    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photomask

    In the context of this entry, "pellicle" means "thin film dust cover to protect a photomask". Particle contamination can be a significant problem in semiconductor manufacturing. A photomask is protected from particles by a pellicle – a thin transparent film stretched over a frame that is glued over one side of the photomask.

    Rigor is a cornerstone quality of mathematics, and can play an important role in preventing mathematics from degenerating into fallacies. well-behaved An object is well-behaved (in contrast with being Pathological ) if it satisfies certain prevailing regularity properties, or if it conforms to mathematical intuition (even though intuition can ...

  7. Characterization (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Characterization_(mathematics)

    In mathematics, a characterization of an object is a set of conditions that, while possibly different from the definition of the object, is logically equivalent to it. [1] To say that "Property P characterizes object X" is to say that not only does X have property P, but that X is the only thing that has property P (i.e., P is a defining ...

  9. Bundle (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bundle_(mathematics)

    In mathematics, a bundle is a generalization of a fiber bundle dropping the condition of a local product structure. The requirement of a local product structure rests on the bundle having a topology. Without this requirement, more general objects can be considered bundles.
