  1. Rosser

    The Surname Rosser It has been suggested that the surname Rosser was derived from the Welsh ap Rhosyr meaning man of the moors . However, the name almost certainly has the same Norman English Welsh origins as Prosser see the section on the origins of this name . Although there were records of ap Rossers son of Rosser from 1400 onwards, the name Rosser without the prefix ap was not commonly used until the 19th Century. Most of Rossers then recorded lived in the Monmouthshire and Glamorganshire industrial valleys. TGP 2010. Eminent Rossers J. Allyn Rosser , poet J.

  1. Rosser's trick

    For the theorem about the sparseness of prime numbers, see Rosser s theorem . For a general introduction to the incompleteness theorems, see G del s incompleteness theorems . In mathematical logic , Rosser s trick is a method for proving G del s incompleteness theorems without the assumption that the theory being considered is Omega consistency &omega consistent Smorynski 1977, p.  840 Mendelson 1977, p. 160 . This method was introduced by J. Barkley Rosser in 1936, as an improvement of G del s original proof of the incompleteness theorems that was published in 1931. While G del s original proof uses a sentence that says informally This sentence is not provable , Rosser s trick uses a formula that says If this sentence is provable, there is a shorter proof of its negation . Background Rosser s trick begins with the assumptions of G del s incompleteness theorem. A theory T is selected which is effective, consistent, and includes a sufficient fragment of elementary arithmetic. G del s proof shows that for any such theory there is a formula Proof x , y which has the intended meaning that x is a natural number code a G del number for a proof, y is a G del number for a formula, and x is a proof, from the axioms of T , of the formula encoded by y . In the remainder of this article, no distinction is made between the number y and the formula encoded by y , and the number coding a formula ... consistent , not merely consistent.

  1. Rosser Reeves

    Rosser Reeves 10 September 1910 24 January 1984 was a hugely successful United states American advertising executive and pioneer of television advertising . He believed the purpose of advertising is to sell. He insisted that an advertisement or commercial should show off the value of a product, not the cleverness of a copywriter. His most typical ad is probably that for Anacin , a headache medicine. The ad was considered grating and annoying by almost all viewers but it was remarkably successful, tripling the product s sales. In 7 years the 59 second commercial made more money than the movie Gone With The Wind had in a quarter century. Reeves generated millions for his clients, the Ted Bates executive Ted Bates agency where he rose to chairman existing today as Bates 141 . The AMC program, Mad Men , uses Reeves as one model for the professional accomplishments of the series protagonist, Don Draper Jon Hamm . His ads were focused around what he called the unique selling proposition , the one reason the product needed to be bought or was better than its competitors. These often took the form of slogan s Reeves oversaw the introduction of dozens, some that still exist to this day, such as M&M ...

  1. Church?Rosser theorem

    Image Confluence.png right The Church Rosser theorem states that if there are two distinct Lambda calculus Reduction reductions starting from the same lambda calculus term, then there exists a term that is reachable from each reduct via a possibly empty sequence of reductions. This is symbolized by the diagram at right if term a can be reduced to both b and c , then there must be a further term d possibly equal to either b or c to which both b and c can be reduced. Viewing the lambda calculus as an abstract rewriting system , the Church Rosser theorem is a theorem of confluence abstract rewriting confluence . As a consequence of the theorem, a term in the lambda calculus has at most one Beta normal form normal form , justifying reference to the normal form of a certain term. The theorem was proved in 1936 by Alonzo Church and J. Barkley Rosser . The Church Rosser theorem also holds for many variants of the lambda calculus, such as the Simply typed lambda calculus simply typed lambda calculus , many calculi with advanced type systems, and Gordon Plotkin s beta value calculus. Plotkin also used a Church Rosser theorem to prove that the evaluation of functional programs for both lazy evaluation and eager evaluation is a function from programs to values a subset of the lambda terms .

  1. Kleene?Rosser paradox

    In mathematics , the Kleene&ndash Rosser paradox is a paradox that shows that certain systems of formal logic are inconsistent , in particular the version of Haskell Curry Curry s combinatory logic introduced in 1930, and Alonzo Church Church s original lambda calculus , introduced in 1932&ndash 1933, both originally intended as systems of formal logic. The paradox was exhibited by Stephen Kleene and J. B. Rosser in 1935. The paradox Kleene and Rosser were able to show that both systems are able to characterize and enumerate their provably total definable number theoretic functions, which enabled them to construct a term that essentially replicates the Richard paradox in formal language. Curry later managed to identify the crucial ingredients of the calculi that allowed the construction of this paradox, and used this to construct a much simpler paradox, now known as Curry s paradox .

  1. Rosser Reeves Ruby

    The Rosser Reeves Ruby , Weighing convert 138.7 carat g , is one of the world s largest and finest Star ruby star rubies . This Sri Lanka n stone is renowned for its great color and well defined star pattern. Advertising mogul Rosser Reeves , who donated the piece to the Smithsonian Institution Smithsonian in 1965, carried it around as a lucky stone, referring to it as his baby. He often stated that he had acquired the stone at an auction in Istanbul in the mid 1950s. He actually bought the stone from Robert C. Nelson Jr. of New York who was acting on behalf of Firestone & Parson of Boston . Firestone & Parson were selling the stone for Mr. Paul Fisher of New York. Mr. Robert Fisher, Paul s father, had bought the ruby at an auction in London in 1953. At the time the ruby then weighed just over convert 140 carat g , but was very heavily scratched, and a few carats were removed in the repolishing. The repolishing also helped to center the stone s star. Articles in the New York World Telegram and The Sun in 1953 mentioned this fabulous gemstone.
