E - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (890 words) |
 | E is very often silent in English (silent E), particularly at the ends of words where old noun inflections have been dropped, although even when silent at the end of a word it often causes vowels in the word to be pronounced as long (compare rat and rate). |
 | E is often a mis-understood letter in the English language, silent in many cases, badly portraited in upper cases and exchanged with Y by many unschooled and illiterate. |
 | In Romania, E is a symbol of parthenogenesis. |
| Quantifying Complexity Theory (4138 words) |
 | Complexity Theory is decidedly a new way of looking at things, and as such seems to throw out many of those traditional mathematical techniques used in our scientific work. |
 | The approaches used in complexity theory are based on a number of new mathematical techniques, originating from fields as diverse as physics, biology, artificial intelligence, politics and telecommunications, and this interdisciplinary viewpoint is the crucial aspect, reflecting the general applicability of the theory to systems in all areas. |
 | Complexity Theory is still a very new subject, so it is to be expected that progress will be slow until a critical mass of interdisciplinary researchers is reached. |
