In mathematics, specifically in commutative algebra, the elementary symmetric polynomials are one type of basic building block for symmetric polynomials, in the sense that any symmetric polynomial can be expressed as a polynomial in elementary symmetric polynomials.
 That is, any symmetric polynomial "P" is given by an expression involving only additions and multiplication of constants and elementary symmetric polynomials.
 There is one elementary symmetric polynomial of degree "d" in "n" variables for each nonnegative integer "d" ≤ "n" , and it is formed by adding together all distinct products of "d" distinct variables.
Integer BASIC, written by Steve Wozniak, was the BASIC interpreter of the Apple I and original Apple II computers.
 Originally available on cassette, then included in ROM on the original Apple II computer at release in 1977, it was the first version of BASIC used by many early home computer owners.
In mathematics, the classification of the finite simple groups is a theorem stating that every finite simple group belongs to one of four broad classes described below.
 These groups can be seen as the basic building blocks of all finite groups, in a way reminiscent of the way the prime numbers are the basic building blocks of the natural numbers.
 The Jordan–Hölder theorem is a more precise way of stating this fact about finite groups.
 However, a significant difference from integer factorization is that such "building blocks" do not necessarily determine a unique group, since there might be many non-isomorphic groups with the same composition series or, put in another way, the extension problem does not have a unique solution.
In the 18th century, Johann Heinrich Lambert proved that the number π (pi) is irrational: that is, it cannot be expressed as a fraction "a"/"b", where "a" is an integer and "b" is a non-zero integer.
 In the 19th century, Charles Hermite found a proof that requires no prerequisite knowledge beyond basic calculus.
 Three simplifications of Hermite's proof are due to Mary Cartwright, Ivan Niven and Bourbaki.
 Another proof, which is a simplification of Lambert's proof, is due to Miklós Laczkovich.
The first Pentium microprocessor was introduced by Intel on March 22, 1993.
 Dubbed P5, its microarchitecture was the fifth generation for Intel, and the first superscalar IA-32 microarchitecture.
 As a direct extension of the 80486 architecture, it included dual integer pipelines, a faster floating-point unit, wider data bus, separate code and data caches and features for further reduced address calculation latency.
 In 1996, the "Pentium with MMX Technology" (often simply referred to as "Pentium MMX") was introduced with the same basic microarchitecture complemented with an MMX instruction set, larger caches, and some other enhancements.
Stephen Gary "Steve" Wozniak ( ; born Stephan Gary Wozniak on August 11, 1950), also nicknamed "The Woz", is an American inventor, electronics engineer, programmer, philanthropist, and technology entrepreneur who co-founded Apple Inc. He is known as a pioneer of the personal computer revolution of the 1970s and 1980s, along with Apple co-founder Steve Jobs.
Applesoft BASIC is a dialect of Microsoft BASIC, developed by Marc McDonald and Ric Weiland, supplied with the Apple II series of computers.
 It supersedes Integer BASIC and is the BASIC in ROM in all Apple II series computers after the original Apple II model.
 It is also referred to as FP BASIC (from "floating point") because of the Disk Operating System (DOS) command used to invoke it, instead of INT for Integer BASIC.
 Applesoft BASIC was supplied by Microsoft and its name is derived from the names of both Apple and Microsoft.
 Apple employees, including Randy Wigginton, adapted Microsoft's interpreter for the Apple II and added several features.
 The first version of Applesoft was released in 1977 only on cassette tape and lacked proper support for high-resolution graphics.
 Applesoft II, which was made available on cassette and disk and in the ROM of the Apple II Plus and subsequent models, was released in 1978.
 It is this latter version, which has some syntax differences from the first as well as support for the Apple II high-resolution graphics modes, that most people mean by the term "Applesoft".
Shape tables were a powerful yet little-used feature of the early Apple II ROMs, allowing for simple graphic manipulation on Apple II series computers, using the "hi-res" (HGR/HGR2) graphics mode.
 Shape tables were available from the BASIC interpreter in Applesoft BASIC and from machine code in the "Programmer's Aid" package that was bundled with the original Integer BASIC ROMs for that computer.
SWEET16 is an interpreted byte-code language invented by Steve Wozniak and implemented as part of the Integer BASIC ROM in the Apple II series of computers.
 It was created because Wozniak needed to manipulate 16-bit pointer data in his implementation of BASIC, and the Apple II was an 8-bit computer.
A prescaler is an electronic counting circuit used to reduce a high frequency electrical signal to a lower frequency by integer division.
 The prescaler takes the basic timer clock frequency (which may be the CPU clock frequency or may be some higher or lower frequency) and divides it by some value before feeding it to the timer, according to how the prescaler register(s) are configured.
 The prescaler values that may be configured might be limited to a few fixed values (powers of 2), or they may be any integer value from 1 to 2^P, where P is the number of prescaler bits.
