He was 75. Goffin met King in 1958 when they were both students at Queens College. Their marriage and divorce were the basis of Broadway’s Beautiful: The Carole King Musical. Their work has been recorded by 1960s megastars including the Beatles, the Supremes and Aretha Franklin.

Kaplan ’09 3 Calendar of Events 4 An Outstanding Larry Cary ’70 High School The 2013-2014 academic year was a good one for Brooklyn Tech. Of 20,000 high schools nationwide reviewed by U.S. News & World Report, Tech ranked 60th. The racial and ethnic makeup of the student body may have changed from your era, but as it was for you, Tech provides the children of working and middle class families with an outstanding education that enables them to succeed in college and in life. In the pages of this issue, you will meet some of them. I suspect you will marvel, as I did, at their talents and achievements. Seventy-nine percent of the student body belongs to a minority group, with asian ameri- can students the largest in number. Eighteen percent are african-american or Hispanic. Two thirds of the students speak a foreign lan- guage at home. All are admitted, as you were, on the basis of a competitive exam. From Nearly 30,000 students sit for it.

  • Spiking Neurons and the First Passage Problem
    LETTER Communicated by Daniel Tranchina Spiking Neurons and the First Passage Problem Lawrence Sirovich [email protected] Laboratory of Applied Mathematics, Mount Sinai School of Medicine, New York, NY 10029, U.S.A. Bruce Knight [email protected] Center for Studies in Physics and Biology, Rockefeller University, New York, NY 10065, U.S.A. We derive a model of a neuron’s interspike interval probability density through analysis of the first passage problem. The fit of our expression to retinal ganglion cell laboratory data extracts three physiologically rele- vant parameters, with which our model yields input-output features that conform to laboratory results. Preliminary analysis suggests that under common circumstances, local circuitry readjusts these parameters with changes in firing rate and so endeavors to faithfully replicate an input signal. Further results suggest that the so-called principle of sloppy work- manship also plays a role in evolution’s choice of these parameters. 1 Introduction The pattern of electrical discharge event times, recorded from a neuron by a microelectrode in a vertebrate’s central nevous system, largely depends on three macroscale parameters: local synaptic input current s, in response to signals from other neurons, the transmembrane ohmic rate constant γ , proportional to transmembrane conductance, and the intracellular level of stochastic voltage noise, which may be expressed as a diffusion coefficient. Here we develop an expression for a neuron’s interspike-interval proba- bility density distribution in terms of these three variables. Our procedure assigns to the recorded neuron a simplified dynamical model, whose input- output dynamics, in some studied cases, conforms well with laboratory results.

  • How Digital Cameras Capture Light
    1 Open Your Shutters How Digital Cameras Capture Light Avery Cirincione­Lynch Eighth Grade Project Paper Hilltown Cooperative Charter School June 2014 2 Cover image courtesy of tumblr.com How Can I Develop This: Introduction Imagine you are walking into a dark room; at first you can't see anything, but as your pupils begin to dilate, you can start to see the details and colors of the room. Now imagine you are holding a film camera in a field of flowers on a sunny day; you focus on a beautiful flower and snap a picture. Once you develop it, it comes out just how you wanted it to so you hang it on your wall. Lastly, imagine you are standing over that same flower, but, this time after snapping the photograph, instead of having to developing it, you can just download it to a computer and print it out. All three of these scenarios are examples of capturing light. Our eyes use an optic nerve in the back of the eye that converts the image it senses into a set of electric signals and transmits it to the brain (Wikipedia, Eye). Film cameras use film; once the image is projected through the lens and on to the film, a chemical reaction occurs recording the light. Digital cameras use electronic sensors in the back of the camera to capture the light. Currently, there are two main types of sensors used for digital photography: the charge­coupled device (CCD) and complementary metal­oxide semiconductor (CMOS) sensors. Both of these methods convert the intensity of the light at each pixel into binary form, so the picture can be displayed and saved as a digital file (Wikipedia, Image Sensor).

  • THE SUMMER MEETING in ITHACA the American Mathematical Society
    THE SUMMER MEETING IN ITHACA The American Mathematical Society held its seventieth summer meeting at Ithaca, New York from Tuesday through Friday, August 31-September 3, 1965. There were 1470 persons registered at the meeting including 1051 members of the Society. All sessions were held in lecture rooms and classrooms on the campus of Cornell Uni­ versity. Professor A. P. Calderón of the University of Chicago presented the Forty-Third Colloquium in a set of four lectures with the title Singular integrals. He was introduced at the first lecture by Professor A. A. Albert, President of the Society. Presiding at the other lectures were Professors R. H. Cameron, W. E. Sewell and J. W. Green, the last of whom offered the thanks of the Society to the speaker. By invitation of the Committee to Select Hour Speakers for Sum­ mer and Annual Meetings, Professor George Lorentz of Syracuse University addressed the Society on Applications of entropy to ap­ proximation. Professor Maurice Heins presided and introduced the speaker. There were twenty-six sessions for one hundred seventy con­ tributed papers. Members may wish to know that the number of papers offered for the program was exactly one hundred seventy, the same as the limit set in advance on the number which could be accepted. It was not necessary to turn down any papers for lack of a place on the program. The chairmen of the sessions for contributed papers were Pro­ fessors J. H. Bramble, R. J. Bumcrot, S. S. Cairns, S.

  • Revolutionizing Communication Picture by Picture Sadie Korngold
    The Digital Camera: Revolutionizing Communication Picture by Picture Sadie Korngold-Finkelstein and April Tong Senior Division Group Website Student Composed Website Words: 1199 words Media: 0:00 minutes Process Paper Word Count: 500 1 We chose the topic of how the digital camera revolutionized communication while thinking about the activities that interest us. We both enjoy photography and simultaneously use social media frequently. In the age of technology and cameras, social media is a primary way to communicate with your friends and spread news. At first we wanted to focus our project on the life of the first digital camera’s inventor, Steven Sasson, however, we shifted our project to the digital camera when we realized the bigger long term impacts. The photos everyone scrolls through on Instagram or Facebook are informing the public or their followers about current events or popular topics of the day. These photos were only made possible from the functions of the first digital camera which later transitioned into camera phones, and then smartphones. The majority of our research came from news articles and websites we found on the internet. We used many of The New York Times articles about the digital camera and Steven ​ ​ Sasson since it is a reliable source. In addition, we watched many interviews on Sasson from different sources, such as Kodak, about his process of creating the first digital camera. We aimed for finding sources from when the camera was released and the inventions to follow. For example, we used The New York Times archives to find articles from the day Kodak announced ​ ​ their bankruptcy and when the first camera phone was released.
