be typeset into several different output formats, depending on the engine. At a high level, the output format that gets used depends on the program you invoke.

Example: The Heaviside Function Define the Heaviside function as follows: > H:=piecewise(x<0,0,x>=0,1); We investigate the left and right-hand limits of the function at 0 visually. > plot(H(x)+1,x=-2..2,y=-1..3,discont=true); Notice that while .

Overview of the Scholarly Societies Project. 100 Extensive University Libraries from Around the World that Anyone Can Access « mary & mac design. Universities house an enormous amount of information and their libraries are often the center of it all. You don’t have to be affiliated with any university to take advantage of some of what they have to offer. From digital archives, to religious studies, to national libraries, these university libraries from around the world have plenty of information for you.

There are many resources for designers as well. Although this is mainly a blog that caters to designers and artists I have decided to include many other libraries for all to enjoy. Capturing images of manuscripts, art, and artifacts, digital libraries are an excellent way of both preserving the past and sharing it with everyone. Harvard University Library. These digital libraries either have a focus on a culture other than that of the United States or are housed in another country. The Digital South Asia Library.

The Gervais Principle, Or The Office According to “The Office” My neighbor introduced me to The Office back in 2005. Since then, I’ve watched every episode of both the British and American versions. I’ve watched the show obsessively because I’ve been unable to figure out what makes it so devastatingly effective, and elevates it so far above the likes of Dilbert and Office Space. Until now, that is. Now, after four years, I’ve finally figured the show out. The Office is not a random series of cynical gags aimed at momentarily alleviating the existential despair of low-level grunts. It is a fully realized theory of management that falsifies 83.8% of the business section of the bookstore. The theory begins with Hugh MacLeod’s well-known cartoon, Company Hierarchy (below), and its cornerstone is something I will call The Gervais Principle, which supersedes both the Peter Principle and its successor, The Dilbert Principle.

From The Whyte School to The Gervais Principle Back then, Whyte was extremely pessimistic. Which brings us to our main idea. Truth. Helium - Where Knowledge Rules. Truth About International Baccalaureate. Common sense ebooks download.
