Talk:Adaptive quadrature

message: Should the tolerance be halved when re-calling integrate()?
i.e.
    Q = integrate(f,a,m,tau/2) + integrate(f,m,b,tau/2)
rather than
    Q = integrate(f,a,m,tau) + integrate(f,m,b,tau)?
This would make sure all tolerances sum to tau.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.88.47.50 (talk) 13:44, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

Algebraic logic has at least two meanings:
# The study of Boolean algebra begun by George Boole, and of relation algebra begun by Augustus DeMorgan, extended by Charles Sanders Peirce, and taking definitive form in the work of Ernst Schröder;
# Abstract algebraic logic, a branch of contemporary mathematical logic.

Talk:Josef Jindřich Šechtl

message: We read:
:After finishing lower high school in Tábor, the boy was particularly interested in chemigraphy (a method of printing photographs). In 1891 (at the age of 14) he started to work as a trainee in the polygraphic factory of Jan Vilím in Prague. [my emphases]
Chemigraphy is redlinked. One popular meaning of the word in the early 20th century, I learn via public-domain ancient "Webster" and Google, was of a non-photographic process. What does it mean here?
The most obvious meaning of polygraphic is related to polygraphy in the sense of lie detection. Surely that isn't meant here. But what is meant? 
Neither word appears in the index to the Oxford Companion to the Photograph (not that this is a specialist work in photochemistry or photo finishing).
I'm wondering if one of these terms, as used here, is a too-direct translation of a German or French term for a process for which English used an entirely different term. But of course I could be quite wrong. -- Hoary (talk) 13:38, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  might be.  Chemigraphy is (I believe) term used in Czech lands for any kind of photographic printing used for publishing (as opposed to hand made photographic prints on photographic papers).

Talk:Barbados Slave Code

message: This slave code is quoted in the book "What white people can do next"(ISBN: 9780141996738) as the origin of the writing into law of the concept of race, and specifically, whiteness, as a way of separating indentured white workers from the black slaves after a series of slave revolts. This also shows how the two empires - spanish and british, had different ways of seeing this. In the Spanish system the Valladolid trial showed that indigenous people were in fact human - although the trial was not conclusive you would see conquistadors shouting out from their boat or even finding translators to read out a kind of contract that gave them the chance to adopt christianity and servitude of their own volition thus avoiding death. The result was forced mestizaje and a very powerful church and processes of "reeducation". In the early days of the peru virreinato, christian black slaves who had integrated were actually judged to be superior to the "wild slaves" and the indigenous people. According to the barbados slave code however, and to the nature of the british empire's subjugation of people on the other hand, black slaves are not even human, and can therefore be treated as goods. 86.180.161.255 (talk) 11:21, 31 May 2021 (UTC)

thread_title:  Etymology 

message: In the paragraph about Banach disks and ultrabornological spaces it is claimed that a ultrabornological X is equal to the inductive limit \operatorname{colim}\limits_{D\,\text{compact}} X_D. Is that really true? For bornological spaces the analogue colimit reduces to a single space where $D$ is choosen to be the unit sphere and in this sense the theorem bornological = colimit of normed reduced just to normed = normed. But for Banachspaces this cannot be true with the attribute "compact" lurking around. Any Banach space is ultrabornological, but one cannot simply choose the unit sphere here, because that is never compact in infinitedimensional spaces.
Should the criterion really use "compact" ? Isn't "complete" the right choice?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.231.92.81 (talk) 00:32, 14 April 2014 (UTC)
