Calculus first appeared in Red Rackham's Treasure (more specifically in the newspaper prepublication of 4–5 March 1943 [2]), and was the result of Hergé's long quest to find the archetypal mad scientist or absent-minded professor. Although Hergé had included characters with similar traits in earlier stories, Calculus developed into a much ...
"Doc" Emmett Brown from Back to the Future is an example of an absent-minded scientist-inventor character. He is depicted as strange, eccentric, or insane. Another example is the title character in the film The Absent-Minded Professor and its less successful film remakes, all based on the short story "A Situation of Gravity" by Samuel W. Taylor.
The conic of eccentricity 0 in this figure is an infinitesimal circle centered at the focus, and the conic of eccentricity ∞ is an infinitesimally separated pair of lines. A circle of finite radius has an infinitely distant directrix, while a pair of lines of finite separation have an infinitely distant focus.
However, a vegan diet does require supplementation of vitamin B 12, [359] and vitamin B 12 deficiency occurs in up to 80% of vegans that do not supplement their diet. [362] Consuming no animal products increases the risk of deficiencies of vitamins B 12 and D , calcium , iron , omega-3 fatty acids , [ 363 ] and sometimes iodine . [ 364 ]
Seth Brundle – eccentric but brilliant physicist who invented the telepods, machines capable of teleportation; Sebastian Caine; Dr. Miles Bennett Dyson (Terminator 2: Judgment Day) – when he learns of the destructive destiny of his future creation, Dyson destroys his research
Kepler's solution is to use =, x as seen from the centre, the eccentric anomaly as an intermediate variable, and first compute E as a function of M by solving Kepler's equation below, and then compute the true anomaly θ from the eccentric anomaly E. Here are the details.
He proposed Hall's conjecture on the differences between perfect squares and perfect cubes, which remains an open problem as of 2015. Hall's work [6] on continued fractions showed that the Lagrange spectrum includes all numbers greater than 6. This interval is known as Hall's Ray. The lower limit of Hall's ray was established by Freiman in 1975.
