"On the Shoulders of Giants" A brief excursion into the history of mathematical programming

Rainer Tichatschke (2012)

Discussiones Mathematicae, Differential Inclusions, Control and Optimization

Similar to many mathematical fields also the topic of mathematical programming has its origin in applied problems. But, in contrast to other branches of mathematics, we don't have to dig too deeply into the past centuries to find their roots. The historical tree of mathematical programming, starting from its conceptual roots to its present shape, is remarkably short, and to quote Isaak Newton, we can say: "We are standing on the shoulders of giants". The goal of...

Ongoing Efforts to Generate “Tagged PDF” using pdfTeX

Moore, Ross (2009)

Towards a Digital Mathematics Library. Grand Bend, Ontario, Canada, July 8-9th, 2009

Recently PDF has been accepted as a standard for production of electronic documents, as ISO 32000-1:2008, with an acronym of PDF/UA (for “Universal Accessibility”). The second draft ISO 32000-2:2009 is to include specifications for including MathML tagging of mathematical environments and expressions. This talk presents a report on work-in-progress, aimed at: developing the primitive commands for pdfTeX needed to support the production of fully tagged PDF documents; writing appropriate TeX and...
