William Carlos Williams

William Carlos Williams has always been known as an experimenter, an innovator, a revolutionary figure in American poetry. Yet in comparison to artists of his own time who sought a new environment for creativity as expatriates in Europe, Williams lived a remarkably conventional life. A doctor for more than forty years serving the New Jersey town of Rutherford, he relied on his patients, the America around him, and his own ebullient imagination to create a distinctively American verse. Often domestic in focus and "remarkable for its empathy, sympathy, its muscular and emotional identification with its subjects," Williams's poetry is Continue reading...

“Can machines think?” – Alan Turing, 1950

This is the one question humans have been asking for decades (even centuries) and it is a topic which has been widely explored until this very moment. This question was posed by Alan Turing in his essay way back in the 1950s. As we all know, one core function of computers nowadays is to enable a systematic automation of processes. These processes pertain to tasks that used to be performed by humans manually. However, computers (and machines) have always worked in a fashion where people command every single move it makes, and therefore the computing world is Continue reading...

Response to Monty Hall Problem

Statistical information is based on the probability of something to happen. Even though it does not depict certainty but just the odds of something to happen, it still holds value in my opinion. If the statistics say odds are 50% or even 75% then I might not get influenced by them, but when it says there is 80% or 90% probability like in the case of disease example and the users of Acme toothpaste then I would consider it is a very healthy trend. It is not advantageous to switch to door 2 after having selected door Continue reading...

This means establishing connections between the facts, establishing meaning, providing evidence, considering the implications and arriving at a level of knowledge with a reasonable degree of certainty. This allows the assemblage of a body of knowledge that can be viewed from different perspectives and provides insight into a topic and how it fits into the Continue reading...

Abstract

Since time immemorial, women have been excluded from participating in a lot of things, be it politics or sports. Although they posses skill and talent, they are being excluded because they are ‘women’. Unfortunately for women, today, they do not receive opportunities like men. Even though the United States of America has made progress with regard to this issue, countries still exclude women from sports. There has been an increase in their participation but it is still not as great as the participation from men. Recently, the United Nations has started using sports as a ‘vehicle’ to eliminate gender Continue reading...
