Marriage is the most obvious public practice about which information is readily available. When combined with the traditional Jewish concern for continuity and self-preservation - itself only intensified by the memory of the Holocaust - marriage becomes the sine qua non of social membership in the modern Orthodox community.

Mysticism, in the narrow sense, implies a specific experience which is foreign to most poets and most men, but on the other hand, it represents an instinct which is a human sine qua non.

A practical way to travel between the stars is a must-have for space opera, and a sine qua non for our frequently vaunted future as a galactic society.

Winning the Revolutionary War, or the Civil War, or World War II were the turning points in our history, the sine qua non of our forward progress.

Taking charge of your own learning is a part of taking charge of your life, which is the sine qua non in becoming an integrated person.

Fidelity to the subject's thought and to his characteristic way of expressing himself is the sine qua non of journalistic quotation.

Sound money is the sine qua non of a prosperous society.

For me, politeness is a sine qua non of civilization.

Understand that 'sine' is fundamental in trigonometry, a branch of mathematics dealing with angles and sides of triangles.

Trigonometry Base

'Sine' in mathematics expresses a ratio, not just any number, which helps to understand various geometrical relationships.

Ratio Concept

Besides right triangles, 'sine' extends to functions graphed as waves, used in physics, engineering, and signal processing.

Not Just Triangles

In computing, 'sine' is a built-in function you can call to perform trigonometric calculations easily.

Programming Functions

When using 'sine' in programming, ensure your input angle is in the correct data type, like float or integer.

Data Types Matter

Programming languages can give errors or unexpected results if the 'sine' function's input isn't valid.

Error Handling

 So, about two and a half hours of the day we could collect with a stationary component. Solar cells collect light for four and a half hours though. On an average adjusted day, a solar cell -- because the sun's moving across the sky, the solar cell is going down with a sine wave function of performance at the off-axis angles.

 and trust is a sine qua non of this new network world. So this is good. It's not bad. Sunlight is the best disinfectant. And we need a lot of sunlight in this troubled world. Now, the third meaning and corresponding principle of openness is about sharing. Now this is different than transparency.

 so I would say, don't freak out. In fact, I would invite all of you to join me in just geeking out. If you've never written a line of code before in your life, do not worry. I'll bet you'll be able to come along on this. First thing I'm going to do is to make a sine wave oscillator,

 "for any idea drawings." With respect to idea drawings, nowhere in the contract is the word "cartoon" mentioned. The word "idea drawings," and that's the sine qua non of New Yorker cartoons. So what is an idea drawing? An idea drawing is something that requires you to think.

 which means during the making of that sine wave, the speed at which it is propagating is shifting. All of audio as we know it is an attempt to be more and more perfectly linear. Linearity means higher quality sound.

 Anyone who's a musician has been profoundly influenced by Robert Moog. And I'll just say what I'm about to do. What I'm about to do -- I hope you can recognize that there's a distorted sine wave,

 So every time we hit a resonant frequency we get a standing wave and that emergent sine curve of fire. So let's turn that off. We're indoors.

Jared Ficklin: New ways...

 Do you see how there's three peaks to the yellow sine wave? Right here I'm adding a sine wave with four peaks and turning it on.
