2011 Most IDM Tournament


QBLA

Recommended Posts

As most of you may know, Fred McGriff is usually the one who sets up this tournament. But this year, he is unable to continue the tournament. He has agreed that I man the helm for this years Most IDM Tournament.

 

I have been a part of Tournaments of yore as a judge and having tracks on the compilations. So perhaps my experience will hopefully keep this tournament afloat because quite frankly, this is my favorite part of watmm.

 

Like the tournaments of the past, we will start with the brainstorming stage. I will keep this phase open until Friday April 29th 5pm pct. I will then close the thread and compile all the entries into one big poll for the second phase. From there the top 64 will be picked and the Bracketology will commence.

 

once the "most IDM Combatant" of 2011 is determined, we will start planning for a compilation dedicated to the winner.

 

I will assure you all that despite my dislike of what most of watmm considers IDM, i will be unbiased and call this "RIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE!"

So, without further ado. LET THE TOURNAMENT COMMENCE!

The Fourth Dimension

The possibility of spaces with dimensions higher than three was first studied by mathematicians in the 19th century. In 1827 Möbius realized that a fourth dimension would allow a three-dimensional form to be rotated onto its mirror-image, and by 1853 Ludwig Schläfli had discovered many polytopes in higher dimensions, although his work was not published until after his death. Higher dimensions were soon put on firm footing by Bernhard Riemann's 1854 Habilitationsschrift, Über die Hypothesen welche der Geometrie zu Grunde liegen, in which he considered a "point" to be any sequence of coordinates (x1, ..., xn). The possibility of geometry in higher dimensions, including four dimensions in particular, was thus established.

 

An arithmetic of four dimensions called quaternions was defined by William Rowan Hamilton in 1843. This associative algebra was the source of the science of vector analysis in three dimensions as recounted in A History of Vector Analysis.

 

The fourth dimension was popularised by Charles Howard Hinton, starting in 1880 with his essay What is the Fourth Dimension? published in the Dublin University magazine. He coined the terms tesseract, ana and kata in his book A New Era of Thought, and introduced a method for visualising the fourth dimension using cubes in the book Fourth Dimension.
