Although the issue of existence and uniqueness of solutions of ordinary differential equations has a very satisfactory answer with the Picard – Lindelöf theorem, that is far from the case for partial differential equations.

Picard asks many questions which Ronin does not want to answer and finally Ronin attacks Picard who falls down on the floor.

Q congratulates Picard for being able to think in multiple timelines simultaneously in order to solve the puzzle, which is proof that humanity can still evolve, much to the surprise of the Q Continuum.

Picard and Data realize that Soran is altering the path of the ribbon by collapsing stars, and determine that Soran will attempt to reenter the Nexus on Veridian III by destroying its star — and, by extension, a heavily-populated planet in the system.

In the series finale, " All Good Things ...", Q gives Picard a " helping hand " in saving humanity by helping him figure out what is causing " anti-time " to flow into the universe which will invariably stop humanity from ever being born.

In a scene deleted from the movie, Captain Picard asks Wesley if he's excited to serve on board the USS Titan ( Captain Riker's ship ), and Wesley tells him that he will be running the night shift in Engineering.

Throughout the mystery, the player will often encounter characters from the Star Trek universe, including Captain Picard and Commander Data.

Gowron ( Klingon-ghawran ) first appears in the episode " Reunion " as the main rival of Duras for the succession of the post of Klingon Chancellor K ' mpec, who suspects that one of the two had been poisoning him and appoints Captain Jean-Luc Picard as " Arbiter of Succession " to determine who will follow him.

As the crew watches the reunion of the alien creatures, Q reluctantly tells Picard that they have succeeded in their test, but hints that they will meet again.

While Wesley meets his fellow cadets who will be taking the exam with him, Captain Picard greets his personal friend Admiral Quinn and his assistant Lieutenant Commander Remmick aboard the Enterprise.

Gowron informs Picard that the House of Duras will challenge Gowron's position and may lead to a Klingon civil war.

Picard is aware that while he cannot get involved in the Klingon civil war, the Romulans will likely see it as an opportunity to gain an advantage over the Federation, and is put in charge of a fleet of ships to create a blockade between the Klingon and Romulan border.

Picard urges Gowron to attack the Duras forces who are running low on supplies ; this will force the Romulans to enter the detection network and be caught by Starfleet.

The gap between French which is itself a dialect of langue d ' oïl and the varieties of langues d ' oïl, which today we would call " French dialects ," has continued to widen ; Franc-comtois, Walloon, Picard, Norman, Gallo, Poitevin, Saintongeais, Bourguignon-morvandiau, Lorrain must be accepted among the regional languages of France ; by placing them on the list French regional languages, they will be known from then on as langues d ' oïl.

Picard assures him that all questions will be answered " in good time ", but that their current situation is very tense and requires Picard's full attention.

Picard decides that an incursion into Romulan space will be necessary to find Spock, so the Enterprise travels to Qo ' noS to gain access to a cloaked ship.

They are aware that Picard has infiltrated Romulus and will circulate his image.

When Picard pushes him further, he states " I will not assist you ," shocking Picard with his use of the first person singular, and prompting the captain to reconsider his plans.

In the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode " All Good Things ...", Q brings Jean-Luc Picard to Earth, presumably to the point on the proto-Eurasian continent which one day would become France, and shows the USS Enterprise-D captain the " spark of life ", which in this alternate timeline does not combine into what Q says will ultimately become Humanity.

Picard believes that Worf's actions as a Starfleet officer in his father's defense will be of significant interest to the Federation and directs the Enterprise to the Klingon homeworld so they may monitor the events.

K ' mpec, Picard, and Worf agree that the only course of action for Worf is to accept a discommendation, tantamount to admitting his father's guilt ; in exchange, the knowledge of the proceedings, including Kurn's true bloodlines, will be covered up.

Picard tells Moriarty that this would not be possible ; instead, he saves the program and tells Moriarty that if they ever discover a way to convert Holodeck matter into a permanent form they will bring him back.

As the double is boarding the shuttlecraft, Picard proclaims that the cycle will be broken and fires at him with a phaser.

Q reveals that he is the cause of Picard's time jumping, and challenges Picard to solve the mystery of the anomaly, cryptically stating that Picard will destroy humanity.

Galen, however, will not tell him about what he has found unless Picard agrees to go with him, which means leaving the Enterprise and his career in Starfleet behind.

In his debut, " Encounter at Farpoint ", Picard and the Enterprise crew are put on trial arguing that humanity is a dangerous race and should be destroyed.

However, the entire French-speaking population of Wallonia cannot be culturally considered Walloon, since a significant portion in the west ( around Tournai and Mons ) and smaller portions in the extreme south ( around Arlon ) possess other languages as mother tongues ( namely, Picard, Champenois, Luxembourgish, and Lorrain ).

When contamination became too serious to be fixed by memory erasures, Captain Picard decided to make direct contact with a civilization's leaders in " Who Watches the Watchers " and " First Contact ," although the latter episode involved a planet on the verge of achieving warp flight, and therefore eligible for First Contact.

In the Star Trek: The Next Generation installment " Sarek ," when the diplomat proves to have Bendii's syndrome and thus to be incapable of completing his last great mission without assistance, he executes a mind meld with Captain Jean-Luc Picard, gaining enough emotional stability from this to complete his mission — but Picard himself almost goes insane from the direct onslaught of Sarek's powerful emotions as a result.

After watching Yar cross a minefield to save a colonist, Jean-Luc Picard requested that she be assigned to his next command.

Although Porthos isn't the first domesticated pet to be featured in a Star Trek series ( Data owned a cat, Spot, in Star Trek: The Next Generation and Captain Jean-Luc Picard owned a lionfish named Livingston ), Porthos has the distinction of being the first pet to maintain an ongoing presence in the series, and even-as illustrated above-become the focus of an episode.

The July 21st, 1952 issue of The Canberra Times newspaper printed a front page article in which Mr. Picard claimed it would be possible for humans to fly to Mars with balloons as early as 1954, if anyone was willing to invest $ 250, 000.

Captain Jean-Luc Picard of Star Trek is named for one or both of him and his twin brother Auguste-in fact, it was sometimes hinted that the character may be descended from the scientist.

Near the end when Picard is about to be brought back to his crew, he defiantly declares, once again, " There are four lights !".

At a meeting of the Royal Society on 11 January 1672, Oldenburg, the secretary, read a letter from Paris describing the procedure followed by Jean Picard in measuring a degree, and specifically stating the precise length that he calculated it to be.

Justman wanted Stewart in the show in some capacity, and with Roddenberry opposing him as Picard, Justman suggested that he might be a good fit instead for Data.

Relying on Klingon law, Picard comes to the conclusion that Toral is too inexperienced to be Leader.

Gowron gives Worf the opportunity to kill Toral by Rite of Vengeance, but he declines to do so, sparing his life, and requests Picard that he be reinstated.

Realising that the temporal loop must be closed he asks the other Picard to go back in time to the exact time and place to prevent the ambassador's assimilation.

The geographical spread of Picard and Chtimi among the Langues d ' oïl | Oïl languages ( other than French ) can be seen in shades of green and yellow on this map.

Picard later comments that while the encounter went favourably, the Romulans may be a significant threat in future engagements.

The Abel-Jacobi theorem states that the torus thus built is a variety, the classical Jacobian of a curve, that indeed parametrizes the degree 0 line bundles, that is, it can be identified with its Picard variety of degree 0 divisors modulo linear equivalence.

For varieties of higher dimension the construction of the Jacobian variety as a quotient of the space of holomorphic 1-forms generalizes to give the Albanese variety, but in general this need not be isomorphic to the Picard variety.
