The People's Army of Vietnam (PAVN) is the military of modern-day Vietnam. It was also the military of communist North Vietnam during the First Indochina War and the Vietnam War. Non-communist fighters called it the Viet Minh during the First Indochina War and the North Vietnamese Army (NVA) during the Vietnam War. The NVA is not to be confused with the Viet Cong because the Viet Cong were South Vietnamese who fought for North Vietnam. During the Vietnam War, the NVA made a system of trails (mostly in Laos and Cambodia) called the Ho Chi Minh Trail. This was made to send NVA soldiers into South Vietnam and to give Viet Cong support to fight against non-communist soldiers.

In numerical analysis, series acceleration (sometimes called as convergence improvement) is the name for algorithms that transforms slowly convergent series to rapidly convergent series.

Where it is used
The NSum and NLimit command in Wolfram Mathematica is based on series acceleration. In addition, Romberg integration (a famous numerical integration method) is also based on this technique.

Joseph Fourier said that it is possible to use sine waves to approximate another function. This is a series in the mathematical sense. This theory can be generalized to the Fourier transform. Mathematical analysis of these functions is called Fourier analysis. 

In the 18th century, mathematicians such as Euler, Lagrange and Bernoulli already used sinusoids to approximate and model other functions. When Fourier published a work on heat, in 1822, he said that such approximations exist for any such function (that is continuous in the interval). At first, people didn't believe him, and it took almost ten years for a proof (of part of the problem) to appear.

Today, fourier series are used a lot in digital signal processing.

Léo Major  & Bar (January 23, 1921 – October 12, 2008) was a Canadian soldier. He was the only Canadian to ever get the Distinguished Conduct Medal (DCM) twice in different wars. Major got his first DCM in World War II in 1945 when he made the German army run away in the city of Zwolle; he did this by himself. He was sent to scout the city with one of his best friends, but he thought Zwolle was too beautiful for an attack, deciding instead to clear it out himself. A firefight happened in which his friend was killed, and after that, he put the commanders of each group of enemy soldiers he found at gunpoint. He did this until he could take soldier groups prisoner back at base. He did this again and again until the there were no more German soldiers in the city. He got his second DCM in 1951 during the Korean War for leading the capture of an important hill.

Hick's law, or the Hick–Hyman law is named after British and American psychologists William Edmund Hick and Ray Hyman. It describes the time it takes for a person to make a decision as a result of the possible choices.

Increasing the number of choices increases the decision time logarithmically. The amount of time taken to process a certain amount of bits in the Hick–Hyman law is known as the rate of gain of information.

Hick's law may support some computing menu design decisions. For example, to find a given word (e.g. the name of a command) in a randomly ordered word list (e.g. a menu). If the list is alphabetical, and the user knows the name of the command, he or she may be able to use a subdividing strategy that works in logarithmic time.

Nicolas Steno was a Danish scientist, a pioneer in  anatomy and geology. He became a Catholic bishop in his later years.

by 1659 he questioned the knowledge of the natural world accepted in his time. He questioned the idea that fossils grew in the ground, and the explanations of rock formation. His investigations made him one of the founders of modern stratigraphy and modern geology.

Geology and stratigraphy 

Steno, in his Dissertationis prodromus of 1669 is credited with four of the defining principles of the science of stratigraphy. Much simplified, his ideas were:
 the law of superposition: Lower strata were laid down earlier than upper strata.
 the principle of original horizontality: when one of the upper strata was being formed, the lower stratum had already become a solid.
 the principle of lateral continuity: when any given stratum was being formed it was encompassed on its sides by another solid substance.
 When any stratum was being formed, all the matter resting upon it was fluid, so at the time when the lowest stratum was being formed, none of the upper strata existed.

Steno's ideas still form the basis of stratigraphy and were key in the development of James Hutton's theory of infinitely repeating cycles of seabed deposition, uplifting, erosion, and submersion.

Many parts of the  Hebrew Bible are written as poetry.  One of the the main features of the Hebrew poetry is parallelism of thought. The Book of Psalms and the Book of Proverbs are almost all poetry.  Some of the Prophetic books also have poetic sections. Even the Book of Genesis includes some poems, or songs and they are sometimes called.

Parallellism
Unlike English poetry, and that of many cultures, Hebrew poetry does not rhyme words.  Neither is rhythm or meter often used.  Instead alternate lines of the poem have a related thought. This is called parallelism.  One advantage of this type of poetry is that it is easy to make a translation that keeps the idea or teaching of the original language. That is much more difficult to do if the translation has to make words rhyme or follow a metrical pattern.  Several types of  parallelism can be found in Biblical poetry.  These include:

 Synonymous parallelism; in this form, the second half line of each verse says much the same thing as the first one, with variations.  An example appears in Amos (Amos 5:24)

But let judgment run down as waters,
and righteousness as a mighty stream.

Another example of synonymous parallelism comes in Isaiah (Isaiah 2:4) or Book of Micah (Micah 4:3)

"They will beat their swords into plowsharesand their spears into pruning hooks. Antithesis is also found; here, the second unit directly contrasts with the first, often making the same point from the opposite perspective.  From Book of Proverbs (Proverbs 10:1)A wise son maketh a glad father,but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother. Emblematic parallelism occurs where one unit renders figuratively the literal meaning of another.
 Synthetic parallelism occurs where the units balance, clause for clause, with one unit building upon or adding to the first.  From Psalm 14:2The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men,to see if there were any that did understand and seek God. Climactic parallelism occurs where the second unit partially balances the first, but also sums up the thought or completes the series.  From Psalm 29:1:Give unto the LORD, O ye mighty,give unto the LORD glory and strength.''
