Figure 1:  The 26th letter of the English Alphabet, 'z'.  I scripted this in svg.      Figure 2:   The SVG image that I scripted. In Shakespeare's play, King Lear there is the following quote: Thou whoreson zed, thou unnecessary letter! In English, the phonemes produced by the letter, 'z', can also be produced by the letter, 's'. Hence, why Shakespeare seemes to consider the letter, 'z,' "worthless" in Act 2 Scene 2 of King Lear You may view the code of this SVG image at my Codepen account.

There Does Not Exist There Does Not Exist:      Figure 1:   A there does not exist symbol that I coded in SVG.      Figure 2:   What the SVG image depicted in Figure 1 looks like when exported as a .PNG file.      Figure 3:   The SVG code that generates the vector image depicted in Figure 1 . The symbol depicted in Figure 1 means: There does not exist .  This image is a rendering of the: There does not exist symbol as found in the: Cambria Math font as found in Microsoft Word . You may view the source code for this there-does-not-exists symbol at my Codepen  account. While I was at it, I re-rendered the: There Exists symbol so as to correspond with the symbol as rendered by the: Cambria Math font in Microsoft Word : There Exists Symbol (Cambria Math) ...

There Exists There_exists_symbol      Figure 1:   A there exists symbol that I coded in SVG.      Figure 2:   The SVG code that generates the vector image depicted in Figure 1 .      Figure 3:   What the above image, depicted in Figure 1 looks like when exported as a .PNG file. I believe that I could program better if I knew more Mathematics, and — to that end — I am following some Engineering-Mathematics courses on YouTube.  For instance: the more plane and Cartesian Geometry that I learn, the better I am able to script images in SVG. The symbol depicted in Figure 1 means: There exists . You may view the source code for this there-exists symbol at my Codepen  account.

     Figure 1:   A Venn diagram that illustrates how information, or data is grouped as regards Structured Query Language. How information is grouped together within programming languages is an important concept to grasp.  I find that the drawing of Venn diagrams assists me with this.

My first X3DOM page Hello, Cube!      Figure 1:   It is possible to script Three-dimensional objects with X3DOM.  X3DOM follows the declarative scripting paradigm of two-dimensional SVG as opposed to following the programming imperative paradigm of JavaScript and Canvas. This is my first html page that includes a three-dimensional object. X3DOM is a Javascript library that allows one to code three-dimensional objects - such as cubes, speheres, cylinders, etc. - with tags, just as SVG allows one to do with two dimensional objects - squares, circles etc. You can manipulate the below cube with your finger - should you be employing a touchscreen - or with your mouse cursor - should you be employing a desktop. Should you use two fingers on a touch-screen device, then you can scale the size of the cube in real time. Holding one's two fingers to the screen...

A Rule for the Accentuation of Ancient Greek. Figure 1:   A Greek flag that I coded in SVG. Figure 2:   What the above image looks like when exported as a PNG file You may view the code, and the vector image itself, for the above depicted Greek flag at my CodePen account. Figure 3:   ἡ λύρα Genitive: τῆς λύρᾱς or: hē lúra Genitive: tē̃s lúrās. 1st-declension feminine noun. The lyre. The lyre is very often used to symbolise Ancient Greece. Nouns are Persistent , whereas Verbs are recessive: Nouns are Persistent [1] : When it comes to Ancien...

How Long is a Piece of String How long is a piece of string?  This is very often touted — by non-philosophers, mostly — as being one of the ultimate philosophical questions.   The preceding question, after which this blog-post is entitled, is generally regarded as unanswerable. However, in our case, the question can indeed be answered, as this piece of string — coded in SVG — is 77 lines long! ...
