I honestly had no idea what to expect when I was told I was going to lose my eyesight. I always thought it meant that ...

A smarter way to find π using fake circles. This short shows a clever geometric idea that estimates pi without perfect circles, revealing why the method works and how approximation can beat precision.

Abstract: Approximation ability is one of the most important topics in the field of neural networks (NNs). Feedforward NNs, activated by rectified linear units and some of their specific smoothed ...

New efficiency improvements by the U.S. States Postal Service may make the "postmarked by" stamp a less reliable indicator of ...

The best way to improve amputees' control over a bionic hand is to give the hand a mind of its own, a new study argues. A bionic hand that's controlled by an artificial intelligence program, but under ...

PITTSYLVANIA COUNTY, Va. (WDBJ) - When the Office of the Commonwealth Medical Examiner finds unidentified and unidentifiable remains, it turns to the FBI to try to figure out to whom the remains ...

We publish the best academic work (that's too often lost to peer reviews & the TA's desk) to the global tech community byEScholar: Electronic Academic Papers for Scholars@escholar byEScholar: ...

Abstract: This paper addresses the prescribed performance control (PPC) problem of nonlinear systems with unknown control direction. By virtue of composite error ...

Pi Approximation Day occurs every July 22nd. It celebrates pi, a key mathematical constant. Pi relates a circle's circumference to its diameter. William Jones introduced the π symbol in 1706.

Pi Approximation Day 2025 is celebrated on 22 July, marking the mathematical significance of the fraction 22/7, a widely used approximation of pi. This special day honors the constant pi (π), which ...

In simple terms, approximation means replacing actual numbers with their nearby simple values to make calculations faster. For example, instead of multiplying 19.9 with 5.1, you can take them as 20 ...

In this paper, we define a new kind of positive linear operator by combining Baskakov and Szász operators and obtain the rate of convergence in simultaneous approximation. Journal Information Bulletin ...
