The information richness of the informatics course basic school makes you pay attention to possibility for introducing theme "Number systems" students at propaedeutic stage. use in fifth or sixth grades concept a detailed form recording number justify studied algorithms, is impossible obvious reasons. At this stage training, can arrange student actions using digit grid, which allows include pos...

The article substantiates the importance of studying such a section school informatics course as algebra logic. ways motivating schoolchildren in study elements logic using Arduino hardware platform are substantiated. advantages learning highlighted. Examples assignments given which theoretical component specified is supported by implementation practical work with experimental support. Moreover...

In 1984, B. Chazelle [SIAM J. Comp., 13 (1984), pp. 488{507] proposed a notch-cutting procedure for decomposing a non-convex polyhedron into convex pieces. This paper shows that notch-cutting, when applied to a polyhedron with n faces and r re ex dihedral angles, gives a convex decomposition with (nr + r7=3) worst-case complexity. The upper and lower bounds are obtained by studying the complexi...

What happens when machines become more intelligent than humans? One view is that this event will be followed by an explosion to evergreater levels of intelligence, as each generation of machines creates more intelligent machines in turn. This intelligence explosion is now often known as the ‘singularity’. The basic argument here was set out by the statistician I.J. Good in his 1965 article ‘Spe...
