PASCAL TERCENTENARY CELEBRATION

The evolution of the animals: introduction to a Linnean tercentenary celebration.

Celebrating 300 years since the birth of Carl Linnaeus (1707-1778), a meeting was held in June 2007 to review recent progress made in understanding the origins and evolutionary radiation of the animals. The year 2008 celebrates the 250th anniversary of the publication of the 10th edition of Linnaeus' Systema Naturae, generally considered to be the starting point of zoological nomenclature. With...

Vector Pascal

Vector Pascal is a language designed to support elegant and efficient expression of algorithms using the SIMD model of computation. It imports into Pascal features derived from the functional languages APL and J, in particular the extension of all operators to work on vectors of data. The type system is extended to handle dimensional analysis. Code generation is via the ILCG system that allows ...

Pascal Matrices

Every polynomial of degree n has n roots; every continuous function on [0, 1] attains its maximum; every real symmetric matrix has a complete set of orthonormal eigenvectors. “General theorems” are a big part of the mathematics we know. We can hardly resist the urge to generalize further! Remove hypotheses, make the theorem tighter and more difficult, include more functions, move into Hilbert s...
