  2. Immersion (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    An immersion is precisely a local embedding – that is, for any point x ∈ M there is a neighbourhood, U ⊆ M, of x such that f : U → N is an embedding, and conversely a local embedding is an immersion. [3] For infinite dimensional manifolds, this is sometimes taken to be the definition of an immersion. [4]

  3. On-the-job training - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On-the-job_training

    On-the-job training (widely known as OJT) is an important topic of human resource management. It helps develop the career of the individual and the prosperous growth of the organization. On-the-job training is a form of training provided at the workplace. During the training, employees are familiarized with the working environment they will ...

  4. Embedding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embedding

    Analogously, isometric immersion is an immersion between (pseudo)-Riemannian manifolds that preserves the (pseudo)-Riemannian metrics. Equivalently, in Riemannian geometry, an isometric embedding (immersion) is a smooth embedding (immersion) that preserves length of curves (cf. Nash embedding theorem ).

  5. Closed immersion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed_immersion

    The notion of a closed immersion is local in the sense that f is a closed immersion if and only if for some (equivalently every) open covering = the induced map : is a closed immersion. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] If the composition Z → Y → X {\displaystyle Z\to Y\to X} is a closed immersion and Y → X {\displaystyle Y\to X} is separated , then Z → Y ...

  6. Glossary of mathematical jargon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_mathematical...

    The language of mathematics has a wide vocabulary of specialist and technical terms. It also has a certain amount of jargon: commonly used phrases which are part of the culture of mathematics, rather than of the subject.

  7. Smooth scheme - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smooth_scheme

    Smoothness is independent of the choice of immersion of X into affine space. The condition on the matrix of derivatives is understood to mean that the closed subset of X where all (n−m) × (n − m) minors of the matrix of derivatives are zero is the empty set.

  8. Experiential learning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Experiential_learning

    Experiential learning can occur without a teacher and relates solely to the meaning-making process of the individual's direct experience. However, though the gaining of knowledge is an inherent process that occurs naturally, a genuine learning experience requires certain elements. [6]

  9. Mathematical analysis - Wikipedia

    Thus, his definition of continuity required an infinitesimal change in x to correspond to an infinitesimal change in y. He also introduced the concept of the Cauchy sequence, and started the formal theory of complex analysis. Poisson, Liouville, Fourier and others studied partial differential equations and harmonic analysis.
