  2. Jason Padgett - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Padgett

    According to the New York Post, "Padgett is one of only 40 people in the world with “acquired savant syndrome,” a condition in which prodigious talents in math, art or music emerge in previously normal individuals following a brain injury or disease." [3] Padgett continued drawing and returned to school where he met his now wife, Elena Padgett.

  3. Birthday attack - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birthday_attack

    A birthday attack is a bruteforce collision attack that exploits the mathematics behind the birthday problem in probability theory. This attack can be used to abuse communication between two or more parties. The attack depends on the higher likelihood of collisions found between random attack attempts and a fixed degree of permutations ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sterling_Hall_bombing

    Sterling Hall historical marker. Sterling Hall is a centrally located building on the University of Wisconsin–Madison campus. The bomb, set off at 3:42 am on August 24, 1970, was intended to destroy the Army Mathematics Research Center (AMRC) housed on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th floors of the building.

  5. Envelope (music) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Envelope_(music)

    The most common kind of envelope generator has four stages: attack, decay, sustain, and release (ADSR). [2] Attack is the time taken for the rise of the level from nil to peak. Decay is the time taken for the level to reduce from the attack level to the sustain level. Sustain is the level maintained until the key is released.

  6. Birthday problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birthday_problem

    The birthday problem in this more generic sense applies to hash functions: the expected number of N-bit hashes that can be generated before getting a collision is not 2 N, but rather only 2 N ⁄ 2. This is exploited by birthday attacks on cryptographic hash functions and is the reason why a small number of collisions in a hash table are, for ...

  7. Theodore Streleski - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theodore_Streleski

    Theodore Landon "Ted" Streleski (1936) was an American former graduate student in mathematics at Stanford University who murdered his former faculty advisor, Professor Karel de Leeuw, with a ball-peen hammer on August 18, 1978.

  8. Computational complexity of mathematical operations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_complexity...

    Here, complexity refers to the time complexity of performing computations on a multitape Turing machine. [1] See big O notation for an explanation of the notation used. Note: Due to the variety of multiplication algorithms, M ( n ) {\displaystyle M(n)} below stands in for the complexity of the chosen multiplication algorithm.

  9. Time trial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_trial

    Time attack is a type of motorsport in which the racers compete for the best lap time. Each vehicle is timed through numerous circuits of the track. The racers make a preliminary circuit, then run the timed laps, and then finish with a cool-down lap. Time attack and time trial events differ by competition format and rules.
