- quant18 16y agoThere's insane amounts of great stuff hidden in the various nooks and crannies of the NIST website. Some of my other favorites: Engineering Statistics Handbook http://www.itl.nist.gov/div898/handbook/index.htm http://www.itl.nist.gov/div898/handbook/index.htm Digital Library of Mathematical Functions http://dlmf.nist.gov/ http://dlmf.nist.gov/ The Quantum Algorithm Zoo http://math.nist.gov/quantum/zoo/ http://math.nist.gov/quantum/zoo/
- onan_barbarian 16y agoAgreed on the Engineering Statistics Handbook, especially Section 5 on Process Improvement, which contains a decent (and free) treatment of Design of Experiments. A lot of the earlier sections are ok but not as sharply interesting, but their DoE stuff is quite good.
- Entaroadun 16y agoI was just reading this section yesterday!
- thejbf 16y agoThis dictionary looks like it's the index of The Algorithm Design Manual by Skiena: http://www.amazon.com/Algorithm-Design-Manual-Steve-Skiena/dp/0387948600 http://www.amazon.com/Algorithm-Design-Manual-Steve-Skiena/d...
- arasraj 16y agoI was thinking the same thing. The catalog of algorithms at the end of the book is indispensable. This site does seem to cover a much broader range of algorithms though.
- nrbafna 16y agoa two-minute css-pivot to make homepage a little easier on the eyes. http://www.csspivot.com/az9fT http://www.csspivot.com/az9fT
- achompas 16y agoI'm on Firefox 3.6 and this did nothing to the page's appearance.
- nrbafna 16y agoDon't know what's wrong there. Anyways, it's just a width, line-height, font changes. Just to show a little bit of CSS could have helped and is just for the homepage. Could make a custom css for it, if you want. The site is immensely useful, though. also, here's a screenshot if you want to compare. http://i.imgur.com/fnu8L.png http://i.imgur.com/fnu8L.png. again, nothing big though :)
- sili 16y agoThis is awesome. Finally a solution for all those white on black blogs.
- gcb 16y agoI disagree. Browser side user-css files are the solution to this 'problem' (honestly, my main gripe is low contrast, mainly the gray on white that is the last fashion these days) opera is the only one that got it right. easy to write the css in a way it works for most sites, and a very convenient way to turn it on/off. too bad opera is ridden with bugs since 8.5 and so i gave up.
- sphynx 16y agoHaha, there is a definition of Marlena: Definition: A wonderful wife. Every man should have such an incredible wife. We got married in 1976, too, and life's only gotten better. http://xlinux.nist.gov/dads//HTML/marlena.html http://xlinux.nist.gov/dads//HTML/marlena.html
- andrewcooke 16y ago"Don't use this to cheat" - how quaint. There was once a time when there was an economics of scarcity in information...
- bmohlenhoff 16y agoSo, how many of these algorithms do you think are covered by litigatable software patents?
- beck5 16y agoInteresting, Would be great if there were some sort of tag/taglike system for the properties/usages.
- Hexstream 16y agoNothing for Rete? Come on. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rete_algorithm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rete_algorithm
- misterbwong 16y agoIf you're interested in glossaries of this type, there's a great one (with pictures!) in the back of The Algorithm Design Manual by Steven Skiena. http://www.amazon.com/Algorithm-Design-Manual-Steven-Skiena/dp/1849967202/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1304116197&sr=8-1 http://www.amazon.com/Algorithm-Design-Manual-Steven-Skiena/...
