The Most-Used Mathematical Algorithm Idea in History
An octillion. A billion billion billion. That’s a fairly conservative estimate of the number of times a cellphone or other device somewhere in the world has generated a bit using a maximum-length linear-feedback shift register sequence. It’s probably the single most-used mathematical algorithm idea in history. And the main originator of this idea was Solomon Golomb, who died on May 1 and whom I knew for 35 years.
Solomon Golomb’s classic book
Shift Register Sequences, published in 1967 based on his work in the 1950s went out of print long ago. But its content lives on in pretty much every modern communications system. Read the specifications for 3G, LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or for that matter GPS, and you’ll find mentions of polynomials that determine the shift register sequences these systems use to encode the data they send. Solomon Golomb is the person who figured out how to construct all these polynomials.

The ball was dropped too often on vital projects over the years and realtor Sir Paul Altman is encouraging officials to ensure they follow through on several City projects.
He listed to the the redevelopment of Roebuck Street, the historic Marshall Hall on Hincks Street and the proposed Pierhead Cruise Passenger facility as starting points.
During the Barbados Town Planning Society’s lunchtime webinar,
Bridgetown Revitalisation: Heritage, A Doorway To Regeneration yesterday, Sir Paul explained that different circumstances led to the shelving of the developments.
He said that if it all went well, the now weathered Marshall Hall building, others surrounding it and the car park would be used to construct a conference facility, a hotel, townhouses, a Caribbean food market and a design centre where the best of regional artwork could be purchased.
Back to work on revitalising Bridgetown

One of Barbados’ leading real estate developers believes that repeated reviews and unwillingness on the part of authorities have led to a “paralysis” of the planned redevelopment of Bridgetown over the years.
However, Sir Paul Altman is warning that with what appears to be a pent-up appetite for investment, local authorities should move with haste in attracting investors and be timelier in handing down decisions.
Reintroducing a multi-million dollar plan that was touted some 15 years ago to revitalize the capital city, Sir Paul expressed disappointment that more work wasn’t done by successive governments to sustain the island’s heritage while focusing on better use and sustainability of the capital.
