Matthew Cuthbert and the sorrel mare jogged comfortably over the eight miles to Bright River. It was a pretty road, running along between snug farmsteads, with now and again a bit of balsamy fir wood ...

Consider the words "man", "woman", "boy", and "girl". Two of them refer to males, and two to females. Also, two of them refer to adults, and two to children. We can ...

Encompassing artificial intelligence, graphics, hardware and software systems, programming languages, security and privacy, and theory, the Computer Science Ph.D. program is the foundation of computer ...

The case of polywater demonstrates how the desire to believe in a new phenomenon can sometimes overpower the demand for solid, well-controlled evidence. In 1966 the Soviet scientist Boris ...

This paper describes a method for efficiently computing parallel transport of tangent vectors on curved surfaces, or more generally, any vector-valued data on a curved manifold. More precisely, it ...

We introduce the heat method for solving the single- or multiple-source shortest path problem on both flat and curved domains. A key insight is that distance computation can be split into two stages: ...

This algorithm by Greengard is O(n). However, it uses more complicated mathematics and is more difficult to program in 3-dimensions, and has larger constants in its order of complexity. The NESL code.

Conradin was ten years old, and the doctor had pronounced his professional opinion that the boy would not live another five years. The doctor was silky and effete, and counted for little, but his ...

I am an entering freshman in SCS. How do I become an AI major? All incoming SCS students start their first year as undeclared majors and take roughly the same curriculum during their first year. In ...

Michael Garland and Paul S. Heckbert, SIGGRAPH 97. The text of this article is available in both PDF and PostScript formats. The PDF file is recommended. It is much smaller and will reproduce well on ...
