FactChecker replied to the thread Applied Math PhD candidate but I hate group theory.I have a fondness for Abstract Algebra (but not much ability). It answers the question: "Given the most basic, minimal assumptions about... -
FactChecker replied to the thread Applied Math PhD candidate but I hate group theory.You might want to look at the requirements for entering into the PhD program at the University and field of your choice. I would be...

FactChecker replied to the thread B Here's a Statistics problem for game of Polo (or Hockey if you like).So it seems as though your hypothesis may be wrong. Perhaps the success of a team tends to depend on having a superstar player whose...

FactChecker replied to the thread Finding the nth roots of a complex number.By the time one takes complex analysis, he should be comfortable leaving it as ##\sqrt 2##. Leave the approximation accuracy for the...

We all ef up from time to time. :woot: -

Informative.
It was more about the scope of typical application. X86 got lot of programmers since it was a widely used open platform. The RISC... -
FactChecker replied to the thread Learning Assembly and computer architecture for x86.Thanks! AAARRRRRGGGGHHHH! I hereby disqualify myself from any further comments on this subject.

The instructions are not necessarily one cycle. See this reference for cycle times for one version of ARM, a RISC assembly language --...

FactChecker reacted to difalcojr's post in the thread Thank you to mentors, advisors and members with
Love.
I want to thank those members who interacted with me a couple of years ago in two Optics Forum threads. They were @Drakkith, @hutchphd... -
FactChecker replied to the thread Learning Assembly and computer architecture for x86.Thanks for clarifying. I conclude that I was just confused about RISK. The demand for programmers when RISK began was probably just part...

No, nothing like that. You don't have to keep track of time. That sounds more like low-level real-time programming, as a guess. I don't...

FactChecker replied to the thread Learning Assembly and computer architecture for x86.I got the (maybe incorrect) impression that RISC programming was harder when there was a great shortage of RISK programmers. Maybe the...

RISC (reduced instruction set computing) instruction sets are smaller than those for CISC (complex instruction set computing), which is...

FactChecker replied to the thread Learning Assembly and computer architecture for x86.To be more precise, an assembly language is matched to the architecture that it runs on. Different architecture has a different assembly...

FactChecker replied to the thread Learning Assembly and computer architecture for x86.I think the difference between RISK versus CISK is more significant than that.
