Edwin H. Land Medal

The Edwin H. Land Medal is jointly presented by The Optical Society and the Society for Imaging Science and Technology (IS&T).[1] The Land Medal was established in 1992 to honor the noted scientist and entrepreneur Edwin H. Land,[2] who is noted for his invention of instant photography, for founding the Polaroid Corporation, and for developing the theory of Retinex, amongst many other accomplishments. It is funded by the Polaroid Foundation, the Polaroid Retirees Association and by individual contributors Manfred Heiting, Theodore Voss and John J. McCann. The medal honors individuals who, using the science of optics, "have demonstrated pioneering enterpreneurial activity that has had a major impact on the public."[3]

gollark: Oh no. The tic-tac-toe AI has become too powerful.
gollark: The turning point *must* be at the corresponding x coordinate, because the squared part *not* being 0 would give you a less extreme value.
gollark: Yes.
gollark: Well, consider when the squared part will be 0.
gollark: Yes.
