unusual facts about Equals



Ackermann set theory

Reinhardt, William, "Ackermann's set theory equals ZF" Annals of Mathematical Logic Vol.

Baligant

One might say they were equals, except that Charlemagne had the help of Saint Gabriel.

Constant

Logical constant, a symbol in symbolic logic that has the same meaning in all models, such as the symbol "=" for "equals"

Criticisms of the labour theory of value

A close reading of Jevons' chapter on "labor" in his "Theory of Political Economy" reveals that he considered his marginal analysis quite consistent with the labor theory of value as he established that in equilibrium marginal utility equals marginal labor value.

Fiji during the time of Cakobau

He faced opposition, however, from local chiefs who saw him at best as first among equals, and also from the Tongan Prince Enele Ma'afu, who had established himself on the Island of Lakeba in the Lau archipelago in 1848.

Geospatial topology

In spatial analysis the topological spatial relations are derived from the DE-9IM model, as spatial predicates about relations between points, lines, and/or areas: Equals, Contains, Covers, CoveredBy, Crosses, Disjoint, Intersects, Overlaps, Touches and Within.

Hydropneumatic suspension

The pressure in one suspension strut equals the pressure in the other through Pascal's law, potentially giving the 'light' tire more footprint pressure.

Joe Rokocoko

He had a high strike rate for the All Blacks, scoring 25 tries in his first 20 tests, and breaking the All Blacks single-season record for test tries previously shared by Jonah Lomu and Christian Cullen—his 17 test tries scored in 2003 equals the world record held by Daisuke Ohata of Japan.

Leonie Rysanek

This little-known feat equals the more often cited accomplishment of Maria Callas, who once performed Die Walküre and Bellini's I puritani within the same week.

Less-than sign

The less-than sign plus the equals sign (<=) is used for an approximation of the less-than-or-equal-to sign (≤).

MechWarrior 2 soundtrack

A remix version of the song entitled "Labrea, Circle of Equals (Trial of Grievance)" (aka "Arkam Bridge") was used later in Civilization II in the Hoover Dam Wonder video.

Pendulum

As first explained by Maximilian Schuler in a 1923 paper, a pendulum whose period exactly equals the orbital period of a hypothetical satellite orbiting just above the surface of the earth (about 84 minutes) will tend to remain pointing at the center of the earth when its support is suddenly displaced.

Perceforest

Perceforest, king of Britain, introduces Christian faith and establishes his Franc Palais of free equals, the best knights, with clear parallels to the Round Table.

Permanent is sharp-P-complete

The computational complexity of the permanent also has some significance in other aspects of complexity theory: it is not known whether NC equals P (informally, whether every polynomially-solvable problem can be solved by a polylogarithmic-time parallel algorithm) and Ketan Mulmuley has suggested an approach to resolving this question that relies on writing the permanent as the determinant of a matrix.

Richard R. Ernst

The 2009 Bel Air Film Festival featured the world premiere of a documentary film on Ernst Science Plus Dharma Equals Social Responsibility.

Rodney Blaze

"The Block Busters": Ad Visser, Band Zonder Banaan, Barrelhouse, Bert Heerink, Birgit, Boney M, Cesar Zuiderwijk, Equals, Fischer Z, George McCrae, Gibson Brothers, Gruppo Sportivo, Happy Tunes, Is Ook Schitterend, Mud, Pasadena’s, Peter Koelewijn, Rich Wyman, Shoes, Slade, Sweet, Three Degrees, Uriah Heep, VOF De Kunst, Zombies.

Superposition theorem

The superposition theorem for electrical circuits states that for a linear system the response (voltage or current) in any branch of a bilateral linear circuit having more than one independent source equals the algebraic sum of the responses caused by each independent source acting alone, while all other independent sources are replaced by their internal impedances.

Tekufah

# Tekufat Tishrei, the autumnal equinox, when the sun enters Libra, and autumn, or "et ha-batsir" (vintage-time), begins, and when the day again equals the night.

Telesarchus of Samos

After the tyrant Polycrates was killed following talks with the Persians, his secretary Maeandrius seizes power over Samos but attempts to restore a democratic form of government (ἰσονομίη, "rule of equals").

Vivian Alamain

Vivian’s friend/former-henchman, Ivan suddenly returns to Salem, shows her the great wealth he has acquired as a Bollywood movie director/producer, expresses his undying love to her, and then takes her with him to India to make her a movie star, and open a new chapter in their lives together as equals.

Wisdom of the crowd

Scott E. Page introduced the diversity prediction theorem: "The squared error of the collective prediction equals the average squared error minus the predictive diversity".
