Jihad is an important concept in Islam, war is not. The word jihad is often used in the context of internal and personal struggle, and physical (or external) jihad becomes the struggle against oppression or prosecution.

Cool! I'm currently doing summer research modelling neurons and your posts really helped me learn this stuff. I would go through your code line-by-line writing it out and then I'd just play with the parameters. It was a nice starting point. Thanks! https://github.com/mef51/HodgkinHuxleyNeurons

This looks super interesting. Does anyone know any other good resources for graphics programming?

Despite no direct contributions to modern mathematics, the people she inspired with her skill could have a huge effect. That can be considered a contribution, especially since she actively showed off her talents repeatedly to different audiences.

found this article interesting: http://ca.gizmodo.com/5629814/giz-explains-why-everything-wi...
