Semper – El Estilo: Carpintería de madera, aspectos técnicos

La construcción de barras, en madera

Es característico de nuestra época maderil que en la arquitectura entienda mejor al estilo de la madera y a veces produzca en él obras verdaderamente notables, mientras nuestro arte monumental revela un grado de limitación y desorientación sin precedentes. Este fenómeno se explica por sí mismo, ya que el tipo de arquitectura que consiste en el tratamiento decorativo de las construcciones de madera, que tuvo oportunidad de desarrollarse en los edificios livianos y de grandes luces de la industria y de los ferrocarriles, es en principio estrictamente no monumental.

A brief introduction to Rational Trigonometry

N. J. Wildberger

Euclid does not deal directly with distance. The ancient Greeks understood the meaning of saying two segments in the same direction were in the ratio `three to two’, but they did not have a direct notion of distance, because that would have entailed an understanding of real numbers, which they did not have. Similarly, Euclid does not measure angle. To him, an angle was just the geometrical configuration consisting of two intersecting lines. In fact the modern notion of `radian measure’ is only a little more than a hundred years old.

Doubling the cube

There are three classical problems in Greek mathematics which were extremely important in the development of geometry. These problems were those of squaring the circle, doubling the cube and trisecting an angle. Although these are closely linked, we choose to examine them in separate articles. The present article studies the problem of doubling the cube, or duplicating the cube, or the Delian problem which are three different names given to the same classical problem. It is fair to say that although the problem of squaring the circle was to become the most famous in more modern times, certainly among amateur mathematicians, the problem of doubling the cube was certainly the more famous in the time of the ancient Greeks.

Personalization versus Mass Customization — A review of the definitions – Mass Customization

The starting point for mass customization and personalization fundamentally is the same: To turn customers’ heterogeneous needs into a competitive advantage. Or, as Bas Possen, a Dutch mass customization pioneer states his as the vision of his company (customax.com): “In general, too little use is made of the advantage that all people are different.”
