Super Mario World
Super Mario World (known in Japan as Super Mario World: Super Mario Bros. 4) is a side-scrolling platformer developed by Nintendo EAD and published by Nintendo for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System on November 21, 1990 (in Japan), August 31, 1991 (in North America), and April 11, 1992 (in Europe).
One of the launch titles of the SNES (and bundled with early systems in North America), Super Mario World is the fifth main game in the Super Mario series. (starring Nintendo's mascot, Mario, and his brother, Luigi). The game follows both Mario brothers as they explore Dinosaur Land (known for its large amount of dinosaurs) to find and defeat the evil Koopa king Bowser (and his seven underlings, the Koopalings) while rescuing Princess Toadstool.
Along with new abilities (such as the "Spin Jump"), a new power-up (the "Cape Feather") and more obstacles, the game introduces dinosaur companions (known as Yoshi) that Mario and Luigi can ride. Yoshi, known for using their long tongues to snare and eat enemies, have become a fan-favorite among the series (giving them their own games and spin-offs, most notably this game's prequel).
Special bundles of the SNES in 1994 included a compilation cartridge mixing Super Mario World with Super Mario All-Stars. The only difference in this version is a new sprite set for Luigi. The original game was later ported to the Game Boy Advance on February 11, 2002 as Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2. Along with a special version of the original Mario Bros., the port includes a variety of differences, including Luigi as a selectable character (who now has unique features, such as his floating jump from Super Mario Bros. 2), new voice acting, and the ability to save anywhere. The original game was also digitally re-released in Nintendo's Virtual Console platform for the Wii (on February 5, 2007) and Wii U (on April 26, 2013).

text: For many, the name Michael Graves is synonymous with the "whistling bird" Alessi teakettle and an array of affordably stylish household products bearing the Graves Design imprint at Target stores. But Graves is also a renowned architect who transformed America's built environment with buildings in the 1980s that took a whimsical approach to classical forms. In early 2003, in the midst of his successful career, a mysterious and potentially fatal illness left him partially paralyzed. Graves survived after undergoing years of painful rehab, but his ordeal opened an unexpected new chapter in his illustrious career -- designing hospital furniture and homes for wounded war veterans. His goal is to transform traditionally cold institutions into environments that promote healing.

Pasta with Meatballs in Tomato Sauce
For the meatballs
250g pork, minced
250g beef, minced
1 egg
2 tbsp Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tsp Oregano
3 tbsp semolina, or breadcrumbs
1 pinch Pepper
1 tsp Salt
For the tomato sauce
1 onion
2 garlic clove
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tbsp Butter
1 tbsp Olive oil, (not extra-virgin)
700g tomato passata (sieved tomatoes)
1 pinch Sugar
1 pinch salt and pepper
100ml full cream milk
To make the meatballs, just put everything in a large bowl, and then, using your hands, mix to combine, before shaping into small balls. Place the meatballs on baking sheets or plates that you have lined with clingfilm, and put in the fridge as you finish them.
To make the tomato sauce, put the onion, garlic and oregano into the process and blitz to a pulp. Heat the butter and oil in a deep wide pan, then scrape the onion-garlic mix into it and cook over a low-medium for about 10 minutes. Don't let the mixture catch, just let it become soft. Add the bottle of passata and then fill the empty bottle half full with cold water. Add this to the pan with the pinch of sugar, some salt and pepper, and cook for about 10 minutes. The tomato sauce will appear thin at this stage, but don't worry as it will thicken a little later. Stir in the milk, and then drop the meatballs in one by one. Don't stir the pan until the meatballs have turned from pink to brown as you don't want to break them up. Cook everything for about 20 minutes, with the lid only partially covering it. At the end of cooking time, check the seasoning as you may want more salt and a grind or two more of pepper. Serve with pasta of your choice and a sprinkle of parmesan.

Program Objectives
The Master of Arts in Art Education with an Emphasis in Special Populations is a rigorous program that trains and empowers art educators to develop skills for adapting and implementing strategies that enrich the lives of all learners.
Our candidates develop and test innovative techniques through their action based research in a field setting, while critically assessing art education policies and documenting the study of contemporary art education issues for diverse learners. Our candidates graduate prepared to advance the development of art education.
100% of our MA in Art Education with an Emphasis in Special Populations graduates 2017 and 2016 are employed in their field of study or enrolled in a Doctoral program.
Growing up I found my academics to be very challenging. I struggled even to complete High School. Like many of my students now, I did not fit the "one size fits all" education system that we find ourselves in today. However, I always felt successful in the art room. Not because I was the best artist, but because my art teacher chose to celebrate every effort that I made to express myself. In these small moments of celebration my art teacher encouraged me to take risks in other areas of my studies, even though I was terribly afraid of failing. Over time, I found that pushing through my fear of failure was my greatest success of all.
And we all have students like this in the art room, don't we? Whether we have students with IEPs, or special accommodations, or whether these needs are hidden from us, as art educators we desire to have an art room that offers a safe and engaging art making experience for all of our students.
Here at Moore College of Art & Design, through our Master of Arts in Art Education with an Emphasis in Special Populations program, we pride ourselves on offering the only program in the country that equips its graduates with the knowledge, research, strategies and skills to make art accessible to everyone.
Our highly trained and experienced faculty are looking for candidates who are curious about what they see happening in their art room and have a sense that something better is possible, and who are bold enough to do the work that needs to be done to enrich the lives of all of our students. When our students research and write their theses, they are making substantial contributions to the field of art and special populations. Their investigations become the research on which art educators will build their curriculums and advocate for change in the classroom.
At Moore you will also develop an incredible network of peers and colleagues to glean from and collaborate with, and I take great pride in the fact that our program has a 95% employment rate.
I believe that art education plays a vital role not only in our schools and community programs, but in our society at large. Art is the language that all people speak. It cuts across racial, cultural, social, educational, and economic barriers.
Come and join me for this one of a kind experience. Let's expand the field of art education together.
Lauren Stichter, MEd, Arcadia University, Faculty and Graduate Program Director

Toned Monochrome Portrait
As I've mentioned in several posts I've been going through some awesome tutorials by David Nightingale (http://www.chromasia.com). David has quite a few tutorials relating to the "creative process". He walks you through his thought process on sample images and explains the choices he makes — ranging from basics like cropping and minor cloning to advanced masking and application of adjustment layers. I can't recommend the tutorials highly enough.
To create the image above I used many of the things I learned from David. He'd probably be horrified and have thoughts along the lines of "You've read/watched my tutorials and this is all you got out of them!" 🙂 Nonetheless I'll briefly describe what I did to get this final image.
To start off, let me say that for this image I did not crop nor did I clone or do spot healing edits. There is some work which could be done in these areas but I was focused more on trying to execute a certain "look". I've learned (from the tutorials and via experimentation on a half dozen images or so) that it's rarely best to convert an image to black and white using a straight grayscale conversion or desaturation. My main objective was to practice getting a "nice" B+W (or toned monochrome image — that's technically what my final image is) using the channel mixer in Photoshop.
Here are the layers I ended up with:
The first thing I did was duplicate the background layer and change the blend mode to "soft light" at 72% opacity (played with the opacity until I liked it). This gave this image a soft glow. It brightened the skin significantly. I did not want this effect on the eyes, hair, and scarf and you can see that I masked the background layer back into these areas.
I then used two channel mixer adjustment layers to get a monochrome image. The first layer used values R:+43, G:+39, B:+18. I decided that the background needed different look so I used the B+W with blue filter setting with R:0, G:0, B:+100. Where did I get the numbers for the channel mixer layers? I experimented until I liked it. I won't go into how the channel mixer works(because I can't remember it all anyway) but the settings you choose can have drastic effects on your images. As a general rule of thumb you want your RGB values to add up to around +100 for a "normal" looking image. I leave further theory/study up to the reader until I understand it better myself.
The first curves adjustment layer lightened the background to give more separation between it and my daughter. The second slightly brightened and added contrast to the eyes, lips, and teeth. The third curves adjustment brought up the midtones and was masked only into the eye sockets and a small shadow area between the chin and lower lip. This evened out the levels in the face.
Up to this point I was working with a true black and white image. I wanted to tone the image a bit and I used the "Curves 3" layer to do that. I brought up the reds a bit in the shadows and midtones and decreased the greens and blues in the midtones by adjusted the red, green, and blue channels individually. There are endless toning possibilities using curves. Of course, tools like Lightroom have many presets available that are often satisfactory but using curves gives you ultimate flexibility — you can change the colors infinitely and even narrow your adjustments to particular parts of your histogram. Here is what the toning curves looked like:
The "Curves 2" layer darkened the image and was masked in selectively to add some vignette.
Here's the image without the toning curves layer. There's no right or wrong answer but I'm curious what others like — toned or full B+W? Honestly I have a hard time choosing between the B+W and the toned image — I like both quite a bit. I think the toned version works well with my daughter's brown eyes and brunette hair color.
UT Tower In Orange
A friend called up this afternoon to let me know that a "photographic opportunity" was coming up this evening. The University of Texas Men's swim team had won the national championship so the UT Tower was being lit orange tonight in their honor. Now, I'm not a huge UT fan (flame away) but as a photographer I recognized that it truly was a unique chance to get a great image. I really felt like staying home for the evening (my wife and I had bagged some errand plans for that very reason).
My wife reminded me that I'd regret not going so I packed up and went to campus with one of my daughters. The weather was perfect and we had a great evening out. I even took some street portraits for some ladies who wanted their picture taken with the tower in the background. They were quite the jokesters — "I want my head put on Sandra Bullock's body…I want so-and-so's body…Do a lot of that soft-focus thing on my face". We had a good time.
The image above was generated by taking four manual exposures then using Photomatix to fuse the exposures (no tonemapping). I used to darkest exposures to bring back a few highlights. I've only played with fusing exposures a little, but I've found it to generally produce a nice, clean image. If fusing did not work out I would probably have gone the composite route (manually blending the exposures in Photoshop). I didn't even try tonemapping as I often don't like it much for night shots. I added some sharpening a smidgen of clarity in Lightroom. That's all I did — no noise reduction, no curves.
I hope all you UT fans like this photo. Well, I hope you all like the photo…

Vanguard to Add New International Bond Fund, ETF
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
Vanguard Group looks ready to apply more pressure to fund costs this year. Up next: A family of low-priced international bond funds.
The firm just announced that its Total International Bond Index Fund and ETF shares are due by the end of the second quarter. It's almost a trend: Last week brought the launch of the WisdomTree Corporate Global Corporate Bond ETF (GLCB).
The upcoming Vanguard funds will track the Barclays Global Aggregate ex-USD Float Adjusted RIC Capped Index, a U.S. dollar-hedged index of about 7,000 corporate and government bonds from 52 countries. The average credit quality is AA2/AA3. The country breakdown as of Dec. 31 was Japan (23%), France (12%), Germany (11%), and the United Kingdom (9%).
What's different here is a chance to own a big swath of two types of overseas credits -- corporate and government bonds -- in a single fund. Investors have fed $24 billion into iShares iBoxx Investment Corporate Bond ETF (LQD) and nearly $2 billion into SPDR Barclays International Treasury Bond ETF (BWX), to take two examples. It looks as though you'll be able to get much of what those two funds offer in a single package.
Costs are also notable: The firm announced these funds' expenses will be lower than previously expected, at 0.20% for the ETF and Admiral-class mutual fund shares down from the 0.30% shown in a 2011 filing. The institutional-class mutual fund will cost 0.12%, or less than half the 2011 filing's 0.25%. Compare to the two previously mentioned funds' 0.15% and 0.50% expense ratios.
Read more about the upcoming Vanguard launch here.
It will be worth watching how many investors trade in their shares of very popular global corporate and global sovereign-bond funds to get both exposures a single, low-priced fund.

U.S. EPA Region 8, under its responsibility in Colorado, Montana, South Dakota and Indian Country, plans to ensure closure of all motor vehicle waste disposal wells. The disposal wells were banned effective Jan. 1, 2007.
In 1999, EPA adopted new rules for two types of shallow on-site disposal systems or injection wells – motor vehicle waste disposal wells and large capacity cesspools. These two specific types of systems were selected out of more than 20 subcategories of shallow disposal systems because of their potential to contaminate underground sources of drinking water. These requirements banned new disposal wells in April 2000, with existing disposal wells required to obtain a permit or close by Jan. 1, 2007. Region 8 has been working with the facilities to identify these disposal wells and get them permitted or closed since 2000. All motor vehicle waste disposal wells are banned with the exception of those that received a permit to treat and discharge.
With the goal of protecting sources of drinking water, EPA plans to issue administrative orders as soon as disposal wells without permits are identified. However, since many of these operators are small businesses, they will be given a chance to close their disposal wells within a certain time period determined by the circumstances. If the operator closes the well within the given time period, no penalty will be sought.
"EPA's goal is to protect the sources of drinking water for the people living near these potential pollution sources," said Mike Risner, Region 8 acting deputy assistant regional administrator, Enforcement, Compliance and Environmental Justice. "We are hopeful that operators will step forward and contact us to help eliminate these potential threats to the clean drinking water."
Businesses, including automotive service stations, auto body shops, farm machinery dealers and light airplane maintenance facilities that are in areas without sewers and that dispose of water on-site, may have motor vehicle waste disposal wells. Generally, motor vehicle waste disposal wells are floor drains or sinks in service bays that are tied into a shallow disposal system. Most commonly, these shallow disposal systems are septic systems or drywells, but any underground system that receives motor vehicle waste is considered a motor vehicle waste disposal well. A variety of names are used to describe shallow disposal systems including cesspools, catch basins, sink holes, underground vaults or drain tanks.
These wells are typically shallow disposal systems that are used to place a variety of fluids below the land surface near underground sources of drinking water. These disposal wells may be found almost anywhere people are, but, in general, they are located in rural areas without sewers where people depend on ground water for their drinking water. Their simple construction provides little or no protection against possible ground water contamination.
Shallow injection of wastewater from industrial and manufacturing processes can cause significant problems. During normal vehicle repair and maintenance activities, vehicle fluids may drip, spill, or otherwise enter floor drains or sinks in service areas. These fluids may include: engine oil, transmission fluid, power steering fluid, brake fluid, hydraulic fluid, antifreeze, chlorinated or non-chlorinated parts-cleaning solvents and degreasers. These wastes can endanger drinking water sources. Chemicals disposed of in a septic system designed to treat sanitary waste can cause the system to malfunction and contaminate ground water. Chemicals disposed of in a dry well may flow directly into the drinking water source and contaminate ground water.

New York, June 29, 2012--Chinese censors should unblock the website of the Bloomberg news agency, which became inaccessible today following a story on the vice president's family and its financial assets, the Committee to Protect Journalists said today.
In a report headlined "Xi Jinping's millionaire relations reveal elite Chinese fortunes," Bloomberg traced millions of dollars in assets to the extended family of Xi, who is expected to be China's next president. China blocked the news agency's website on the mainland, according to international news reports. Bloomberg's report did not link the assets to Xi or his immediate family, but quoted Xi speaking out against corruption and urging party officials not to let their families profit through their position: "Rein in your spouses, children, relatives, friends and staff."
Ty Trippet, a spokesman for Bloomberg, told CPJ by email, "Our Bloomberg.com website is currently inaccessible in China in reaction, we believe, to a Bloomberg News story that was published today." Belina Tan, Bloomberg's Asia spokeswoman, also told The Associated Press that the company believed the site had been inaccessible after a report published Friday, but did not provide more details. The AP could not reach a Chinese government spokesperson for comment. "It is unclear which government department to even approach to seek an explanation," AP reported. CPJ contacted a government department outside normal business hours, but received no reply.
The name "Bloomberg" was also blocked from Chinese microblog search results, while Internet searches for "Bloomberg" conducted in China did not return the Xi Jinping report, according to international news reports. The Bloomberg Professional service, which provides access to real-time financial data, was still available, the reports said.
"China cannot have lasting success as an international power if officials block global business news because they don't like a critical report," said Bob Dietz, CPJ Asia program coordinator. "Leaders must put China's business interests above their own by unblocking Bloomberg's website."
International news reports are available to some extent in China, although it blocks some sites and individual stories selectively, according to CPJ research. Some sites, like Twitter, are only accessible via proxy servers which allow users to circumvent the censors' firewall, CPJ research shows.
Chinese-language content from overseas is particularly vulnerable to censorship, CPJ research shows. The New York Times launched its own Chinese-language site on Thursday.

As health club operators know, personal training can be a major revenue generator for your club, especially if you engage your personal trainers by sharing some basic business principles with them. Doing so allows you to capitalize on the inherent competitive nature of personal trainers. Trainers know about body mechanics, fitness and how to improve human physical performance, but most of them do not know how to run a business and sell.
Here are nine things you can do to energize your personal training team and increase revenue:
1. Create a business plan specifically geared for your training department. Understand that although personal training is a department within your club, it needs to operate as if it is its own business. This will instill a sense of entrepreneurship among your trainers and help them understand how they have control over their income and can drive their own business. Your trainers need to be career-minded and fully committed to their profession.
2. Educate trainers about the club business. Show them how their individual business positively affects the club and increases their own individual success. They need to know what is in it for them.
3. Get rid of small, low-profit margin programs. Put all of the effort into programs that have the most participation or potential for higher profit.
4. Develop a sales-focused training program. If your club has a sales trainer, ask him or her to teach your team the sales basics. Match the right trainer to the client based on need and specialty. Coach them on ways to build rapport with new clients, such as sharing testimonials from past clients. This helps the trainers demonstrate how they will meet the client's goals. Most importantly, teach them how to ask for the sale.
5. Coach each trainer to develop a personal action plan that includes a minimum monthly sales goal. The expectations need to be set, and the consequences of not meeting goals need to be clear. This training is fundamental to the process. That action plan could include being visible, building small training groups, participating in club fitness programs and social events, maximizing floor service time and providing solid fitness orientations. Set up an action plan for low achievers by giving them a short window to produce results. They either have it or they don't. If they fall in the latter category, you need to be prepared to cut them from the team. Low performers impact your bottom line, but more importantly, they negatively impact the team camaraderie. On the positive side, be sure to have a compensation package in place that rewards your strong performers. Provide incentives for meeting individual benchmarks. For example, pay a cash bonus for going above and beyond the expectation by mid-month.
6. Develop a marketing plan and brand your program so it has an identity. Use that brand for all the fitness programs you offer. Marketing support to help get the word out is an integral aspect of the overall plan. Feature personal training specials in your regular marketing materials, such as flyers, emails and newsletters. Highlight the trainer of the week in the club. Open social media channels for your trainers. Facebook posts about new training programs and classes help encourage members to talk about their experience publicly to spread the word. Encourage trainers to create short videos to post on YouTube. These videos do not need to be professionally produced; even simple videos on a specific training program or trainer can be effective when linked into other social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter.
7. Implement a friendly competition. Given the inherently competitive nature of personal trainers, creating monthly incentives for the top performers goes a long way. Give them options to be creative and the leeway to branch out with new ideas to reach new clients.
8. Encourage your trainers to do small group training. Small group training is an excellent way for trainers to touch more people and show off their skills and knowledge. Some trainers prefer one-on-one training because it creates relationships and accountability for the client. However, small group training can have the same effect and more. The fee per client goes down in small group training, but by increasing the number of clients in each session, it can be cumulatively more profitable. Additionally, in a group setting, clients are developing relationships with other members, which we know increases member retention. Clients who have experienced small group training also are more likely to advance to personal training in the future.
9. Regularly communicate with trainers. This is one of the most important parts of the whole plan. Make sure you set up regular meetings to communicate and motivate. It helps everyone stay focused on the goal. They need to know when they are achieving and when they are falling behind.
Revamping your personal training department in this way is not an easy adjustment for everyone. You may find some trainers will not be able to live up to the task. However, you will find this is a great opportunity to reward and recognize the successes of the trainers who can. Peer recognition and competition plays a large part in motivating trainers, particularly when they see how they can increase their earning potential.

text: 15 Jun DIY Boho Sandals I recently went on a mini vacation and saw some gorgeous boho clothing and accessories! After looking at some of the expensive price tags, I thought; "How hard could it be to make some of these things myself?" Then I received the Boye Pom Pom and Tassel Maker and attended a maker workshop at CLFair with Boye/Simplicity's Michele Muska. She showed us how to use it and I was hooked. As soon as I got home I started using mine. I sketched up some ideas, took a trip to Joanns Stores for trims,

There were 13 arrests this week in San Francisco as the University of California regents met and raise tuition another 8 percent. Memo to protestors: you're wasting your time and breath on the regents. This is another in a long series of tuition increases. And it won't be the last.
Tuition increases are rational in light of the never-ending state fiscal crisis -- a crisis so deep that $20 billion annual deficits are predicted for the first half of this decade. Since California's public university systems do not have the same kind of special constitutional and budget protections as K-12 education, transportation, and prisons, higher education is virtually guaranteed to be the loser in annual budget contests. Chillingly, the system's chancellor, Mark Yudof, was quoted in today's LA Times today as saying that one reason for the tuition increase is that more cuts in state support for the universities are expected.
He's right, unfortunately. Taxpayer support is now only well less than half of the money that public university campuses rely upon for their budgets. Californians and their elected representatives, through an unwillingness to raise taxes or protect higher education, have chosen this path of de facto privatization. So if students want to protest, they should leave campus and take to the streets.

Emeril's Tchoup Chop, an upscale Asian-Polynesian eatery at the Royal Pacific Resort at Universal Orlando, is undergoing a transformation that includes a new chef de cuisine, general manager, updated menus and revamped interior.
Chef Ryan Vargas is in charge of the kitchen and Andy Vaughn is handling the front of the house and other business related responsibilities.
Vargas, who has more than 20 years of experience in the culinary arts, took the helm at Emeril's Tchoup Chop in October 2013. Vargas, a Hawaii native, joined Tchoup Chop after spending about 13 years leading the kitchens at some of the island's top resorts, including the Four Seasons Resort in Hualalai and the Ritz Carlton in Kapalua Maui. Vargas also led the kitchen at the Four Seasons Resort in Palm Beach, where he was voted as "Palm Beach County Best Chef" by the Palm Beach Post in 2011. Classically trained, Vargas graduated from the Culinary Institute of America at Hyde Park, N.Y. in 1991 with an associate's degree in Culinary Arts.
The updated lunch and dinner menus feature dishes prepared in a brand-new Japanese robata grill, an updated sushi bar with expanded offerings and a fresh cocktail menu.
A robata grill sears meat, seafood and vegetables at up to 1,000F, allowing dishes to maintain their natural juices and flavor. Tchoup Chop is one of only two restaurants in Orlando to use the unique and rustic grilling method.
Guests can order small dishes from the robata menu as sides with an entrée, as appetizers to share with the table, or with several selections from the menu as an entrée, choosing from options such as Japanese eggplant with a chili mint sauce, pork belly Tocino and lemongrass-marinated chicken wing with spicy chili sauce.
Emeril's Tchoup Chop Emeril's Tchoup Chop (pronounced "chop-chop"), is located at 6300 Hollywood Way at the Loews Royal Pacific Resort at Universal Orlando Resort. The restaurant opened in 2002 as chef Emeril Lagasse's second restaurant in Orlando. The name "Tchoup Chop" is a play on New Orleans' famous Tchoupitoulas Street, where Emeril's Restaurant is located, and the bold culinary term "chop."
The restaurant offers free valet parking for lunch and dinner, accessed through a covered drive at the Royal Pacific Ballroom entrance. Tchoup Chop serves lunch daily, 11:30 a.m.–2:30 p.m. and dinner daily from 5–10 p.m.
Happy hour is 5–8 p.m. daily at the outdoor Tiki Bar.

My interests include scientific programming environments; algebraic manipulation by computer (programs like Macsyma, Mathematica, Maple, Axiom, Reduce); distributed computing; analysis of algorithms; programming and measurement of large systems; design and implementation of programming languages; digital document analysis (optical character recognition).
Interested in applying to graduate school in EECS? You need not contact me, but should follow this link instead. Note that I am officially retired. While I am happy to discuss research topics with students, I cannot provide research stipends.
There is a public ftp repository of programs, papers, and reviews written by my students and myself. I've linked a subset of them here: Berkeley computer algebra papers. Some pointers to other work in symbolic mathematical computing can be found by visiting various project home pages. One for which I've contributed is the (now public version) of the Macsyma program, named Maxima. There is a mailing list associated with that program that has become (sometimes) interesting. A recent glance at sourceforge stats shows that the summer, 2010 version had over 215,000 downloads. There appear to be over 2 million downloads as of 2012.
We used to run a symbolic integral look-up service called TILU,
but the chasing after various hosts for it has become tiresome. TILU has lasted
through about 4 hosts.
You can also get a copy of 2171 integrals that TILU can do, and see if you can do them all, and if you can do them faster. This table combines many simple examples (for timing) and a few harder ones near the end (for challenges). This is a preliminary version, and doesn't include that much of the literature on integration yet. Here's the list of examples as of May 23, 1996. It is 163k bytes. We have a file with the answers too, naturally. Our answers may be more cautious than those that come out of a computer algebra system. For example, our answers will sometimes include variations that depend on constraints on the parameters in the integrand. If you wish to host TILU locally, the source code is available. A later project RUBI by Albert Rich, may be more worthy of your attention, if integral table lookup is interesting to you.
My recent interests have included a very generic-arithmetic system to run in lisp, linking Lisp to GMP, fast polynomial arithmetic, a version of the "Chebfun" system to work in symbolic systems, integration of highly oscillatory functions using numerical and symbolic transformations, and how better pattern matching rules might make systems for computer algebra more intuitive (by some lights, merely nasty diatribes concerning a popular computer algebra system). Discussions of these topics are in a directory of various papers where the recent ones tend to be unpublished drafts. I tend to hang out on the sci.math.symbolic newsgroup.
Computer algebra fans may also wish to see work done by my colleague John Canny and his students, which in the past has included applications of algebraic algorithms.
Other work at Berkeley by CS faculty in scientific computing can be found by following the links to their home pages: James Demmel, Jonathan Shewchuk, and William Kahan. There are a host of other faculty at Berkeley in other departments with related interests (math, engineering, astronomy), as well as nearby activities at Lawrence Berkeley Lab.
Some visitors to this page have been directed here because of an interest in a Common Lisp package and libraries called MockMMA. see the directory for a recent revision of this Mockmma. This version is more directed to being compatible with the source-forge program Maxima, even if Maxima is being run in GCL, a Lisp dialect lacking in full upper-lower case control. (This is a disadvantage because Mathematica uses many mixed-case identifiers). To the user, this somewhat resembles Mathematica (tm), but has the advantage of being totally open (full source code). One can manipulate polynomials in several variables over the integers, rational functions, and a variety of other mathematical objects. Manipulations include simplification, differentiation, integration, evaluation, pattern matching, etc.
While I'm pointing to old software, here's where you can get a free copy of the final (1982?) university release of Franz Lisp Opus 38.92 for VAX. I don't know why you would want this old stuff, but the university software distribution office has closed and they left a copy with me.
A somewhat broader view of the problem of encoding scientific documents is given in the working paper More Versatile Scientific Documents. This is a text more-or-less related to the slides I used, at the ICDAR97 conference in Ulm, Germany. You might prefer to browse through the occasionally changing link page on this topic.
Even more generally, if you want to learn what we were doing in terms of digital library activities at Berkeley, see the links from the (former) digital library project home page. If you wish to understand something of the interesting problems and solutions in the area of "OCR" you might wish to look at the lectures for a course on Document Image Analysis taught in 2000 with Henry Baird. Browsing around there will get you assignments and related material.
More recently we've looked at dynamic entry of handwritten symbols, specifically for mathematics, using a tablet and stylus (or a Tablet PC), and/or speaking mathematics.
I've also participated in the formulation of the (2015) IEEE-1788 standard for interval arithmetic. You can visit it at IEEE.org.
Richard Fateman received a BS in Physics and Mathematics from Union College in 1966, and a Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics from Harvard University in 1971. His thesis work concerned the design and implementation of algorithms for the Macsyma computer algebra system. He taught in the Mathematics department at MIT from 1971 to 1974 and then joined the Berkeley Computer Science faculty. He was instrumental in originating the work on Berkeley's VAX UNIX system, and led the development of the original Franz Lisp at Berkeley. He served on the Common Lisp design committee and on the IEEE 754 binary floating-point arithmetic standards committee. He served as Berkeley's Computer Science Chair from 1987 to 1990.
He has been the principal investigator on grants from DOE, NSF, and SDF as well as many industrial firms including IBM, DEC, HP. He has authored more than 75 technical papers, mostly on issues related to computer algebra, programming languages and environments, scientific applications, and document image analysis.
In his spare time he travels, takes photos and grows bromeliads. Since retiring, he continues to write papers, consults on computing topics, and has served as an expert witness in patent and software intellectual property disputes (user interfaces, OCR). Recently (April 2012) he worked with Barnes and Noble in successfully defending the Nook against patent-infringement claims by Microsoft.
He volunteers as a disaster action team leader and is currently lead for the government liaison activity at the Alameda County (California) branch of the American Red Cross. KJ6BIH is his amateur radio (ham) call sign.
His daughter Johanna was a member of the punk electronica / riot-grrl band Le Tigre. To hear her interviewed by Terry Gross of National Public Radio, visit the Fresh Air archive site for September 5, 2000 . Fans may be interested in this DVD of their last tour, Who Took the Bomp. You can find out what she is currently doing by an internet search on her name.
His daughter Abigail is an environmental planner working in the Bay area, with a special interest in urban creeks and the award-winning and visually stunning Contra Costa County Watershed Atlas.
His wife Martha served as Director of Central Computing Services on the Berkeley campus before retiring in January, 2003.
