Subscribers' changes of address should be reported well in advance to avoid disruption of service: address labels are prepared four to six weeks in advance of the date of mailing. Requests for a change of address should a/ways include the member or subscriber code and preferably a copy of the entire mailing label. Members are reminded that U. S. Postal Service change-of-address forms are not adequate for this purpose. since they make no provision for several important items of information which are essential for the AMS records. Suitable forms are published from time to time in the Notices of the American Mathematical Society (e.g. October 1985. page 725). Send change of address notices to the Society at Post Office Box 6248. Providence. Rl 02940.

  • Translation of the Eugene Dynkin Interview with Evgenii Mikhailovich Landis
    Translation of the Eugene Dynkin Interview with Evgenii Mikhailovich Landis E. B. Dynkin: September 2, 1990. Moscow, Hotel of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR. E. B.: Let's begin at the beginning. You entered the university before the war? E. M.: I entered the university before the war, in 1939. I had been there two months when I was recruited into the army---then the army recruited people the way they did up to a year ago. So there I was in the army, and there I stayed till the end of the war. First I was in Finland\footnote{Finnish-Russian war, November 30, 1939-March 12, 1940, essentially a Soviet war of aggression. Hostilities were renewed in June 1941, when Germany invaded the USSR.}, where I was wounded, and for some time after that was on leave. Then I returned to the army, and then the war began\footnote{On June 22, 1941, when Germany invaded the USSR.} and I was in the army for the whole of the war. E. B.: In what branch? E. M.: At first I was in the infantry, and after returning from Finland and recovering from my wound, I ended up in field artillery. E. B.: The probability of surviving the whole of the war as a foot-soldier would have been almost zero. E. M.: I think that this would have been true also in artillery, since this was field artillery, and that is positioned very close to the front. But this is how it was. When the counter-attack before Moscow began in the spring of 1942, our unit captured a German vehicle---a field ambulance, fully fitted out with new equipment, complete with a set of instructions---in German, naturally.

He is the author of the multi-volume work The Art of Computer Programming and has been called the "father" of the analysis of algorithms. He contributed to the development of the rigorous analysis of the computational complexity of algorithms and systematized formal mathematical techniques for it. In the process he also popularized the asymptotic notation. In addition to fundamental contributions in several branches of theoretical computer science, Knuth is the creator of the TeX computer typesetting system, the related METAFONT font definition language and rendering system, and the Computer Modern family of typefaces. As a writer and scholar,[4] Knuth created the WEB and CWEB computer programming systems designed to encourage and facilitate literate programming, and designed the MIX/MMIX instruction set architectures. As a member of the academic and scientific community, Knuth is strongly opposed to the policy of granting software patents. He has expressed his disagreement directly to the patent offices of the United States and Europe.

    MELROSE ·- -GARDENS ., ~ MELROSE GARDENS INTRODUCTION PACIFIC PANORAMA (Sexton) AM '63 MELROSE GARDENS INTRODUCliON GOODNESS (Babson) HM'63 1964 HELLO AGAIN! Carl Milliken We are finally back with a full catalog, we hope you find it of interest and that there are many iris listed herein that will intrigue you. As you will notice, we ·are reviewing and admiring ourselves just a little for some of the really great iris we have had the fortune to bring into your gardens. That may sound pretty "big headed" but you will also notice that few of these iris have been our own developments. We have been extremely lucky and honored in being chosen to introduce the iris of such notable breeders as Sanford Babson, Collie and Lillian Terrell, Caroline Dorman, Sam Rix, Walker Ferguson, Ruth Stephenson, Roy Davidson, Keith Keppel and his father, Ra1ph Conrad, Sass-Graham, and others including the breeder of Pacific Panorama, Neva Sexton and our good friend the late W. B. Davis and his wonderful Daylilies. There is a wonderful feeling involved in being the distributors of such beauty as iris can bring into our lives. There may be the bad days, and there may be interruptions and setbacks, but always these less desirable days are forgotten when the iris begin to bloom and the shipping season starts, for there is a satisfaction in all of this. Then, too, you may think kindly of us, for just the Tahoe Vista merest moment, when you are enjoying your iris in your spring garden. Such kind thoughts are also rewards, sometimes it is our entire profit.

  • Historical Perspective and Further Reading 162.E1
    2.21 Historical Perspective and Further Reading 162.e1 2.21 Historical Perspective and Further Reading Th is section surveys the history of in struction set architectures over time, and we give a short history of programming languages and compilers. ISAs include accumulator architectures, general-purpose register architectures, stack architectures, and a brief history of ARMv7 and the x86. We also review the controversial subjects of high-level-language computer architectures and reduced instruction set computer architectures. Th e history of programming languages includes Fortran, Lisp, Algol, C, Cobol, Pascal, Simula, Smalltalk, C+ + , and Java, and the history of compilers includes the key milestones and the pioneers who achieved them. Accumulator Architectures Hardware was precious in the earliest stored-program computers. Consequently, computer pioneers could not aff ord the number of registers found in today’s architectures. In fact, these architectures had a single register for arithmetic instructions. Since all operations would accumulate in one register, it was called the accumulator , and this style of instruction set is given the same name. For example, accumulator Archaic EDSAC in 1949 had a single accumulator. term for register. On-line Th e three-operand format of RISC-V suggests that a single register is at least two use of it as a synonym for registers shy of our needs. Having the accumulator as both a source operand and “register” is a fairly reliable indication that the user the destination of the operation fi lls part of the shortfall, but it still leaves us one has been around quite a operand short.

  • Kale Apple Cake
    RECIPE Hero Vegetable: Kale Kale Apple Cake Ingredients: 2 cups fresh kale, stems removed and roughly chopped 2 cups flour 3 apples, cored, and sliced into wedges 1 ¼ cup sugar ½ cup unsalted butter, melted ½ cup milk 3 eggs 1 Tbs lemon juice 2 tsp baking powder 1 tsp vanilla extract ½ tsp salt ¼ cup sliced almonds (optional) powdered sugar for sprinkling(optional) Directions: Preheat your oven to 350F. Grease then fit a round sheet of parchment paper inside the bottom of a 10-inch springform pan, set aside. Steam or lightly boil the kale for about 2 minutes. The kale should be tender. Puree the kale leaves in a blender with a spoonful of water until smooth. Don’t add more water as the kale will release its own juices. (Now if your blender isn’t breaking up the kale easily, you can use the milk at this step instead of later to blend the kale if it makes it easier to puree) In a mixing bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Beat in the eggs, kale puree, vanilla, lemon juice, and milk, mixing until the batter just combined. Pour in the cooled melted butter and beat until well incorporated. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. (If the batter is thick, this is ok. The apples will release juices as the cake bakes.) Arrange the apple slices into the batter, pushing them into the batter slightly. Sprinkle the almonds evenly over the cake batter. Bake the cake for 35-45 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake (not into an apple) comes out clean.
