Unlike elsewhere in Beckett's work, no bicycle appears in this play, but Hugh Kenner in his essay " The Cartesian Centaur " reports that Beckett once, when asked about the meaning of Godot, mentioned " a veteran racing cyclist, bald, a ' stayer ,' recurrent placeman in town-to-town and national championships, Christian name elusive, surname Godeau, pronounced, of course, no differently from Godot.

Although better known for his philosophical work, Malebranche made some notable contributions to physics, working within a broadly Cartesian framework but nevertheless prepared to depart from Descartes where necessary.

Clarke's work as a whole has been regarded as an attempt to present the doctrines of the Cartesian school in a form which would not shock the conscience of his time.

His early mathematical work revolved around the vis viva controversy, for which Maupertuis developed and extended the work of Isaac Newton ( whose theories were not yet widely accepted outside England ) and argued against the waning Cartesian mechanics.

His work has won the Hugo Award ( for the novel Spin ), the John W. Campbell Memorial Award ( for the novel The Chronoliths ), the Theodore Sturgeon Memorial Award ( for the novelette " The Cartesian Theater "), three Aurora Awards ( for the novels Blind Lake and Darwinia, and the short work " The Perseids "), and the Philip K. Dick Award ( for the novel Mysterium ).

In mathematics, homogeneous coordinates, introduced by August Ferdinand Möbius in his 1827 work Der barycentrische Calcül, are a system of coordinates used in projective geometry much as Cartesian coordinates are used in Euclidean geometry.

His latest work of fiction, Cartesian Sonata and Other Novellas, was published in 1998.

For reasons of convenience, many Gaussian integral evaluation programs work in a basis of Cartesian Gaussians even when spherical Gaussians are requested: the ' contaminants ' are deleted a posteriori.

* René Descartes introduces the Cartesian coordinate system in his work La Géométrie and promotes intellectual rigour in Discours de la méthode pour bien conduire sa raison, et chercher la vérité dans les sciences ( published in Leiden ).

Supporter of a Cartesian juridical order, Domat builds a work of private law hard marked by a Jusnaturaliste and Romanist footprint.

European social psychologists also applied Bakhtin's work to the study of human social experience, preferring it as a more dynamic alternative to Cartesian monologicality.

He is best known for his work L ' homme machine (" Machine man "), wherein he rejected the Cartesian dualism of mind and body, and proposed the metaphor of the human being as machine.

He was one of the followers of René Descartes who tried to work out more detailed versions of a generally Cartesian philosophy.

Lewis Call has attempted to develop post-anarchist theory through the work of Friedrich Nietzsche, rejecting the Cartesian concept of the " subject.

For example, using Cartesian coordinates on the plane, the distance between two points ( x < sub > 1 </ sub >, y < sub > 1 </ sub >) and ( x < sub > 2 </ sub >, y < sub > 2 </ sub >) is defined by the formula

In his early works, Steiner sought to overcome what he perceived as the dualism of Cartesian idealism and Kantian subjectivism by developing Goethe's conception of the human being as a natural-supernatural entity, that is: natural in that humanity is a product of nature, supernatural in that through our conceptual powers we extend nature's realm, allowing it to achieve a reflective capacity in us as philosophy, art and science.

A function from the set of real numbers to the real numbers can be represented by a graph in the Cartesian plane ; the function is continuous if, roughly speaking, the graph is a single unbroken curve with no " holes " or " jumps ".

* Cartesian dualism, the philosophy of the distinction between mind and body developed by René Descartes

A forerunner of the modern ideas of cyberspace is the Cartesian notion that people might be deceived by an evil demon that feeds them a false reality.

Thus, u < sub > ρ </ sub > and u < sub > θ </ sub > form a local Cartesian coordinate system attached to the particle, and tied to the path traveled by the particle.

A Cartesian coordinate system specifies each point uniquely in a plane by a pair of numerical coordinates, which are the signed distances from the point to two fixed perpendicular directed lines, measured in the same unit of length.

One can use the same principle to specify the position of any point in three-dimensional space by three Cartesian coordinates, its signed distances to three mutually perpendicular planes ( or, equivalently, by its perpendicular projection onto three mutually perpendicular lines ).

In general, one can specify a point in a space of any dimension n by use of n Cartesian coordinates, the signed distances from n mutually perpendicular hyperplanes.

The invention of Cartesian coordinates in the 17th century by René Descartes ( Latinized name: Cartesius ) revolutionized mathematics by providing the first systematic link between Euclidean geometry and algebra.

Using the Cartesian coordinate system, geometric shapes ( such as curves ) can be described by Cartesian equations: algebraic equations involving the coordinates of the points lying on the shape.

The development of the Cartesian coordinate system would play an intrinsic role in the development of the calculus by Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz.

The modern Cartesian coordinate system in two dimensions ( also called a rectangular coordinate system ) is defined by an ordered pair of perpendicular lines ( axes ), a single unit of length for both axes, and an orientation for each axis.

A three dimensional Cartesian coordinate system, with origin O and axis lines X, Y and Z, oriented as shown by the arrows.

The axes of a two-dimensional Cartesian system divide the plane into four infinite regions, called quadrants, each bounded by two half-axes.

To make a figure larger or smaller is equivalent to multiplying the Cartesian coordinates of every point by the same positive number m. If ( x, y ) are the coordinates of a point on the original figure, the corresponding point on the scaled figure has coordinates

A point in space in a Cartesian coordinate system may also be represented by a position vector, which can be thought of as an arrow pointing from the origin of the coordinate system to the point.

For example, a point on the unit circle in the plane can be specified by two Cartesian coordinates, but one can make do with a single coordinate ( the polar coordinate angle ), so the circle is 1-dimensional even though it exists in the 2-dimensional plane.

Then the Cartesian product set D < sub > 1 </ sub > D < sub > 2 </ sub > can be made into a directed set by defining ( n < sub > 1 </ sub >, n < sub > 2 </ sub >) ≤ ( m < sub > 1 </ sub >, m < sub > 2 </ sub >) if and only if n < sub > 1 </ sub > ≤ m < sub > 1 </ sub > and n < sub > 2 </ sub > ≤ m < sub > 2 </ sub >.

" Let X be the unit Cartesian square ×, and let ~ be the equivalence relation on X defined by ∀ a, b ∈ (( a, 0 ) ~ ( a, 1 ) ∧ ( 0, b ) ~ ( 1, b )).

Chomsky even wrote a book entitled Cartesian Linguistics.

By comparison Whorf's other work in linguistics, the development of such concepts as the allophone and the cryptotype, and the formulation of " Whorf's law " in Uto-Aztecan historical linguistics, have met with broad acceptance.

Sapir also encouraged Whorf to continue his work on the historical and descriptive linguistics of Uto-Aztecan.

Computational linguists often work as members of interdisciplinary teams, including linguists ( specifically trained in linguistics ), language experts ( persons with some level of ability in the languages relevant to a given project ), and computer scientists.

The work of French philosopher and social theorist, Michel Foucault has been utilized in a variety of disciplines, such as history, philosophy, anthropology, sociology, psychology, and linguistics.

A most prolific writer, he published a string of grammars, several dictionaries, comparative work, and a history of Bantu linguistics.

To demonstrate the indeterminacy of legal doctrine, these scholars often adopts a method, such as structuralism in linguistics or deconstruction in continental philosophy, to make explicit the deep structure of categories and tensions at work in legal texts and talk.

He studied Germanic linguistics at Columbia, where he came under the influence of Franz Boas who inspired him to work on Native American languages.

He was offered a professorship at the University of Chicago, and stayed for several years continuing to work for the professionalization of the discipline of linguistics.

Although noted for his work on American linguistics, Sapir wrote prolifically in linguistics in general.

In a broad sense the theories implicit in most work within descriptive linguistics and linguistic typology fit within the category of functional linguistics.

He initially wanted to do missionary work in China ; when this was denied him, went on in 1935 to study linguistics with Summer Institute of Linguistics ( S. I. L .).

As well as and in parallel with his role at SIL, Pike spent thirty years at the University of Michigan, during which time he served as chairman of its linguistics department, professor of linguistics, and director of its English Language Institute ( he did pioneering work in the field of English language learning and teaching )

Bloomfield's approach to linguistics was characterized by its emphasis on the scientific basis of linguistics, adherence to behaviorism especially in his later work, and emphasis on formal procedures for the analysis of linguistic data.

It is argued that Bloomfield's Indo-European work had two broad implications: " He stated clearly the theoretical bases for Indo-European linguistics ..."; and "... he established the study of Indo-European languages firmly within general linguistics ...."

As the course outlines of his Sorbonne lectures indicate, during this period he continues a dialogue between phenomenology and the diverse work carried out in psychology, all in order to return to the study of the acquisition of language in children, as well as to broadly take advantage of the contribution of Ferdinand de Saussure to linguistics, and to work on the notion of structure through a discussion of work in psychology, linguistics and social anthropology.
