"I Purchased 2 cargo mats for Mazda CX-5. They immediately called me to ensure there was no mistake, that I indeed wanted 2(my daughter has same vehicle). Once confirmed I was told they would go right out. I received mats 2 days later! They were genuine OEM, at a VERY good price. They fit perfect and look great. I really appreciated the personal touch of that phone call to make sure there was no error. Mistakes happen and that is a way to save everyone a lot of grief. 2016 Mazda CX-5"

Didn't have to be transferred or anything.) They ship orders so quickly it is almost like buying from the store down the block. I highly recommend this business. Mazda 6"

"I am a return customer, this is a great company to deal with. I have bought from them on eBay as well as their online dealership store. On every occasion, they have the lowest price. I really like how the oil change kits come with the OEM crush washer as well, can't find that anywhere. The mazda moly oil they carry is the best oil you can possibly put into your mazda skyactiv engine (again, lowest price). Happy customer here. 2014 Mazda CX-5"

They arrived with complete and step-by-step installation instructions. I had the cross bars installed within half an hour and they fit perfectly.

"Prices close to the best and they zoom to the top with low shipping costs. A mix of large and small items were packed appropriately with the touch-up paint in a small, labeled box within the much larger box that held the floor mats. Items exactly as expected; delivery exactly when I was told. Accordingly did not need customer service, but I'm confident it would similarly excel. 2013 Mazda CX-5"
David, RI
"I purchased some floor mats for my 2012 Mazda CX-9. They came promptly, with free shipping, exactly as described on the site. I will use them again or future purchases. By buying from this company instead of the dealer where I got my car, I saved over $100! Thanks! 2012 Mazda CX-9"

"This is the second time I've purchased parts from MCM, and am just as happy as the first time. Great prices overall (although some individual items can be found cheaper elsewhere) and the free shipping on over $100 is what seals the deal. I would much rather purchase from my local Mazda dealer, but they charge full retail and won't match prices. Their loss, MCM's gain. 2006 Mazda 3"

"I recently ordered some floor mats for a 2002 Tribute. Med Center Mazda had the best price that I could find - even better than my local dealer. The mats were excellent. Just what I was looking for. My experience was extremely positive and I would highly recommend this merchant. They were professional, fair and shipped right away. 2002 Mazda Tribute"
Janelle, CO
"Overall this was a good transaction. I liked the selection of Mazda products that were available at Med Center Mazda and the prices were pretty good. My order arrived in a timely manner and I received e-mail confirmation of my order and tracking number upon shipment. I did like that orders over $100 get free shipping (this was something I took advantage of). However, I didn't like that shipping was so expensive if you wanted to purchase a single item; expedited shipping prices were higher than the cost of the merchandise. If they didn't have the option to have free shipping on orders over $100 I likely wouldn't have been able to make my purchase. 2010 Mazda 3"

Russell, NV
"I have always had very good experience with Med Center Mazda. It is faster and more convenient to order parts from Med Center Mazda than from the closest "local" dealer. The parts typically arrive in about one week, much faster than parts orders at my local dealer. Best of all, one can order online or by phone from Med Center Mazda using a credit card. For some reason, my "local" dealer (about 15 miles away) will not take phone orders using the credit card but instead requires two 30 mile round trips (one to order and a second to pick up parts). I have ordered parts from Med Center Mazda a dozen times or so, so clearly I would order from them again! 1990 Mazda Miata"

"An auto dealers' parts department is never cheap but Med Center Mazda takes some of the sting out of the OE cost.

6 Cartoonishly Simple Battle Plans That Worked
Considering that warfare is a wall-to-wall carnival of gruesome horror, you wouldn't think you'd run into that many moments of wacky slapstick. And you certainly wouldn't expect armies to be thwarted by tricks so stupid that they could have come from the burglary scene of Home Alone.
But that's exactly what happens in pretty much every war. After all, how else can you surprise the enemy but by doing something so stupid that they'd never expect it? Like ...
#6. The U.S. Army Distracts the Japanese With a Kickass Air Show
Jupiterimages/Photos.com/Getty Images
Finding yourself in enemy territory as a war is winding down is like finding yourself at your ex-wife's father's house after you screwed his other daughter. And his wife. And mom. Nothing good is going to happen while you're there.
Jupiterimages/Photos.com/Getty Images
... nothing but an extra memorable Thanksgiving.
Which is why, during the last year of World War II, the Allies knew their chances of rescuing POWs held in Japanese internment camps in the Philippines were zero, give or take. For one thing, the Japanese already had a track record of seeing surrendered enemies as subhuman and had no problem executing them on a whim. Any attempted rescue could mean freeing a bunch of corpses. They needed a plan. A ridiculous one.
The Cartoonish Plan:
How do you penetrate a camp surrounded by an open field without being seen? The answer is by creating a distraction in the air and hoping that the guards look to the sky long enough for you to belly crawl your way into the camp. In the absence of a Pink Floyd laser show, they figured some sick airplane maneuvers just might do the trick.
Jupiterimages/Photos.com/Getty Images
Tragically, "Danger Zone" wouldn't be written for another 41 years.
On January 30, 1945, Captain Kenneth Schrieber and First Lieutenant Bonnie Rucks flew their P-61 into what was quite possibly the most moronic mission they had ever attempted. Flying in low, they backfired their aircraft several times while performing aerobatic maneuvers. They continued doing this for 20 minutes, and every Japanese guard watched, waiting for Schrieber and Rucks to crash.
Basically, it was the monster truck rally of the Pacific Theater.
While that was going on, several hundred U.S. soldiers and Filipino guerrillas sneaked up to the camp walls, completely unopposed and unhindered. When the order finally came to unleash hell, every single Japanese tower and pillbox was obliterated in less than 15 seconds. The Americans quickly liberated the camp and the 500 POWs located there. All because somewhere along the line, someone figured that the Japanese guards would be just as impressed by rolling airplanes as the rest of us.
#5. Hungarians Fight Soviet Tanks With Soap and Jelly
Visage/Stockbyte/Getty Images
In 1956, living in Soviet-occupied Hungary was like living in a steaming pile of fresh dog poo. Ever since the commies took over, disposable income was slashed by 90 percent, food was running out, formerly free people were working as slaves on collective farms, and everything was a mess by any reasonable person's standards. Except, of course, the guys in charge. They probably thought everything was going great.
Hungarians disagreed. After 10 years of occupation, rebels gathered by the thousands to send the government a ballsy message. If Moscow wondered what their literally hungry Hungarians thought of them, they didn't need to look further than this Hungarian flag with the Communist coat of arms ripped out.
The American Hungarian Federation, Via Wikipedia
That sure is one defiant poncho.
And their rebellion worked -- for 10 days. In a surprise move that shocked no one but the rebels themselves, the Soviet Union rolled tanks into Budapest and squashed the revolt to a bloody pulp. But that didn't stop the Hungarians from coming up with some pretty innovative battle techniques before the whole thing was over.
The Cartoonish Plan:
In the absence of real weapons, the revolutionaries were forced to improvise their defense with whatever goods were laying around the house at the time. And what they had available was cooking oil, soap, jam, and soft fabric.
"Did I grab the wrong list? I thought I wrote down 'grenades.'"
Once the tanks started rolling into Budapest, they noticed something a little weird about the streets -- specifically, that they were on the slippery side. That's because the rebels had covered the roads in cooking oil and soap so the tanks couldn't get traction. At one point the tank drivers found themselves trying to drive over piles of silk that had been strewn across the streets. Have you ever tried to drive on silk? It's not only impossible, but kind of fabulous. Even more embarrassing, while the tanks were stuck on the world's most aggressive Slip 'n' Slide, kids would smear their windows with jelly.
Sadly, no amount of Smucker's was going to stop the Soviet machine from pouring into Hungary, and the rebellion was crushed. But at some point, maybe only briefly, a bunch of kids stopped 70-ton rolling death machines in their tracks using nothing but items you can find in your kitchen right now.
"Watch out! Snacks, 3 o'clock!"
#4. The U.S. Army Is Defeated by a Cross-Dressing Enemy
Jupiterimages/Pixland/Getty Images
Five minutes in a history class will teach you that America wasn't always the good guy in every story. Case in point: Thanks to the Spanish-American War and a little something known as imperialism, the U.S. found itself in possession of the Philippines in 1898, which is a whole other story for a whole other day. And as usual, the occupied country wasn't having it and rebelled. Thus the Spanish-American War segued nicely into the Philippine-American War and American troops ended up holding the Filipino town of Balangiga. Not "holding" like hugging, but "holding" like "starving out" and "offending locals" in as many ways as they could manage.
Visage/Stockbyte/Getty Images
There's not a lot of hugging in imperial occupation, sadly.
The townspeople wanted the Americans out, but the Americans had something they didn't: guns. All the rebels had going for them was a little more manpower, alcohol, and Filipino ingenuity.
The Cartoonish Plan:
Get the Americans drunk and sneak more rebels into the town by dressing them up as women. And yes, it worked.
Making it the first war to ever call for "Yakety Sax" in the documentary soundtrack.
The whole scheme was actually more complicated and less Bugs Bunnyish than that, but not by much. The rebels wanted to attack the American base, but they didn't want their women and children put in jeopardy, so the non-fighters were sent away to safety the night before the raid. But a village suddenly devoid of women might look suspicious, like a night without stars or a Lady Gaga without hilarious joke clothes. So the rebels not only threw on some dresses, but put together a fake funeral procession. Inside the coffins were -- you guessed it -- more dresses! Just kidding, it was knives.
Presumably carried by guys arguing over which badass one-liner rhymes best with "pall bearer."
Imagine this scene from the perspective of the American soldiers: Thanks to local generosity and the occasion of the town's anniversary, you've been plied with ample alcohol for the night. Drunk as shit, you spot the unprettiest women you've ever seen in your life making their way into the chapel. And they're carrying either oddly shaped suitcases or tiny coffins. Do you investigate? One American dared to disrupt the procession, opening a coffin with his bayonet. To his horror, there was the body of a dead child in it. So he presumably apologized profusely and cried a little bit at what he'd become. Little did he know there were weapons in the other coffins.
By six the next morning, the guerrillas and locals were stationed in hidden spots around the barracks while the Americans were nursing hangovers and dragging themselves to the mess hall, completely unaware that they were about to get got. One fighter seized an American rifle and rang the church bell to signal the attack. American soldiers were confused to see all of the women strip down and reveal that -- surprise! -- they were armed soldiers all along. The next few hours were an unequivocal bloodbath. Of the 74 members of Company C, all but a dozen were killed or wounded in the surprise attack, plus the rebels got all their guns and ammo.
We'd tell you how the U.S. responded to the raid, but this isn't a list of straight up crimes against humanity, so we won't.

The 5 Most Baffling Tactics in the War on Terror
The War on Terror has been underway for over a decade now, and we aren't likely to see the end of it anytime soon. In our desperation to get any kind of firm foothold in the conflict, we have gone to some extreme measures, ranging from ominous legislation (the Patriot Act) to the baffling indulgence of gibbering lunacy (deploying anti-terrorist dolphins, and also the Patriot Act). What follows are some of the most shining examples of that second type.
#5. Hiring Science Fiction Writers as Consultants
After the 9/11 attacks were deemed a "failure of imagination" on the part of government officials (because evidently gaping holes in transportation security are the same thing as not believing in fairies), the Department of Homeland Security began looking for ways to better anticipate mass-murdering craziness. So, they hired a team of science fiction writers to act as a predictive think-tank for future acts of destruction, because who else better knows the inner workings of the Jihadist mind?
Get ready for some peace, baby!
The group, called Sigma, is comprised of some of the most intelligent and established names in the modern science fiction community, including Greg Bear (author of three books about the video game Halo), Arlan Andrews (author of two self-published Kindle books on Amazon.com), and Jerry Pournelle (author of the novelization of Escape from the Planet of the Apes). Each of these literary powerhouses is required to have at least one doctorate-level degree in order to be a member of Sigma, because otherwise their appointment as top-level government consultants would seem ridiculous and stupid.
Basically, Sigma's job was to dream up possible future technology that could be used against the United States in another terrorist attack, because apparently a group of fundamentalist lunatics living a brutal existence in hollow mountain caves on the far side of the world might suddenly figure out how to build cybernetic assassins. Some of the invaluable suggestions Sigma provided included mind-reading helmets for bomb sniffing dogs (though not mind-reading helmets for humans, like the president, because that would be absurd), clothing that turns into armor when struck by bullets, and satellites that beam in solar energy from space.
"Now, does the helmet let the dog read my mind? Or vice versa? Because we're getting a sitcom out of that either way."
Note: If this project does eventually result in the invention of any of the above, we will publicly apologize for making fun of it.
#4. Creating Bomb-Sniffing Plants
"Bomb-sniffing plants" is one of those phrases that looks like a typo, but you can't figure out what it was supposed to be saying ("Pants? Pants that sniff bombs? Paints?"). But yes, plants that can detect bombs are on the verge of becoming a thing. Researchers at the University of Colorado have begun engineering plants to react to traces of TNT in the air around them, resulting in bomb-sniffing plants that could be implemented in security checkpoints in the near future. They'll provide a relaxing atmosphere while you wait in line at the baggage scanner, but if they suddenly change color, fucking run.
"This one has escaped! Everyone into the shelter!"
By modifying the genetic makeup of the plants, the researchers were able to change their existing defense mechanisms to react to specific substances, such as explosive compounds. When the plants are exposed to minute traces of the target substance, they drain the chlorophyll from their leaves, turning them from their natural green hue to the spongy whiteness of a corpse. This would alert TSA agents that the passenger in question is either carrying a bomb or is a hideous, realm-striding necromancer. The plants are so accurate they can "smell" traces normally too slight even for dogs to detect.
"... Uh, it's either a cake or hand grenades. Don't you guys have X-rays?"
The plants are not currently being used on a wide scale, as it still takes several minutes for the bomb-locating color change to occur and it would be difficult to convince already weary passengers to stand around for another quarter-hour while airport security officers stare expectantly at a potted fern for further instructions. However, commercial application is expected to be underway within a few years. We eagerly await our first round of hilarious false-positives.
#3. Combing Nursery Schools for Burgeoning Extremists
As both terrorist organizations and Disney market researchers have long since discovered, fanaticism is bred from an early age. Adults don't just suddenly wake up one day hopelessly devoted to something.
It takes years of constant exposure, best introduced during the impressionable years of childhood, to create a true disciple unshakeable in both loyalty and belief and utterly rage-blind to any conflicting viewpoints. So, in an effort to curb that early recruiting process, authorities in the U.K. have created a special unit to investigate kindergartens as a potential breeding ground for young terrorists, because the sudden and unpredictable nature of catastrophically violent attacks delivered by a nebulous decentralized enemy tends to set people grasping at straws.
"I am a soldier of the one true God, and I will burn this world around you."
Counterterrorism agents from the Institute of Race Relations began canvassing local preschools to search for any red flags that would suggest that the children were being "radicalized" with anti-Western rhetoric. Their lists of "warning signs" include artwork depicting bombs, guns, and burning buildings - which, as you may notice, describes every single volume of Calvin and Hobbes, as well as the notebook of every little boy in the history of the world -- as well as expressing a favorable opinion of an Islamic state.
The Institute argues that indicators like these could be evidence that a child is being indoctrinated into a vicious terrorist cell. Additionally (and probably more effectively), the interrogation of very young children could be useful in uncovering criminal activity, because toddlers are notoriously candid with their speech and will happily tell you whether Mommy or Daddy or Uncle Desert Spider has been sleeping in the basement and building a big clock made out of candles. And if you're going to harass 4- and 5-year-olds, you might as well Jack Bauer every last thing you can out of them.
"And what should our hero use to blow up the church, Suzie? C4? Ammonium nitrate?"

Two Oceans Marathon 2012 results: Stephen Muzhingi wins again
Thousands of people braved the rain in Cape Town to watch Stephen Muzhingi of Zimbabwe win the 2012 Old Mutual Two Oceans Marathon in a time of 3:08. This was Muzhingi's second title and many now predict that he will also win the Comrades Marathon in a few months.
Elena Nurgalieva of Russia was the first woman home, claiming her fourth Old Mutual Two Oceans Marathon title. Her twin sister, Oleysa, did not compete this year, but second place was still claimed by a Russian, in the form of Natalia Volgina.
The 21-kilometre half-marathon was won by South African Xolisa Tyali, in a time of 1:04. The women's event was won by Rene Kalmer, who is also the only South African woman to have qualified to run the marathon at the Olympics this year.
A record 25 000 runners took part in this year's Old Mutual Two Oceans Marathon, with some 16 000 of those running the half-marathon. Runners from 78 different countries entered the race, confirming the international interest in the Old Mutual Two Oceans Marathon, often referred to as "the world's most beautiful marathon."
Many athletes said they thoroughly enjoyed taking part in the race, despite the weather. "If anyone ever considered doing the Two Oceans half marathon in Cape Town: do it! It's a stunning race, even in the rain!" Anita Kessels said on Twitter.
The 56-kilometre ultra-marathon starts and finishes in Cape Town's southern suburbs, ending at the prestigious University of Cape Town grounds.
Some of the landmarks runners rave about along the route include coastal villages such as Muizenberg, Kalk Bay and Fish Hoek; the spectacular Chapman's Peak Drive, Hout Bay, Constantia Nek and the final stretch past the Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden.

J.D.S is a furry college student who goes by the name Aoki, Aokineko, or Aokichan. Born in 1988, he lives at home in Papillion, Nebraska, and was originally born in Orissa, India.
Life as a furry[edit]
Aoki is a blue bengal tiger living in Omaha, NE. He's a skilled artist capable of anything from cartoons to realism. In 2003 he joined the fandom via an online Oekaki drawing board, where he then discovered VCL and Deviant Art, the popular furry art site Furaffinity followed later in 2006.
He is part of a local furry group in Omaha called Furbraska where he met such persons as Snap E. Tiger who was featured on Animal Imitators in August of 2003, and later again in Weird, True and Freaky on Animal Planet in 2008 along with Stalking Cat. His fursona originally started out as a blue domesticated house cat but in 2005 that all changed when he discovered his love for tigers in a small novelty shop in a mall. Since then the tiger has been his fursona and his favorite animal.
Aoki does not own a fursuit but hopes to in the future. Like many furs money is the only hold back. Alternatively he subtly displays his fursona in wearing articles of blue. In 2011, Aoki moved to So-Cal and attended the Prancing Skiltaire and Griffin Park meets. He also attended the 2012 Fur-b-que. Late 2012 he relocated back to Omaha, NE. January 2013, Aoki attended Further Confusion. Since then he as continued to be involved with Nebraska Furries and Furbraska. furry lifestyle.
Aoki enjoys sketching, digital painting, cosplay, singing, swimming, hookah, collecting movie and video game soundtracks, and highly detailed figurines. He likes watching the occasional anime, and films in general. He also enjoys the Star Wars|Star Wars fandom, and some aspects of anime fandom. As of 2011 he has taken an interest in the My Little Pony Friendship is Magic community known as Bronies.
Aoki's fursona is a Blue Bengal Tiger. A couple of distinct markings he possesses are a small dot in the middle of his forehead and under his lower left eye.
In the past Aoki started as a blue furred golden eyed domesticated house cat. It was not until a year ago after purchasing a tiger statue in a mall that he embraced his true fursona as a blue tiger. Falling in love with them, he had no doubts as to what his fursona form was.

Not original. All of them look the same. Always with a ribbon in her hair. Most of Lourdes girls come from Epiphany. Usually a bitch and thinks she is all that. Talks with Cuban accent which is very irritating. When they see a guy they get soo nervous that they end up making an ass of themselves. Always traveling in a pact. Usually not the smartest out there.
Who are those group of girls all matching, talk the same, and act if they never see guys before? O wait I know, they are Lourdes girls.

Where is the application of Calculus (of continuous quantities) in Computer Science or programming [closed]
closed as too broad by gnat, Ixrec, durron597, Snowman, MichaelT Oct 11 '15 at 3:08
There are either too many possible answers, or good answers would be too long for this format. Please add details to narrow the answer set or to isolate an issue that can be answered in a few paragraphs.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Calculus can be used to solve recursion complexity calculations.
Also both calculus and other forms of maths are used in various applied computer science.
It depends. Are you going to just be told what to program, or are you going to know much about the content area?
I've worked for years in graphics UIs and mathematical modeling, specifically pharmacometrics and biostatistics. I need to understand ordinary differential equations, frequentist and bayesian statistics, pharmacological modeling, and optimization algorithms. Every so often I need to solve calculus problems that nobody has figured out before, or if they did, they didn't publish it, or if they published it, they only did easy cases. I have to handle the hard cases as well.
All this is in a field where mistakes can be very costly, so it's important to be able to make air-tight justifications. Programming is fine, but it's only part of the story.
Computer science usually deals with finite things. However there are cases where you use real functions and apply analytic methods, sometimes including infinitesimal calculus. One is when you need to express relations for problems of arbitrary size and granularity. This often happens in information theory e.g. in Shannon capacity or information entropy. Another sometimes occurs when calculating upper or lower bounds. Many quantities in graph theory are complex sums, that cannot be directly calculated, but can be limited by real functions or integrals. And even basic stuff like asymptotic behaviour is defined in terms of limits, so you need at least the basic concepts.
As practitioner, you probably won't need to do those calculations, but understanding the concepts makes it easier to reason about choice of algorithms and practical limits you are to encounter, especially when you get to something that involves correction codes, compression or just some complex graph algorithm. Or statistics, which also uses analysis a lot.
Also it's difficult to teach just part of mathematics without ever touching infinitesimal calculus, which includes the mathematics mainly used in computer science (graph theory, linear programming, optimization etc.)
There are a few areas where calculus is needed, more specifically differential equations.
Every car company has to test its models to see how it behaves in crash situations. They do this by placing a multitude of sensors all over the car and crashing it. The information received from those sensors needs to be interpreted and analyzed.
If you ever write software that does this, then you'll be dealing a lot with differential equations. The angles at which each part of the car is bent from the crash are passed through these equations to get the values of the forces involved. The deceleration values must also be computed using such equations. I don't know too much about this, though...
This is only one of the applications of calculus in computer programming. Maybe someone knows other scenarios.
Programmers have always complained that various areas of mathematics don't ever apply in their work (and therefore there's no reason to learn it). This is mostly true, but sometimes you do need to know such concepts to get the job done. For example, vector spaces knowledge (from linear algebra) can be of tremendous help when making 3D rendering engines (for games, for example).
For this topic, I highly recommend the following book: Concrete Mathematics by Ronald L. Graham, Donald E. Knuth, and Oren Patashnik. It is about CONtinuous and disCRETE mathematics, and how they are applied in computer science. Topics include stuff like sums, recurrences, binomial coefficients, number theory, discrete probability, among others. I reference my copy all the time.
I used a lot of calculus for creating continuous interpolations. For example, I use this in fractal animation software, where smooth transitions are desired. Furthermore, everything that has to do with continuous motion, like a game with a bouncing ball, etc. or acceleration sort of becomes easier with calculus. Thirdly, a lot of the stuff mentioned above can be simplified/optimized if one has a basic understanding of trigonometric functions.
Computer Science and Calculus have nothing to do with each other, besides the somewhat incorrect assumption by academics that practicing programmers will require higher math. I say "somewhat incorrect", because whether you will or won't will depend entirely on what your "problem domain" will be. If you're writing "business logic", like many programmers, you'll probably never use any math higher than basic arithmetic. If you're writing molecular-modeling, like a physical- or chemical-scientist, you'll use it every day.
I have to say that in over 30 years of programming for a living, writing operating system, systems management, web server, and other complex programs, I've only ever needed higher math once, and only because I didn't know where to find the already-published algorithm that required only arithmetic.
Calculus is useful for looking at changes in physical quantities so is mainly useful in the physical sciences. Programming mostly only deals with calculus when the problem domain requires it.
But of course there is also the meta-problem of algorithms for good numerical approximations of integrals or differential equations e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_integration and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runge%E2%80%93Kutta_methods which are certainly computer science orientated.
I've not used calculus in programming since university (which was to implement integration by simpson's rule in FORTRAN)
A developer needs calculus to the extent it is important to the problem domain. The developers of Twitter don't need any calculus. Developers at Boeing or Airbus need a good understanding of calculus.
I work in the Aerospace industry on spacecraft (mostly satellites) modeling and simulation software. Most recently, I was was responsible for developing a simulation model for a satellite's attitude determination and control system.
Yes, I had to use a lot of math, mostly linear algebra and calculus. While many of the physics calculations my software had to perform were well known, and the scientists and systems folks basically handed me documentation (or sometimes, their matlab scripts) for most of them, being able to convert math formulas into code is easier if you understand what the formulas are doing :)
Also, tracking down bugs and finding the occasional error in the equations I was handed would have been nigh on impossible if I had absolutely no math background.
I'm brushing up on my calculus because of the problems I've been encountering in the field in which I wish to become expert in: ANN's - artificial neural nets, and signal processing, which are a mixture of programming and physical systems, the physical being the relationship between the neurons, and what kind of neurons you wish to develop and what kind of network you wish to build, what you want it to do. Calculus is not handy for ANN's - it's essential.
So I suppose to answer when do you need higher math for programming I imagine the answer depends upon what problems you wish to tackle in real life. Also I imagine game programmers modelling real life would need higher math as well.

I don't have a service in my run level that starts the login prompt, so I was wondering what does.
By 'login shell' you mean the login prompt you get when you hook your server up to a keyboard and monitor? And the same login shells on the other virtual terminals accessed with CtrlAltF2 and so on?
On RHEL 4 and 5, they are started in
On RHEL 6, they are started in
Edit: init is the first process started by our OS, it is what spawns all of your services. It has a PID of 1. When it starts it reads /etc/inittab and if you look at the lines that say reference rc with some number, that is what is starting your services at your desired run level. It likewise makes sure mingetty is running at your desired levels on your desired devices. You can read more on the the init section of wikipedia's article on how linux boots and this article on from power to bash.

I have a few Privoxy rules, that can redirect HTTP Wikipedia [en,de] traffic to HTTPS: (a little part from the "user.action" file)
{ +redirect{s@http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/@https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/@} }
{ +redirect{s@http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/@https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/de/wiki/@} }
So you get the problem: is there any way to put a "regexp" or something to: "en", "de"? There are hundreds of other languages, i think it's a bad solution to write down them all.<
There is another question: is my solution good so far? I'm asking that because if i visit https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/File:Nokota_Horses_cropped.jpg that's ok, it's using HTTPS. BUT if i click on the picture: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/de/Nokota_Horses_cropped.jpg it's using HTTP! So this is not good. Are the pictures on a HTTP-only server, or i can write another redirect rule to view the pictures in HTTPS?

Market Profile: A Best Practice in Trading
Market Profile is a tool for organizing time and price data, graphically representing how volume builds at various prices over time. When we see most trades occurring within a relatively narrow range of prices, we know that the market is in balance. Price will probe the edges of this balance area--called the value area--as markets constantly update their estimates of value. If prices higher or lower than value cannot facilitate trade (i.e., if higher prices don't attract buyers or lower prices don't attract sellers), we will tend to trade back into the value area. If these probes to the edges of the value region do facilitate expanded trade, we will break free of the value area in a trending move. That trend will continue until sufficient sellers or buyers perceive value in the new prices and take the other side of the trade, beginning the process of forming a new region of balance.
My specific best practice is to be aware of value areas at one level larger than the timeframe you are trading. Very often, a breakout at a shorter time frame occurs within the context of a longer-term market bracket. Knowing where value is located on the longer timeframe helps you identify price targets for the shorter-term move.
An excellent resource for understanding the dynamics of Market Profile at multiple timeframes is the new book Markets in Profile: Profiting from the Auction Process by James Dalton, Robert Dalton, and Eric Jones. It is not a lengthy book, but it is packed with trading principles and clear examples of how the Market Profile is relevant at various timeframes: from the daytrader to the longer-term investor. Dalton and colleagues explain how markets transition from brackets to trends and, more importantly, they help traders understand why. One of my favorite features is the graphics that help you see balance areas on bar charts. It enables you to see the market in profile even if you're not looking at a Market Profile.
If you are just getting started in the area of Market Profile, the authors' earlier book, Mind Over Markets, is a classic and a great introduction to understanding market auctions. You can also find excellent reading resources on Market Profile on the WINdoTRADEr website. WINdoTRADEr is a charting application that enables traders to see Market Profiles at different time frames simultaneously; the firm also offers hands-on training in the use of Market Profile and the software. It's a brilliantly designed piece of software (which, by the way, has benefited from input from Jim Dalton).
What makes Market Profile a best practice in my book is that it provides new and experienced traders with a way of thinking about market action and framing their trade ideas. If I were running a training program for traders, Market Profile would be a mandatory part of the curriculum. It's important to know, not just *what* to do, but *why* to do it.

Hi Brett
You hit the nail on the head - when you said you would make Market Profile mandatory if you were running a training course for traders.
I have resolved for 2007 to start reading up on Market Profile now that I am using MarketDelta which essentially is an offshoot of Market Profile to my mind.
You are absolutely right that it is suitable for both new and experienced traders, as I feel the need to know even though I am a novice trader.
BTW hope you take lots of VitC for your cold! Seems to be pandemic!
- Brett Steenbarger, Ph.D. said...
Hi Yin,
Yes, I agree: the Market Delta and Market Profile frameworks are complementary and can be integrated nicely to develop trade ideas. Thanks for the observation--
- Yaser Anwar, CSC (Trader- Equities & FX | Quoted 7 Times In WSJ, Twice in NYT & FT) said...
Can you make any recommendations, books/courses whatever, that can teach one more about the volume?
I know trading is the best method, but given my school timings, I don't always get to trade. Over the past few weeks your volume analysis/dissection techniques have been extremely educating.
many thanks.
- Brett Steenbarger, Ph.D. said...
Hi Yaser,
I do think that the Dalton book, Mind Over Markets, is an excellent starting book for understanding volume and the market auction process. His new book, Markets in Profile, builds on the first one, giving illustrations at different time frames. Those are the books I'd recommend to a new trader re: understanding how volume is distributed. Thanks--
- Brandon Wilhite said...
Dr. Brett,
I'm hoping you can answer my simple question for me...I looked at Market Profile for at least an hour last night and didn't find it...I'm hoping you'll help me out so I don't have to waste 2-3 more hours tracking down the answer :)
Does Market Profile require volume information? It seems that it does. I trade retail spot forex, so if it requires volume, I'm not sure how helpful it might be to me unless I looked at the futures. Even then I'm not certain.
- Brett Steenbarger, Ph.D. said...
Hi Brandon,
Market Profile is licensed by the Chicago Board of Trade, so has to be purchased as an add-on through data vendors such as e-Signal. Because it is organizing price and time data and making inferences about volume from the accumulation of TPOs (time-price opportunities), it does not require volume and could be used with spot forex. There are implementations of Market Profile that add volume as an explicit consideration (WINdoTRADEr is one) and there I do think the currency futures are worth looking at. Market Delta has a Market Profile-like feature that shows cumulative volume at prices on the Y Axis over varying lookback periods, and again currency futures are worth tracking in that regard. Hope that's helpful; thanks for the question--

Can see datePicker component, it's covered by soft keyboard.
android 4.1 build-in browser
1. Set the focus on a form textbox, system will show the soft keyboard.
2. Click the datepickerfield component.
Expected Result:
Soft keyboard should be closed, and pop-up a datePicker bar on the bottom.
Actual Result:
Soft keyboard NOT be closed, and can not see the datePicker bar that is under the soft keyboard.
23 Oct 2012 6:16 PM #2
You can find that the datepicker bar is covered by the soft keyboard in attached image.
I try call textbox.blur() method to let the textbox lost the focus in datepickerfield's mousedown event, but after that, the form will reset the focus to textbox. How can I solve it? thanks

Fixed by codes:
focusedElement = this.getAppointmentDetail().getFocusedField(); console.log(focusedElement); if (focusedElement) { if (Ext.os.version.lt('4')) { focusedElement.style.display = 'none'; } else { focusedElement.blur(); } }

This has been fixed in 2.1.0. What we do is if it's Android 4 we focus and then blur on the disabled <input. of the date picker and select field.
onFocus: function(e) { var component = this.getComponent(); this.fireEvent('focus', this, e); if (Ext.os.is.Android4) { component.input.dom.focus(); } component.input.dom.blur(); if (this.getReadOnly()) { return false; } this.isFocused = true; this.getPicker().show(); }Mitchell Simoens @LikelyMitch

The tie was better than expected. I loved the fact that I could tie it so that it was one solid color-green or red, or make it green on one side and red on the other, or make it red on the wings and green in the middle, or the opposite. It is actually several ties in one. I highly recommend it.

This red & green tie is the 6th or so I've purchased from BTLoV, and it is as great as all the rest. It makes a particularly fitting Christmas-season accessory, though you can wear it at other times, too. It looks great, the fabric is very nice, it's a quality product all around, as usual.

It is beautiful and (as always) outstanding quality. We have ordered ties for my Dad for some years and have never had a negative experience. We went out to dinner for Thanksgiving and he wore his Beau Ties Ltd "Turkey Tie". Multiple other patrons came up to comment on his tie and compliment him on it. Wonderful company to work with.

It never fails. Whenever I wear a Beau Tie, I always get a compliment and Fiedler/Toscanini is no exception. Tie it on as red with a little hint of green, or green with little hint of red. It's a great way to give my holiday outfit just the right amount of style. Thanks Beau Ties!

This is a great tie to wear for Christmas. I wear bows everyday and this two color tie gives me more options. Good for church, work, theater or party.

This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question.
In general, the equation $x \log(x) = a$ cannot be solved for $x$ in closed form in terms of elementary functions. "Elementary functions" refers to the functions formed via the composition of the basic arithmetic operations +, -, *, /, the exponential and logarithm functions, and the trigonometric functions (though the inclusion of these last functions is redundant if one uses complex numbers, due to Euler's formula.), with the composition being finite.
Usually, elementary solutions are considered the best, though, as this shows, they are in many cases not possible. (There are analogies of this in other areas of mathematics -- e.g. in Euclidean geometry, constructions relying only on compass and straightedge are considered the best. Again, there are many cases in which such construction is not possible.) This is because elementary functions are simple and have numerous useful properties.
That being said, if one is willing to venture outside the realm of elementary functions, one can solve this equation. One commonly used non-elementary, but still simple to describe, function is the Lambert W function, defined as the inverse of $f(x) = xe^x$. Note this is similar to a logarithm function, but not quite the same. Such an inverse is not a proper function, since $f(x) = xe^x$ is not injective, however, we usually define a "principal branch" similar to, say, square root, by inverting on the interval $[-1, \infty)$. The Lambert W-function is denoted $W(x)$. To use it to solve your equation, make the substitution $x = e^u$. EDIT: In fact, this can be used as a proof that there is no elementary solution, because this shows that if you can solve the equation, you can express the Lambert W function in terms of its solution, but we know that one is not elementary. (The proof of that is much harder, however.)
However, if your $\log$ is base-10, then there is an elementary solution, namely $n = 10^6$! The form of the right-hand side makes me wonder whether a base-10 log was meant.
If you can't solve it by inspection, it is unlikely there is a "nice" solution. In that case you can use the fact that $\log n \ll n$ and varies slowly. So in this problem, you can write it as $n=\frac {6 \cdot 10^6}{\log n}$ Then for a first guess use $n=6 \cdot 10^6$, take the log to get $6.778$, plug that in and evaluate $n$, iterating until it converges.
For this kind of problem, with a specific number given, an iteration formula is best. What matters most is that n appear once in a direct way (the factor n) and once in a slowly-varying way (the logarithm).
(I'll take the log to be natural base.)
Since log(n) varies slowly, and is "small" relative to n, we'll take it to be "constant" and set it to 1 just for a moment. Then n = the given number, 6E6. Obviously wrong; log(6E6) (using base e) is about 15. Okay, take n to be 6E6/15.607 and plug that into the logarithm to get a "better" number than 15.607. Repeat...
This converges quickly to n=460147.3...
If you need some sort of analytic formula, exp() both sides and maybe the Lambert W function or something similar will be helpful. There won't be any solution in terms of common everyday arithmetic and familiar functions.

Does anyone know to how to install Oracle 11g on Ubuntu 11.10?

AskUbuntu.com has this question: How to install Oracle 11g?.
Oracle Database 11g and Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot has some good information.
Here are some obligatory links to the relevant 11g pdf documentation.
Oracle tends to be finicky about requiring specific versions of system libraries. Linux is generally fairly amenable to installing these without breaking the existing libraries, so this is normally fairly straightforward to overcome. Many of the HOWTO documents explain how to obtain and install these libraries.
I've certainly had Oracle running on unsupported platforms (Fedora, Debian for example), and once the correct libraries are present you can just use the standard installer.
This link is to an OTN article that describes the libraries required to install Oracle 11gR2 on Ubuntu.
Try with this tutorial, and good luck Installing java, oracle 11g r2 express edition and sql developer
