HomePageThere will be a web page here someday, instead of construction rubble. I am planning to hold forth here on constructive mathematics, quantum mechanics, category theory, fiction, computer programming, and other matters of interest to me. Most of these are, to my mind, foundational issues. Usually, I'm more interested in the point of the various topice than the details. But the details are often important. It's been said that God resides there. One of the things I'd like to experiment with is how modern technology can assist in making available extensive, coherent presentations of complex systems of ideas. Whether this site resemble a blog, or a collaborative web site is still to be seen. I feel bloggy about this at the moment, but I'm also intensely aware of the value of open collaboration. What will happen depends a lot on the response I get. Comments and collaboration are welcome. If you find a typo, please fix it. If you find me making a grave blunder, let me know. If the site prevents you fixing something, please write me. I will generally use Canadian spelling, so you're welcome to change honor to honour, but not the reverse. Some of the stuff here I'll be figuring out myself while I'm writing it. That's one of the motivations for me -- these are a kind of study notes I'm updating as I work through the concepts. There was a default home page here before. It was part of the original wiki software and contains some information about PmWiki. There is a rarely updated blog at http://hendrikboom.livejournal.com/ A faithful colleague has made mathematics to look readable on this site. Here are a few test cases. If they look like ugly TEX, things have become broken again. You will need to have Javascript enabled for this to work; after displaying everythign in TEX, a Javascript script modifies them into a semblance of mathematics. This is a LaTeX formula: \sin(2x) = 2\sin(x)\cos(x) .
So is this: a^2+b^2=c^2
x^4 \frac {dQ_x}{dt} = \left(\frac{U- \frac{Q}{C}}{R}\right) |
