Re: WHY SCIENCE IS NOT PART OF CULTURE

Science is about analysis and rational thought, its about the objective
critical understandings of the world, the biggest and the smallest part.
Culture is about control, directed emotions, beliefs, shared responses.
The thoughtful in a sea of superficial volatile emotions, is a woose,
a geek, if he's lucky, or a gay, if he's not. Thought seen in terms the

Both x-vectors are solutions of the LP problem since
they satisfy the constraints and minimize the objective
function.
The fact that the first solution gives a solution
to the min-problem and the second does not
shows that LP-formulation and min-problem are not
equivalent.

I don't know how likely it would be for two seeds to produce
overlap in a short time. But I like using seeds that I've
almost surely never used before. I happen to use
the Mersenne Twister algorithm, but getting new
"random" seeds is always good for any algorithm.

Ron asks an interesting question, and I think you shoot from the hip and
may have missed on this one.
First of all, when crossposted to clc and sci.math, there is no
"standard" that does not require disambiquity. Given what it is, we
might say "the C standard" when talking about C, or its lurking uncle,

I cannot get this answer. Although I am trying to find more
information, I am new to LP and Matlab. The following is my code
f = [1;1;1;1;0;0]
A = [ 0 -1 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 -1 0
0 0 0 0 0 -1];
b = [-3;-5;-5];
Aeq = [ -1 -1 0 0 1 0
0 0 -1 -1 0 1];
Beq = [0;0]
lb = zeros(6,1)
[x, fval, exitflag, output, lambda] = linprog(f,A,b,Aeq,Beq,lb);

That is true, but there are some assumptions. Since the
standard doesn't say much at all about the underlying algorithm,
it isn't so reliable a statement as it seems.
For one, many PRNGs have poor performance with some starting seeds,
or poor performance for some cycles, especially as viewed from

You can subtract 2**32, or find two values to IOR together.

Looks like I invented some new terms here of:

decomposition into picket-fences
of Calculus.
(b) Pseudocircle to signify the name of the object formed from the
circle inside a square
and which is put together as a 4 pointed star shape.
But an interesting question is whether the 2D pseudocircle is related
