Chris Ray questions by Chris Ray, et al.

Illinois A questions by Mike Sorice

1. The Duke of Hamilton manned river fortresses to allow this battle to take place, and it constituted the first real test for a reorganized force that featured four artillery pieces attached to each battalion.  The victorious general arrayed his troops with their backs to the Loberbach River and a treeline, having earlier marched from a beachhead at Peenemunde.  The impetus for the conflict was an effort to oust John George I, whose Saxon troops pussied out and caused the left flank of the eventual victors to be exposed.  Pappenheim's inability to make a dent with his cavalry allowed the hakkapelitta to capture the enemy's field guns, while the defending general used his reserves to repulse the flank and smash the advancing line of the Catholic League.  Seeing the massacre of most of Tilly's forces and preceding Lutzen and Lech, FTP, identify this 1631 clash which marked the rise of Gustavus Adolphus and the opening of the Swedish phase of the Thirty Years War.

4. Clifford algebras over Euclidean spaces are used to define the namesake objects of this property, which Lorentz transform according to relations involving commutators of gamma matrices.  Self-field interactions cause the proportionality between this value and its associated magnetic moment to differ from 2, a fact that implies QED must be used to calculate the electron gyromagnetic ratio.  One form of the operators for this observable is given by the Pauli matrices and it was Pauli who first proposed this property.  Theorized by Goudsmit and Uhlenbeck, FTP name this property that differentiates fermions and bosons, a form of intrinsic angular momentum, usually plus or minus one half for an electron.

Corsi, which discussed congressional pragmatism.  That opinion, written by Thurgood Marshall, discusses McDaniel v. Barresi in explaining the only difference in this ruling with that of the state Supreme Court.  Blackmun's concurrence waxes about generalities, and the majority gave the permission to "redress" past errors.  The party who originally brought the case argued that Title VI had been violated, and it was later upheld in cases by Gratz and Grutter against Lee Bollinger.  The court ruled that a “special” system of sixteen slots that allowed sub-2.5 GPAs violated Equal Protection, but race could still be used as "one of many factors".  FTP, identify this 1978 case which dealt with affirmative action keeping the white man down in the eponymous west coast educational institution in Davis.
