- Star Magnitudes or Brightness (NCats.net)
Lists the magnitudes of the brightest stars, including Sirius -1.54, Canopus -0.73, Rigel Kent -0.10, Arcturus -0.06, Vega 0.04, Capella 0.08, Rigel 0.11, Procyon 0.35, Achernar 0.48, Hadar 0.60, Altair 0.77, Betelgeuse 0.80, Aldebaran 0.85, Acrux 0.90, Spica 0.96, Anteres 1.00, Pollux 1.15, Fomalhaut 1.16, Deneb 1.25, and Mimosa 1.26.
"Magnitudes were first placed on stars by the Greek astronomer Hipparchus, more than two thousand years ago. He listed stars from first magnitude (the brightest) to sixth magnitude (the faintest) with a one magnitude increase corresponding to a star one-half as bright. In the mid-1800's astronomers made a more precise definition of magnitude, determining that the intensity difference between magnitudes was 2.512." "The most important thing to remember is that as magnitude decreases a star's brightness increases." (The four stars with a negative value are brighter than the first magnitude, for example.) 7-02

- Financial Mathematics (Wikipedia.org)
Provides a directory of financial math subjects. "Financial mathematics is the branch of applied mathematics concerned with the financial markets.

A central difference is that whilst a financial economist might study the structural reasons why a company may have a certain share price, a mathematician may take the share price as a given, and attempt to use stochastic calculus to obtain the fair value of derivatives of the stock."
Includes the topics of Arbitrage pricing theory, Beta coefficient, Black-Scholes, Bond duration, Bond valuation, Capital asset pricing model, Financial mathematics, Historical volatility, Implied volatility, Malliavin calculus, Modern portfolio theory, Moving average (finance), Put-call parity, Quantitative analyst, Rational pricing, Return (finance), Sharpe ratio, Sortino ratio, Stochastic calculus, The Greeks, Tobin's-q, Value at risk, and Volatility. 10-04

- Tsunami Facts (Wikipedia.org)
"The term [tsunami] was created by fishermen who returned to port to find the area surrounding the harbour devastated, although they had not been aware of any wave in the open water. A tsunami is not a sub-surface event in the deep ocean; it simply has a much smaller amplitude (wave heights) offshore, and a very long wavelength (often hundreds of kilometers long), which is why they generally pass unnoticed at sea, forming only a passing 'hump' in the ocean."
Includes descriptions of some of the largest tsunamis of the past, such as the one caused by the Krakatoa explosion in 1883.
"At some time between 1650 BC and 1600 BC (still debated), the volcanic Greek island Santorini erupted, causing a 100 m to 150 m high tsunami that devastated the north coast of Crete, 70 km (45 miles) away, and would certainly have eliminated every timber of the Minoan fleet along Crete's northern shore. Santorini is regarded as the most likely source for Plato's literary parable of Atlantis, and is believed by some scientists to have informed Great Flood accounts which were eventually recorded in Jewish, Christian, and Islamic texts."
"The magnitude 9.0 2004 Indian Ocean Earthquake triggered a series of lethal tsunamis on December 26, 2004 that killed roughly 165,000 people (more than 105,000 in Indonesia), making it the deadliest tsunami in recorded history." 01-05
