  2. Superposed order - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superposed_order

    Superposed order of the Colosseum. Superposed order (also superimposed) [1] is one where successive storeys of a building have different orders. [2] The most famous ancient example of such an order is the Colosseum at Rome, which had no less than four storeys of superposed orders. [3]

  3. Mathematical structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_structure

    In mathematics, a structure on a set (or on some sets) refers to providing it (or them) with certain additional features (e.g. an operation, relation, metric, or topology). Τhe additional features are attached or related to the set (or to the sets), so as to provide it (or them) with some additional meaning or significance.

  4. Incidence structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incidence_structure

    This is an incidence structure in which the lines fall into k parallel classes, so that two lines in the same parallel class have no common points, but two lines in different classes have exactly one common point, and each point belongs to exactly one line from each parallel class. An example of a k-net is the set of points of an affine plane ...

  5. Elementary mathematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elementary_mathematics

    Elementary mathematics, also known as primary or secondary school mathematics, is the study of mathematics topics that are commonly taught at the primary or secondary school levels around the world. It includes a wide range of mathematical concepts and skills, including number sense , algebra , geometry , measurement , and data analysis .

  6. Linear combination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_combination

    is the linear combination of vectors and such that = +. In mathematics, a linear combination or superposition is an expression constructed from a set of terms by multiplying each term by a constant and adding the results (e.g. a linear combination of x and y would be any expression of the form ax + by, where a and b are constants).

  7. Stalk (sheaf) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stalk_(sheaf)

    For example, in the sheaf of analytic functions on an analytic manifold, a germ of a function at a point determines the function in a small neighborhood of a point. This is because the germ records the function's power series expansion, and all analytic functions are by definition locally equal to their power series.

  8. Equivalent definitions of mathematical structures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivalent_definitions_of...

    In the former case, equivalence of two definitions means that a mathematical object (for example, geometric body) satisfies one definition if and only if it satisfies the other definition. In the latter case, the meaning of equivalence (between two definitions of a structure) is more complicated, since a structure is more abstract than an object.

  9. Foliation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foliation

    2-dimensional section of Reeb foliation 3-dimensional model of Reeb foliation. In mathematics (differential geometry), a foliation is an equivalence relation on an n-manifold, the equivalence classes being connected, injectively immersed submanifolds, all of the same dimension p, modeled on the decomposition of the real coordinate space R n into the cosets x + R p of the standardly embedded ...
