Putting the fox in the chicken coop?


Here's a couple 100% pure Stevia leaf extract products I found with a quick search on Amazon... https://www.amazon.com/Artificial-Sweetener-Servings-BSL-BSw... https://www.amazon.com/Stevia-Select-Powder-Organic-Leaf-Per... I know of a couple others, too. I always check labels very carefully.


See also John Baez's thread at https://twitter.com/johncarlosbaez/status/159280129111350067... in which he states: "No. Yitang Zhang did NOT prove the Landau-Siegel zeros conjecture. He did not even claim to!"


$paywalled??


There is an extension called "bypass paywalls" that I definitely don't advocate using.


Natalie Wolchover's article referring to this is also nice... https://www.quantamagazine.org/first-time-crystal-built-usin...


There were 4 of the then state-of-the-art, fastest in the world, CDC-7600 and CDC-6600 computers installed at Lawrence Livermore Lab (LLL, now LLNL, Lawrence Livermore National Lab) when I worked there during the summer of 1972.


I can't claim to have it on my bookshelf anymore, but DID have the original hardcopy on my bookshelf for many years back in the 70's and early 80's when I was programming some low-level math libraries and needed to refer to some approximation techniques (e.g., Chebyshev for logarithms).

EDIT: oops, just realized that you were referring to a later version of the classic. I was referring to Abramowitz and Stegun's Handbook of Mathematical Functions with formulas, graphs, and mathematical tables (1964).


Previous posts have nicely covered almost all of the textbooks and papers I would have mentioned myself, including K&R's _C Programming_, Brooks' _Mythical Man-Month_, Feynman's Lectures, etc. The only glaring omission was any mention of the classic (1965) FFT paper by Cooley and Tukey: "An algorithm for the machine calculation of complex Fourier series." _Mathematics of Computation_, 19(90), 297–297. doi:10.1090/s0025-5718-1965-0178586-1 (https://www.eit.lth.se/fileadmin/eit/courses/eit085f/Cooley_...) I might also have added the _CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics_ that seems to have been on every working scientists's and engineer's bookshelf (including mine) during the mid-to-late 20th century. Still in print, nearing the 100th edition. Also, some of my old favorite textbooks that I used at University were not mentioned, including Thomas' _Calculus and Analytical Geometry_. I still have my red cloth covered Addison-Wesley 3rd edition, no longer in print, but a much later edition might still be in print.


IEEE member since 1995; joined because my company paid for it (also joined the IEEE Computer Society, ACM and even APS, American Physical Society, at that time for the same reason.) Continued my IEEE membership at my own expense after retiring because I didn't want to lose my @ieee.org alias that I had used for many years, also wanted to continue to have access to publications and articles of interest. With that said, I would not recommend starting an IEEE membership at your own expense unless you can afford it and want to establish yourself in that community. I think they still require a sponsor for membership.
