Peephole optimizationPeephole optimization is an optimization technique performed on a small set of compiler-generated instructions; the small set is known as the peephole or window. Peephole optimization involves changing the small set of instructions to an equivalent set that has better performance.
Enseignement des mathématiquesL'enseignement des mathématiques vise à transmettre des compétences en mathématiques, le plus souvent en expliquant et en appliquant des méthodes scientifiques. Cet enseignement a fait l'objet de nombreux débats dans les sociétés modernes. vignette|Calcul mental. Dans l'école populaire de S. A.

Optimizing compilerIn computing, an optimizing compiler is a compiler that tries to minimize or maximize some attributes of an executable computer program. Common requirements are to minimize a program's execution time, memory footprint, storage size, and power consumption (the last three being popular for portable computers). Compiler optimization is generally implemented using a sequence of optimizing transformations, algorithms which take a program and transform it to produce a semantically equivalent output program that uses fewer resources or executes faster.
Exercise (mathematics)A mathematical exercise is a routine application of algebra or other mathematics to a stated challenge. Mathematics teachers assign mathematical exercises to develop the skills of their students. Early exercises deal with addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of integers. Extensive courses of exercises in school extend such arithmetic to rational numbers. Various approaches to geometry have based exercises on relations of angles, segments, and triangles.
Philosophie des mathématiquesLa philosophie des mathématiques est la branche de la philosophie des sciences qui tente de répondre aux interrogations sur les fondements des mathématiques ainsi que sur leur usage. On y croise des questions telles que : « les mathématiques sont-elles nécessaires ? », « pourquoi les mathématiques sont-elles utiles ou efficaces pour décrire la nature ? », « dans quel(s) sens, peut-on dire que les entités mathématiques existent ? » ou « pourquoi et comment peut-on dire qu'une proposition mathématique est vraie ? ».
Differential-algebraic system of equationsIn electrical engineering, a differential-algebraic system of equations (DAE) is a system of equations that either contains differential equations and algebraic equations, or is equivalent to such a system. In mathematics these are examples of differential algebraic varieties and correspond to ideals in differential polynomial rings (see the article on differential algebra for the algebraic setup).
Stochastic partial differential equationStochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs) generalize partial differential equations via random force terms and coefficients, in the same way ordinary stochastic differential equations generalize ordinary differential equations. They have relevance to quantum field theory, statistical mechanics, and spatial modeling. One of the most studied SPDEs is the stochastic heat equation, which may formally be written as where is the Laplacian and denotes space-time white noise.
Numerical methods for ordinary differential equationsNumerical methods for ordinary differential equations are methods used to find numerical approximations to the solutions of ordinary differential equations (ODEs). Their use is also known as "numerical integration", although this term can also refer to the computation of integrals. Many differential equations cannot be solved exactly. For practical purposes, however – such as in engineering – a numeric approximation to the solution is often sufficient. The algorithms studied here can be used to compute such an approximation.
Numerical methods for partial differential equationsNumerical methods for partial differential equations is the branch of numerical analysis that studies the numerical solution of partial differential equations (PDEs). In principle, specialized methods for hyperbolic, parabolic or elliptic partial differential equations exist. Finite difference method In this method, functions are represented by their values at certain grid points and derivatives are approximated through differences in these values.
Le Rêve de la femme du pêcheurLe Rêve de la femme du pêcheur est le nom donné généralement à une estampe érotique sans titre de Hokusai, qui ouvrait le recueil Kinoe no Komatsu publié en 1814. Au Japon, elle est connue sous le nom de . L'estampe représente une femme allongée, enlacée par les tentacules de deux pieuvres. La plus petite étreint l'un de ses seins et l'embrasse alors que la plus grande pratique un cunnilingus. Le paysage est fait de montagnes.
Marco EvaristtiMarco Evaristti (born 1963) is a Chilean artist who has lived in Denmark since the 1980s. While a trained and practicing architect, he is best known for hosting a dinner party where the main course was agnolotti pasta that was topped with a meatball made with his own fat, removed earlier in the year in a liposuction operation. Though raised a Catholic, in his teenage years Evaristti found out he was born to a Jewish mother, which some account for the philosophical and religious themes in his work.
Constraint satisfactionIn artificial intelligence and operations research, constraint satisfaction is the process of finding a solution through a set of constraints that impose conditions that the variables must satisfy. A solution is therefore a set of values for the variables that satisfies all constraints—that is, a point in the feasible region. The techniques used in constraint satisfaction depend on the kind of constraints being considered.
