The text by Carolyn M. Ford is sparse sparse - A sparse matrix (or vector, or array) is one in which most of the elements are zero. If storage space is more important than access speed, it may be preferable to store a sparse matrix as a list of (index, value) pairs or use some kind of hash scheme or associative memory. , offering a few descriptions of individual boats and brief anecdotes of the competition, yet the photographs of wood, sail, wind and water are largely left to speak for themselves. Wood, Wind and Water is an absorbing volume to simply page through, and surely the next best thing to witnessing the Opera House Cup Race in person. |
