One outlines here in brief how the work of $Gian Carlo Rota$ had influenced my group research and life, starting from the end of the last century up to present time state of $The Internet Gian Carlo Rota Polish Seminar$. This note has been…
A portrait of Kurt Goedel with emphasis on his work on relativity theory and idealistic philosophy.
This chapter introduces flood and drought through the understanding of the water cycle. In addition to the water cycle, we consider the energy cycle. The floods and droughts have strong regional and seasonal characteristics. The causes of…
The waterfall model, one of the earliest software development methodologies, has played a foundational role in shaping contemporary software engineering practices. This paper provides a historical and critical overview of the model, tracing…
Problems for evaluation and impact of published scientific works and their authors are discussed. The role of citations in this process is pointed out. Different bibliometric indicators are reviewed in this connection and ways for…

This note is the written version of conversations with young colleagues on unofficial history, general ideas, unexpected facts and open problems concerning tilting theory.
Much has been said lately about entrepreneurship, so it seems important to leave here some personal analysis on this topic. The issues outlined here result from a work in about a year in which because a personal and professional obligations…
Riemann's mathematical papers contain many ideas that arise from physics, and some of them are motivated by problems from physics. In fact, it is not easy to separate Riemann's ideas in mathematics from those in physics. Furthermore,…
This paper is a comment to M Wilkinson, EPL 106 (2014) 40001, arXiv:1401.4620 [physics.ao-ph,cond-mat.soft], which draws conclusion from our data that are at variance with our observations.
A bibliographic database containing studies on recurrence plots and related methods is analyzed from various perspectives. This allows a detailed view of the field's development, showcasing the continuous growth in the method's popularity,…
A continuously evolving geography requires a good understanding in networks. As such, this paper accounts for theories and applications of complex networks and their role both in geography in general, as well as in determining various…
This work presents the current collection of mathematical models related to neural networks and proposes a new family of such with extended structure and dynamics in order to attain a selection of cognitive capabilities. It starts by…
We develop in detail most of the theory of the Picard scheme that Grothendieck sketched in two Bourbaki talks and in commentaries on them. Also, we review in brief much of the rest of the theory developed by Grothendieck and by others. But…
This article gives a brief review of the history of data journalism, as well as the prerequisites for its appearance. The authors describe the advantages of employing data-journalism skills in the newsrooms. Finally, the article provides a…
The state of the superfluid He-II theory is briefly surveyed - some aspects of its history, achievements, and unsolved problems.
This paper discusses why P and NP are likely to be different. It analyses the essence of the concepts and points out that P and NP might be diverse by sheer definition. It also speculates that P and NP may be unequal due to natural laws.
A few remarks on integrable dynamical systems inspired by discussions with Jurgen Moser and by his work.
This paper is concerned with the history of Rosenbrock-Wanner methods first initiated by Rosenbrock in 1963. His original ideas are highlighted and the main developments over 56 years are reviewed.
In order to undestand how the complex concept of entropy emerged,we propose a trip towards the past reviewing the works of Clausius, Boltzmann, Gibbs and Planck. In particular, since the Gibbs's work is not very well known, we present a…
