- quant18 15y 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 15y 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 15y agoI was just reading this section yesterday!
- thejbf 15y 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 15y 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 15y 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 15y agoI'm on Firefox 3.6 and this did nothing to the page's appearance.
- nrbafna 15y 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 15y agoThis is awesome. Finally a solution for all those white on black blogs.
- gcb 15y 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 15y 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 15y ago"Don't use this to cheat" - how quaint. There was once a time when there was an economics of scarcity in information...
- bmohlenhoff 15y agoSo, how many of these algorithms do you think are covered by litigatable software patents?
- beck5 15y agoInteresting, Would be great if there were some sort of tag/taglike system for the properties/usages.
- Hexstream 15y agoNothing for Rete? Come on. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rete_algorithm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rete_algorithm
- misterbwong 15y 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/...
