Link group

The link group of the Hopf link, the simplest non-trivial link – two circles, linked once – is the free abelian group on two generators, \mathbf{Z}^2. Note that the link group of two unlinked circles is the free nonabelian group on two generators, of which the free abelian group on two generators is a quotient.

Magdalen papyrus

The "Magdalen" papyrus was purchased in Luxor, Egypt in 1901 by Reverend Charles Bousfield Huleatt (1863–1908), who identified the Greek fragments as portions of the Gospel of Matthew (Chapter 26:23 and 31) and presented them to Magdalen College, Oxford, where they are cataloged as P. Magdalen Greek 17 (Gregory-Aland \mathfrak{P}64) and whence they have their name.

# One chooses the prime p to be close to a power of two, such as a Mersenne prime.

Václav Chvátal

he studied a weighted version of the set cover problem, and proved that a greedy algorithm provides good approximations to the optimal solution, generalizing previous unweighted results by David S. Johnson (J. Comp. Sys. Sci. 1974) and László Lovász (Discrete Math. 1975).

Throughout the eighties, Frank Zappa would satirise the product, as exemplified by recordings on You Can't Do That on Stage Anymore, Vol. 3 and 4; the text of the song were often modified ad-lib.

The characteristic shape of Y p can be used to derive precise structural information about the surface atoms because the two parameters f H (coherent fraction) and P H (coherent position) are directly related to the Fourier representation of the atomic distribution function.
