During a conversation with a native, I used the following sentence 試験があるから１月の第3週を待っています。 To mean "Since there is an exam, I'm waiting for the 3rd week of January". My sentence was corrected to 試験がある １月の第3週を待っています。 Which, according to the other person, sounds more natural. Now, I'm bewildered ...

I'm curious about the historical origin of the use of the word "card" in "expansion card." "Expansion board" makes sense, given it's a PCB, and a PCB is a board (of fibreglass for example). But "card" seems a bit esoteric. Did this terminology originate from the physical resemblance to punch card...

In short, Russel's Paradox for Naive Set Theory (i.e., the fact that the question of whether "the set containing all sets that do not contain themselves" contains itself leads to a contradiction) inspired people to develop formal set theories like ZF(C).

If $Q(x) = x^T A x$ with $x \in GF(2)^n$ and $A \in GF(2)^{n \times n}$ is there a way to find how many roots $Q(x)$ has based on any properties or $A$ (eg rank, etc)?

This summer we went through potty-training with our daughter (26 months at the time).

In Stein and Shakarchi's Fourier Analysis, they often invoke the fact that differentiation with respect to time commutes with the Fourier transform with respect to space variables. For example, on page 147 (Chapter 5, Proof of Theorem 2.1(i)), they show that $u(x, t) = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} \h...

The Principle of Sufficient Reason is simply stated: “For every fact F, there must be an explanation why F is the case” (Melamed and Lin 2016, §1). The principle is most closely associated with Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (Melamed and Lin 2016, §3), although forms of the principle first appeared in...

The terms "gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw" are obviously symbolic of works built on the foundation of Christ. What works survive the fire and what works burn up? Do the Scripture identify these (can be answered), or can it only be based on opinion (no valid answer for here)?
