    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Characteristic_class

    Characteristic classes are elements of cohomology groups; [1] one can obtain integers from characteristic classes, called characteristic numbers. Some important examples of characteristic numbers are Stiefel–Whitney numbers , Chern numbers , Pontryagin numbers , and the Euler characteristic .

    Quizlet was founded in 2005 by Andrew Sutherland as a studying tool to aid in memorization for his French class, which he claimed to have "aced". [6] [7] [8] Quizlet's blog, written mostly by Andrew in the earlier days of the company, claims it had reached 50,000 registered users in 252 days online. [9]

    The article is an interactive blog post, "part story and part game". [1] [2] It has a model consisting of a society of blue squares and yellow triangles, presented in a grid. [3] [4] At the top of the article, a crowd of triangles and squares are wiggling. [5] Just under, it says, "This is a story of how harmless choices can make a harmful world."

    If class characteristics, size match and randomly acquired characteristics found in the footwear outsole can also be found in the crime scene impressions: Investigators can determine that the specific piece created the crime scene impression. This relationship can be used as evidence to prove that the footwear's owner was at the crime scene.

  7. Characterization (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    A reference on mathematical terminology notes that characteristic originates from the Greek term kharax, "a pointed stake": From Greek kharax came kharakhter, an instrument used to mark or engrave an object. Once an object was marked, it became distinctive, so the character of something came to mean its distinctive nature.

  8. Crystalline cohomology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystalline_cohomology

    The motivation for this is that it can then be calculated by taking a local lifting of a scheme from characteristic p to characteristic 0 and employing an appropriate version of algebraic de Rham cohomology. Crystalline cohomology only works well for smooth proper schemes. Rigid cohomology extends it to more general schemes.

  9. Characteristic (algebra) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Characteristic_(algebra)

    A field of non-zero characteristic is called a field of finite characteristic or positive characteristic or prime characteristic. The characteristic exponent is defined similarly, except that it is equal to 1 when the characteristic is 0; otherwise it has the same value as the characteristic. [2]
