polymath: Encyclopedia II - Philosophy of language - History

The inquiry into language stretches back to the beginnings of western philosophy with Plato, Aristotle, and the Stoics. Plato argued in the dialogue Cratylus that there was a natural correctness to names. To do this, he pointed out that compound words and phrases have a range of correctness. For example, it is obviously wrong to say that the term "houseboat" is any good when referring to, say, a cat, because cats have nothing to do with houses or boats. He also argued that primitive names (or morphemes) also had a natural corre ...

polymath: Encyclopedia II - Paul Erdős - Mathematical work

Erdős was one of the most prolific publishers of papers in mathematical history, second only to Leonhard Euler. He wrote around 1,500 mathematical articles in his lifetime, mostly with co-authors, all of them nontrivial. He had about 500 collaborators, and made mathematical collaboration a social activity in a way that changed the way many mathematicians worked. Of his contributions, the development of Ramsey theory and the application of the probabilistic method especially stand out. Extremal combinatorics owes to him a whole approach, derived in p ...

polymath: Encyclopedia II - Culture of Asia - Mythology and folklore

The story of Great Floods find reference in most of the regions of Asia, the earliest known reference being in the Epic of Gilgamesh. Most of the accounts and characters of such a deluge are comparable to Noah. Thus, the Hindu mythology tells about an avatar of God Vishnu in the form of a fish who warned Manu of a terrible flood. In ancient Chinese mythology Shan Hai Jing, the Chinese ruler Da Yu had to spend ten years to control a deluge which swept out most of the ancient China and was aided by the goddess Nuwa who literally "fixe ...

polymath: Encyclopedia II - Norwich - Travellers' comments

In 1507 the poet John Skelton (1460-1529) wrote of two destructive fires in his Lament for the City of Norwich. All life is brief, and frail all man's estate. City, farewell: I mourn thy cruel fate. Thomas Fuller in his The Worthies of England described the City in 1662 as - Either a city in an orchard or an orchard in a city, so equally are houses and trees blended in it, so that the pleasure of the country and the populousness of the city meet here together. Yet ...

polymath: Encyclopedia II - Norwich - Architecture

Norwich is considered to have a wealth of historical architecture. The medieval period is represented by the 11th-century cathedral, 12th-century castle (now a museum) and a large number of parish churches as well as a few houses and public buildings. Most of the medieval building is in the city centre. From the 18th century the pre-eminent local name is Thomas Ivory, who built the Assembly Rooms (1776), the Octagon Chapel (1756), St Helen's House (1752) in the grounds of the Great Hospital, and innovative speculative housing in Surrey Street (c. 1761). Ivory should not be confused with the Irish archit ...

polymath: Encyclopedia II - Culture of Asia - Architecture

Until contact with European influence, some cultures would build renewable buildings. For example, in Japan, the temples of Kyoto and Nara might be over 1,000 years old in style, but be completely rebuilt, in the same style, every few generations or so. The primary reason for this was that the materials might be wood and thatch rather than stone and tile. Other cultures might build from stone, but the jungles and forests ...

polymath: Encyclopedia II - Posidonius - Reputation and influence

In his own era, his writings on almost all the principal divisions of philosophy made Posidonius a renowned international figure throughout the Graeco-Roman world and he was widely cited by writers of his era, including Cicero, Livy, Plutarch, Strabo (who called Posidonius "the most learned of all philosophers of my time"), Cleomedes, Seneca the Younger, Diodorus Siculus (who used Posidonius as a source for his Bibliotheca historia ("Historical Library"), and others. Although his ornate and rhetorical style of writing passed out of fashion soon after his death, Posidonius was acclaimed dur ...

polymath: Encyclopedia II - Charles Peirce - Works

Peirce's reputation is based in large part on a number of academic papers published in American scholarly and scientific journals. These papers fill most of the eight volumes of the Collected Papers of Charles Sanders Peirce, published between 1931 and 1958. Perhaps the best introduction to Peirce's writings is the two volumes titled The Essential Peirce (Houser 1992, 1998). In Peirce's day, one made a name in philosophy by publishing monographs on the subject, which he never did. Nor did he ever lay out systematically h ...

polymath: Encyclopedia II - Charles Peirce - Reception

Bertrand Russell opined, "Beyond doubt … he was one of the most original minds of the later nineteenth century, and certainly the greatest American thinker ever." (Yet his Principia Mathematica fails to mention Peirce.) While reading some of Peirce's unpublished manuscripts soon after arriving at Harvard in 1924, Alfred North Whitehead was struck by the extent to which Peirce had anticipated his own "process" thinking. (On Peirce and process metaphysics, see the chapter by Lowe in Moore and Robin, 1964.) Karl Popper viewed Peirce as ...

polymath: Encyclopedia II - Charles Peirce - Life

Right from the beginning, the relations of America as New England with Europe were, from the philosophical point of view, ambiguous, when they were not simply difficult and, in the end, impossible. Peirce is in himself the ‘’resumé’’ of this story… from the rejection of European philosophical paradigms to the creation of new paradigms which are not only Peirce’s but America’s, and slowly but inevitably [those] of the global ...

polymath: Encyclopedia II - Body mass index - Concerns about BMI

Since BMI is merely a statistical estimate of adiposity, it is possible to have a BMI above 30, yet not be obese. A bodybuilder, for example, can have a BMI above 30 because of a high percentage of muscle mass. Health recommendations made to such an individual cannot be based on their BMI. Similarly, elder patients with very low muscle and bone mass may be clinically obese while scoring within optimum BMI ranges. Both extreme cases serve as a reminder that the BMI is not designed for use as a clinical diagnostic tool, but is rather an ...

polymath: Encyclopedia II - Cryptanalysis - Characterising attacks

Cryptanalytic attacks vary in potency and how much of a threat they pose to real-world cryptosystems. A certificational weakness is a theoretical attack that is unlikely to be applicable in any real-world situation; the majority of results found in modern cryptanalytic research are of this type. Essentially, the practical importance of an attack is dependent on the answers to the following three questions: What knowledge and capabilities are needed as a prerequisite? How much additional secret information is deduced? How much effort is ...

polymath: Encyclopedia II - Cryptanalysis - Quantum computing applications for cryptanalysis

Quantum computers have potential for use in cryptanalysis. Because quantum states can exist in superposition (ie, entangled), a new paradigm for computation is possible. Peter Shor of Bell Labs proved the possibility, and various teams have demonstrated one or another aspect of quantum computer engineering in the years since. Thus far, only very limited proof of possibility designs have been demonstrated. There is, at this writing, no credible prospect of an actual, usable, quantum computer. However, were a quantum computer to be built, many things would change. Parallel comput ...

polymath: Encyclopedia II - Cryptanalysis - Cryptanalysis of asymmetric cryptography

Asymmetric cryptography (or public key cryptography) is cryptography that relies on using two keys; one private, and one public. Such ciphers invariably rely on "hard" mathematical problems as the basis of their security, so an obvious point of attack is to develop methods for solving the problem. The security of two-key cryptography depends on mathematical questions in a way that single-key cryptography generally does not, and c ...
