ART is Gaining Momentum

Our little resistance movement: ART (Short for ART Resistance Team, note the cool recursive acronym) is shaping up quite nicely. We have created a bunch of A4 sized posters which people have hanging in their offices here at IT-Parken. Rune and I have been putting them on notice boards too. There is no reason for this movement to be constrained to IT-Parken, or even Denmark. If you feel that there is too much fancy pancy arts where you work or study and you would like to see some mathematical/cs beauty, consider downloading the posters and convince people to put them up. You can get them here

If you feel that your particular field of study is missing feel free to send of TeX/METAPOST code of your favourite thing along with a short description and we will add it to the repository.

    Hello there.

    How about the discrete Fourier transform? It’s pretty neat, and its uses are vast and numerous.

    \[
    F(k) = \frac{1}{N}\sum^{N-1}_{n=0}f(n) \cdot \textrm{e}^{-i 2 \pi k \frac{n}{N}},\quad k = 0, 1, \ldots, N-1
    \]

    Great, it has been added. Now start hanging them on you doors :)

    Hmm, I see you changed the scaling into 1/sqrt(N) – I actually used the scaling factor 1/N on purpose, since it yields a nicely normalized series, to reflect my pragmatic approach as an engineer.

    If you do in fact prefer your fancy symmetric ideal scaling factory, just leave it there :o)

    If your original version is more right for you then I’ll change it back monday. :)
