Lately, there has been a lot of discussion on the nature of invention
in circuit design.  It turns out that the big names in mate and
physics have had similar experiences and use similar approaches.

Jacques Hadamard wrote a book on this, which is available online (see
the first reference in the Wiki).

Who was Hadamard?  Let me put it this way:  He was an insider at the
Einstein level in the development of Quantum Mechanics and Relativity,
and could just call up all the big names of his day on the phone.

Best known for the Hadamard transform patterns of 0 and 1 that can be
used to form an orthogonal basis set also called Walsh functions.

Used in lossless image compression and error correction on some
satellite probes. I first encountered them as Walsh transforms.

His work in this field could yet become fantastically important again
if large scale quantum computing ever really takes off.


Way to offend a mathematician, mucking up their beautiful mathematics
with talk of pedestrian stuff like \"applications.\"

\"Nice equation, but what is it _good_ for?\"

mathematician rage level increases

Having known a lot of mathematicians, that is an exaggeration
in the same vein as claiming that electronic engineers fume
when people ask why they need 8.5 digit voltmeters.

But you know that.

Wow. You are a 24/7 hate machine. Do you actually ever enjoy life?
Without exploiting other people for fun, I mean.
