Claude Elwood Shannon - The most important results [mostly given in the form of theorems with proofs] deal with conditions under which functions of one or more variables can be generated, and conditions under which ordinary differential equations can be solved. Some attention is given to approximation of functions (which cannot be generated exactly), approximation of gear ratios and automatic speed control. Shannon joined AT&T Bell Telephones in New Jersey in 1941 as a research mathematician and remained at the Bell Laboratories until 1972. Johnson writes in [4] that Shannon:- ... became known for keeping to himself by day and riding his unicycle down the halls at night. Shannon published A Mathematical Theory of Communication in the Bell System Technical Journal (1948). This paper founded the subject of information theory and he proposed a linear schematic model of a communications system. This was a new idea. Communication was then thought of as requiring electromagnetic waves to be sent down a wire. The idea that one could transmit pictures, words, sounds etc. by sending a stream of 1's and 0's down a wire, something which today seems so obvious as we take the information from a server in St Andrews, Scotland and view it anywhere in the world, was fundamentally new.

Create a Graph - Have you heard the saying: 'A picture is worth a thousand words'? - B. Taylor ... Graphs and charts are great because they communicate information visually. For this reason, graphs are often used in newspapers, magazines and businesses around the world. NCES constantly uses graphs and charts in our publications and on the web. Sometimes, complicated information is difficult to understand and needs an illustration. Other times, a graph or chart helps impress people by getting your point across quickly and visually.

John Tukey Statistician; Coined the Word 'Software' - John Tukey, 85, Statistician; Coined the Word 'Software' John Wilder Tukey, one of the most influential statisticians of the last 50 years and a wide-ranging thinker credited with inventing the word ''software,'' died on Wednesday in New Brunswick, N.J. He was 85. The cause was a heart attack after a short illness, said Phyllis Anscombe, his sister-in-law. Mr. Tukey developed important theories about how to analyze data and compute series of numbers quickly. He spent decades as both a professor at Princeton University and a researcher at AT&T's Bell Laboratories, and his ideas continue to be a part of both doctoral statistics courses and high school math classes. In 1973, President Richard M. Nixon awarded him the National Medal of Science.

Save Images from the Web: An Introduction - The Web has millions of photographs, drawings, and graphics that you can 'grab' and save to your computer. This lesson will teach you how to save images using either a Netscape (N) or Internet Explorer (IE) browser. You can then email them to friends or use them on your computer.
Saving complete Web pages - Older versions of Internet Explorer have allowed you to view the source HTML code of a page and to save that page as a file on your local drive. However, that didn't save the graphics from the page or any other files used within the page, which meant that if you loaded the file back from the local disk, you would see broken image links. You could save the graphics files separately by right clicking on a graphic and choosing Saving picture as... which would save the file to a specified location. This though didn't solve the problem because the filename links within the HTML file wouldn't be fulfilled on the local drive.

Chris's ASCII Art - This page features a collection of ASCII artwork. ASCII (ask'-ee) stands for 'American Standard Code for Information Interchange.' This standard was developed by the American National Standards Institute. It's basically a table of numbers and their corresponding symbols. We all know that the only things computers send back and forth to each other are zeros and ones. Using ASCII as a standard, a computer can send a series of zeros and ones in a certain order and the other computer will know that it signifies a certain letter of the alphabet. ASCII covers letters, numbers, and certain control codes. It doesn't cover graphics. Essentially, ASCII artwork denotes artwork that is created without using graphics at all. Its palette is limited to the symbols and characters that you have available to you on your computer keyboard. It started back in the old days of computers. Most computers didn't even display graphics. So, people got creative with text and ASCII Artwork was born! Some say ASCII art is dead, but if it were, this site wouldn't receive 20,000-27,000 hits per month.
..ASCII GRAPHICAL TECHNIQUES V1.0.. - Producing pictures from ascii is such a strange idea, and yet the results can sometimes be quite impressive. Although there are a many different forms of ascii art, they all use basically the same ideas to produce the end result.

GIF vs. JPG--Which Is Best? - One of the most important and difficult concepts to learn about digital imaging is which format is best for displaying graphics and photos on the web. Unfortunately, there are no clear cut answers to this question. It depends on the image to be displayed. There are two important factors to consider: file size and image quality. Currently there are only 2 widely supported formats [GIF and JPG] that will display on the web. There is another up-and-coming format [PNG] which is only supported by the leading browsers in version 4 and above. Right now, let's not worry about the PNG format. Let's compare some GIF and JPG images to get a feel for which format works best for what type of images--generally speaking, of course, because there are always exceptions.

Purple is not a primary color because it can be created through combining equal parts of blue and red. Read on please...

Adding MIDI to Your Site - The easiest way to include MIDI on your page is to just link to the file — ...a href equals 'stuff/stairway_to_heaven.mid'... When the user hits that link, the browser should automatically start playing it with one of its many built-in audio players (like QuickTime or Windows Media Player or whatever). You can also have the file play right there on your page by using the embed tag. It's like placing an image, except it's a sound file: embed src equals 'stuff/stairway_to_heaven.mid'... Many browsers will load a little audio toolbar in the page itself, allowing visitors to stop and start the file at will. You can modify the defaults with a number of embed attributes, such as height, width, autostart, hidden, loop, and controls...Read on...

DTP by Internet Brothers... - With the advent of the personal computer, there has been a proliferation of desktop publishing software enabling the aspiring artist to create presentations, brochures, posters, business cards and a wide variety of materials needed to run a business or advertise a garage sale. Here, we'll attempt to provide some pointers so that your desktop publishing projects will have the best look possible without spending years in design school.
Desktop Publishing--Don't Forget Punctuation by Internet Brothers - Use real apostrophes and quotation marks. Never use all capital letters for emphasis. Be sure that your DTP software is set to auto-hyphenate where necessary and left justification looks just fine. Watch out for widows, words left by themselves on the last line of a paragraph. Use simple frames, white space, or a different font to separate a particular element from the rest of your copy.
Desktop Publishing--Not a Typewriter by Internet Brothers - Desktop Publishing: a term that makes professional graphic artists and typographers cringe at the thought of lousy home made amateur art work. We at Internet Brothers believe that businesses and individuals who need to create and produce printed materials, whether they be promotional pieces or business forms, should consider hiring graphics professionals for these needs. After all, a lot of training and experience is required to design printed pieces that look appealing, get the message across, and give a necessary first-rate impression. Never double space between sentences. Typically you should never use more than three different fonts on a page, and most times two is plenty. Instead, make use of bold and italic versions of your fonts for prominence, and perhaps another stylized font for headlines. Never, never underline type.

Gestalt and Design - Observing organization of parts or relating the elements of a design to a whole is the basis of gestalt theory as it addresses human visual perception. Our minds wants to see order and will create it out of chaos if necessary. If the designer gives a sense of some pattern in an image, the viewer will naturally create a sense of unity and if no unity can be found the viewer will likely ignore the design.

So, You Want A Java Applet, Huh!? - What Is Java Anyway? Java, sometimes called HotJava, is an object-oriented programming language created by Sun Microsystems.
