    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. Mathematical anxiety - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_anxiety

    Mark H. Ashcraft defines math anxiety as "a feeling of tension, apprehension, or fear that interferes with math performance" (2002, p. 1). [2] It is a phenomenon that is often considered when examining students' problems in mathematics.

  4. 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.

    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. Release is the time taken for the level to decay to nil. [3] While attack, decay, and release refer to time, sustain refers to ...

    Topics introduced in the New Math include set theory, modular arithmetic, algebraic inequalities, bases other than 10, matrices, symbolic logic, Boolean algebra, and abstract algebra. [2] All of the New Math projects emphasized some form of discovery learning. [3] Students worked in groups to invent theories about problems posed in the textbooks.

    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. Timing attack - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timing_attack

    In cryptography, a timing attack is a side-channel attack in which the attacker attempts to compromise a cryptosystem by analyzing the time taken to execute cryptographic algorithms. Every logical operation in a computer takes time to execute, and the time can differ based on the input; with precise measurements of the time for each operation ...

    Comparison of the birthday problem (1) and birthday attack (2): In (1), collisions are found within one set, in this case, 3 out of 276 pairings of the 24 lunar astronauts. In (2), collisions are found between two sets, in this case, 1 out of 256 pairings of only the first bytes of SHA-256 hashes of 16 variants each of benign and harmful contracts.
