Squinting at Power Series

Data streams are an ideal vehicle for handling power series. Stream implementations can be read off directly from simple recursive equations that define operations such as multiplication, substitution, exponentiation, and reversion of series. The bookkeeping that bedevils these algorithms when they are expressed in traditional languages is completely hidden when they are expressed in stream ter...

Non-central Fixation in Squinting Children.

ACCORDING to Ciuppers (1958), about 2 per cent. of the population of Germany, France, and Switzerland suffer from unilateral amblyopia; the proportion in Great Britain is likely to be very similar. Though amblyopia resulting from ocular deviation may arise where the fixation is central, the great importance of eccentric fixation in relation to amblyopia is now generally recognized and considera...

Still not enough taxonomists: reply to Joppa et al.

Taxonomists are people who describe species. This work is essential for the conservation of biodiversity and for estimating how many species there are left to be discovered, the so-called missing species [1]. However, it has been claimed the science of taxonomy is in crisis [2] because researchers are afraid that the number of people describing new species is in decline [3,4]. In a recent lette...
