  2. Inflection point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inflection_point

    Definition. Inflection points in differential geometry are the points of the curve where the curvature changes its sign. [2][3] For example, the graph of the differentiable function has an inflection point at (x, f(x)) if and only if its first derivative f' has an isolated extremum at x. (this is not the same as saying that f has an extremum).

  3. Resonance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resonance

    Resonance. Increase of amplitude as damping decreases and frequency approaches resonant frequency of a driven damped simple harmonic oscillator. [1][2] In physics, resonance refers to a wide class of phenomena that arise as a result of matching temporal or spatial periods of oscillatory objects. For an oscillatory dynamical system driven by a ...

  4. Abscissa and ordinate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abscissa_and_ordinate

    In mathematics, the abscissa (/ æbˈsɪs.ə /; plural abscissae or abscissas) and the ordinate are respectively the first and second coordinate of a point in a Cartesian coordinate system: -axis (vertical) coordinate. Usually these are the horizontal and vertical coordinates of a point in plane, the rectangular coordinate system.

  5. Argument map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_map

    v. t. e. An argument map or argument diagram is a visual representation of the structure of an argument. An argument map typically includes all the key components of the argument, traditionally called the conclusion and the premises, also called contention and reasons. [ 1 ] Argument maps can also show co-premises, objections, counterarguments ...

  6. Directed graph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directed_graph

    Definition. In formal terms, a directed graph is an ordered pair G = (V, A) where [1] A is a set of ordered pairs of vertices, called arcs, directed edges (sometimes simply edges with the corresponding set named E instead of A), arrows, or directed lines. It differs from an ordinary or undirected graph, in that the latter is defined in terms of ...

  7. Shortest path problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shortest_path_problem

    Shortest path problem. Shortest path (A, C, E, D, F) between vertices A and F in the weighted directed graph. In graph theory, the shortest path problem is the problem of finding a path between two vertices (or nodes) in a graph such that the sum of the weights of its constituent edges is minimized. [1]

  8. Tetration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetration

    Tetration is also defined recursively as. allowing for attempts to extend tetration to non-natural numbers such as real, complex, and ordinal numbers. The two inverses of tetration are called super-root and super-logarithm, analogous to the nth root and the logarithmic functions.

  9. Phasor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phasor

    Phasor notation (also known as angle notation) is a mathematical notation used in electronics engineering and electrical engineering.A vector whose polar coordinates are magnitude and angle is written . [13] can represent either the vector (⁡, ⁡) or the complex number ⁡ + ⁡ =, according to Euler's formula with =, both of which have magnitudes of 1.
