Montessori Method \Mon`tes*so"ri Meth"od\ (Pedagogy) A system of training and instruction, primarily for use with normal children aged from three to six years, devised by Dr. Maria Montessori while teaching in the [bd]Houses of Childhood[b8] (schools in the poorest tenement districts of Rome, Italy), and first fully described by her in 1909. Leading features are freedom for physical activity (no stationary desks and chairs), informal and individual instruction, the very early development of writing, and an extended sensory and motor training (with special emphasis on vision, touch, perception of movement, and their interconnections), mediated by a patented, standardized system of [bd]didactic apparatus,[b8] which is declared to be [bd]auto-regulative.[b8] Most of the chief features of the method are borrowed from current methods used in many institutions for training feeble-minded children, and dating back especially to the work of the French-American physician Edouard O. Seguin (1812-80). | |

memetics /me-met'iks/ n. [from {meme}] The study of memes. As of early 1999, this is still an extremely informal and speculative endeavor, though the first steps towards at least statistical rigor have been made by H. Keith Henson and others. Memetics is a popular topic for speculation among hackers, who like to see themselves as the architects of the new information ecologies in which memes live and replicate. | |

menuitis /men`yoo-i:'tis/ n. Notional disease suffered by software with an obsessively simple-minded menu interface and no escape.

MANTIS application development system from {Cincom}. MANTIS enables the developer to design prototypes, create transaction screens and reports, define logical data views, write structured procedures, and dynamically test, correct, document, secure, and release applications for production in a single, integrated, interactive session. MANTIS applications can be enhanced with gOOi, the graphical object-oriented interface, which creates graphical Windows representations of existing MANTIS screens. {Home (http://www.cincom.com/products/mantis/)}.

memetic algorithm which includes a non-genetic local search to improve genotypes. The term comes from the Richard Dawkin's term "{meme}". One big difference between memes and genes is that memes are processed and possibly improved by the people that hold them - something that cannot happen to genes. It is this advantage that the memetic algorithm has over simple genetic or evolutionary algorithms. These algorithms are useful in solving complex problems, such as the "{Travelling Salesman Problem}," which involves finding the shortest path through a large number of nodes, or in creating {artificial life} to test evolutionary theories. Memetic algorithms are one kind of {metaheuristic}. {UNLP memetic algorithms home page (http://www.ing.unlp.edu.ar/cetad/mos/memetic_home.html)}. (07 July 1997) | |

Mini Disc portable replacement for music {Compact Discs}. In 1994 Sony announced a data version which can hold 140 MB or about 100 MB using {error correction}. These will be competitive with 128 MB {magneto-optical} disks. Mini Discs may be either a re-writable or mass-produced read-only type. Sony have also announced a standard data format. The transfer rate is similar to {CD-ROM} which is slow compared to the current {magneto-optical} drives (which are similar to an old hard disk, with writing noticeably slower than reading). Pre-recorded read-only Mini Discs can be mass manufactured on a modified CD press - this and the standard format mean it could take off as a software distribution medium. An article in the December 1994 PCW quotes {access time}s of about 300 ms and data transfer rate of about 150 kb/s (i.e. about single spin CD rate). (1994-12-13) | |

Monte Carlo (After Monte Carlo, Monaco - a notorious gambling mecca) Any one of various methods involving statistical techniques, such as the use of random samples, to finding the solutions to mathematical or physical problems. For example, to calculate pi, generate random points in the square (x, y) = ([0-1], [0-1]) and find the proportion for which x^2 + y^2 < 1, i.e. which lie within a quadant of a circle with radius 1. Since the area of the square is 1 and the area of the quadrant is pi/4, the proportion in the quadrant should be pi/4. (1995-02-23) | |
