He also worked in the 1970s with magazines such as "Galaxy Science Fiction", "If", "Worlds of Fantasy", and "Worlds of Tomorrow".
Dozois was well known for publishing books that collected many short stories. After leaving "Asimov's", he continued as the editor of the series "The Year's Best Science Fiction". This has been published each year since 1984. He also edited a long series of themed anthologies with Jack Dann. Each book has a title that explains the theme, such as "Cats", "Dinosaurs", "Seaserpents", or "Hackers".
Dozois always said he was especially interested in adventure science fiction and space opera. He calls these two sub-genre "center-core SF".
Michael Swanwick published a book-length interview with Dozois in 2001. The book was called "Being Gardner Dozois". It was about each published piece of fiction Dozois ever wrote. Swanwick had written some stories together with Dozois. In 2002, the interview was named as a possible Hugo Award for Best Related Book winner. It won the 2002 Locus Award for Non-Fiction.
Linear equation
In mathematics, a linear equation is a type of equation. In a linear equation, both terms have to be constant. A linear equation is the equation of a straight line. This type of equation is written in the form:
y = mx + b
or (y - y1) = m(x - x1)
where : m = the rate of change, or slope.
The slope is how fast the line moves up or down. Larger numbers will make the slope steeper.
If m is a negative number, then the line will appear to fall or go down the page when read from left to right.
If m is a positive number, then the line will appear to climb the page when read from left to right.
While b = the y-intercept of the function.
This is where the function crosses the y - axis of the coordinate plane.The first equation is called slope-intercept form, because in it, the slope (m) and y-intercept (b) are easily found.The second equation is called point-slope form, because in it, a point on the graph (x1, y1) and the slope (m) are easily found.
