Ajax the lesser - Ajax the lesser Ajax (Gr. Aias), a Greek hero, son of Oileus, king of Locris, called the "lesser" or Locrian Ajax, to distinguish him from Ajax, son of Telamon. He fought on the side of the Greeks during the Trojan War. He is a significant figure in the Iliad and is mentioned in the Odyssey. Homer gives a favorable description of him as a warrior. In spite of his small stature, he held his own amongst the other heroes before Troy; he was brave, next to Achilles in swiftness of foot and famous for throwing the spear. But he was boastful, arrogant and quarrelsome; like the Telamonian Ajax, he was the enemy of Odysseus, and in the end the victim of the vengeance of Athene, who.

La belle Hélčne - and wins three prizes at the competition of the stupid and weak Greek princes, whereupon he reveals his identity. All the world had known that he had awarded the apple to Venus, and Helena recognises him as her destiny. The Trojan prince is crowned victor by Helena, to the disgust of the rough Achilles, and the two giants Ajax the great and Ajax the lesser. Paris is invited to a banquet by the timid Menelaus, husband of Helena. Paris has bribed Calchas to have Philocomus rattle the thunder gong and to prophesy that Menelaus must at once proceed to Crete, in order to save the nation. After parodies on the life of the Greek court, in which the honest Calchas appears as a gambling cheat, Paris comes to Helena at night..

Kepler solid - of faces meeting at all its vertices. (compare to Platonic solids). There are four: greater stellated dodecahedron lesser stellated dodecahedron great dodecahedron great icosahedron The first two are stellations, that is, their faces are concave. The second two have convex faces, but each pair of faces which meet at a vertex in fact does so in two. The Kepler solids were defined by Johannes Kepler in 1619, when he noticed that the stellated dodecahedrons (there are two, a greater and a lesser) were composed of "hidden" dodecadrons (with pentagonal faces) that have faces composed of triangles, and thus look like stylized stars. Wentzel Jamnitzer actually found the great stellated dodecahedron and the great dodecahedron in the 1500s, and Paolo Uccello discovered and drew the lesser stellated dodecadron in the 1400s. Kepler's.
Key of Solomon - book contains several paragraphs and terms inspired by Talmudic texts and Jewish Kabbalah. It is possible that the Key of Solomon inspired posterior works like the Lemegeton, also called The Lesser Key of Solomon, but there are many differences between both books. The only thing that might have inspired the Lemegeton are the conjurations and rituals of purification, and in a less important way, the clothing and magic symbols. The Key of Solomon, divided in two books, contains the conjurations and invocations to summon spirits of the dead (preferably in battle) and spirits from Hell (not specified whether demons or punished souls, but it is understandable from the purpose of the texts that those spirits are demons), and to protect the conjurer (called exorcist in the book) from them and against.

Kiwi - Though they are thought to be most closely related to either cassowaries or moa, their evolutionary origin is still uncertain. Prior to the arrival of humans in about 1300 CE, New Zealand had no mammals, and the ecological niches that in other parts of the world were filled by creatures as diverse as horses, wolves and mice were taken up by birds (and, to a lesser extent, reptiles). Kiwi are shy, nocturnal creatures with a highly developed sense of smell and, most unusually in a bird, nostrils at the end of their long, sharp bill. They feed by thrusting the bill into the ground in search of worms, insects, and other invertebrates; though they also take fruit and, if the opportunity arises, small crayfish, amphibians and eels. Their adaptation to a.
Kirkpatrick Doctrine - justify American support for third world dictatorships with bad human rights records and opposition to communist governments. It is related to the lesser of two evils principle. The Doctrine claimed that the communist states which the United States opposed were totalitarian regimes while the third-world dictatorships which the United States supported were authoritarian ones. The Doctrine further argued that totalitarian regimes were more dangerous because they were more stable than authoritarian regimes, and had a greater propensity to induce neighboring states to in turn adopt dictatorial regimes. In this regard, the Kirkpatrick Doctrine was a natural successor to the domino theory. The Kirkpatrick Doctrine was strongly criticized for justifying United States support for regimes with bad human rights records. Some have argued that the Kirkpatrick Doctrine tenet that totalitarian regimes are.
Knot polynomial - crossings of an oriented knot. Procedure, somewhat informally: 1) Number the knot's crossings, 1âŚN. Prepare an N×N matrix M. (Q: does any ol' diagram do, or does it have to have minimal crossings?) 2) Walk along the knot. As you pass over crossing n, with crossing p on the left and crossing q on the right, add to the matrix: 3) Fill the rest of M with zeros. 4) Drop from M any one row and any one column. 5) Take the determinant of M (this is an Alexander polynomial of the knot). 6) Normalise by dropping all the zero roots and, if the highest-degree coefficient is negative, negating. The result is âtheâ Alexander polynomial of the knot. Example On a trefoil knot: knot crossings n p q 1 2 3.

Kurt Gödel - interest in politics. However after Schlick, whose seminar had aroused Gödel's interest in logic, was murdered by a National Socialist student, Gödel was much affected and had his first nervous breakdown. Visiting the USA In this year he took his first trip to the USA, during which he met Albert Einstein who would become a good friend. He delivered an address to the annual meeting of the American Mathematical Society. During this year he also developed the ideas of computability and recursive functions to the point where he delivered a lecture on general recursive functions and the concept of truth. This work was developed in number theory, using the construction of the Gödel numbers. In 1934 Gödel gave a series of lectures at the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) in Princeton.
