This is so exciting! My colleagues are doing research in astronomical imaging except on the more theoretical side of things - it's really neat to come across cool downstream applications like that!

Another surprising place decibels pop up, pretty far from loudness related things, is in image comparison metrics. Peak signal-to-noise ratio is mean squared error normalized by a certain peak intensity and it is generally expressed in dB,

I sympathize with your view and I dislike it as much as the next guy when people prove dubious points from poorly convincing stories, but here's how I view things: badly told stories are frustrating, and it is difficult to tell stories

I know that the irrationality of e can be proven using the theory of continued fractions or by showing that finite Taylor sums for e give out rational approximations that are too good for e to be rational. What you're saying does not r

The thing with mathematics is there are often many different ways to prove things leaving no universally agreed upon graph of true mathematical statements in terms of which helps proving which! That being said, you might want to check out P

I was recently looking for a Linux alternative to LibreOffice Calc and couldn't find something that meets my needs (mostly CSV import/export, filtering and pivot tables). It's great to see this new contender showing up and ev
