  2. Function composition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_composition

    If an airplane's altitude at time t is a(t), and the air pressure at altitude x is p(x), then (p ∘ a)(t) is the pressure around the plane at time t. Function defined on finite sets which change the order of their elements such as permutations can be composed on the same set, this being composition of permutations.

  3. Axonometric projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axonometric_projection

    Classification of Axonometric projection and some 3D projections "Axonometry" means "to measure along the axes". In German literature, axonometry is based on Pohlke's theorem, such that the scope of axonometric projection could encompass every type of parallel projection, including not only orthographic projection (and multiview projection), but also oblique projection.

  4. Axial chirality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axial_chirality

    Two types of molecules having axial chirality: allenes (left) and binaryl atropisomers (right) In chemistry, axial chirality is a special case of chirality in which a molecule contains two pairs of chemical groups in a non-planar arrangement about an axis of chirality so that the molecule is not superposable on its mirror image.

  5. K-topology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-topology

    Let R be the set of real numbers and let = {/: =,, …}. The K-topology on R is the topology obtained by taking as a base the collection of all open intervals ( a , b ) {\displaystyle (a,b)} together with all sets of the form ( a , b ) ∖ K . {\displaystyle (a,b)\setminus K.} [ 1 ] The neighborhoods of a point x ≠ 0 {\displaystyle x\neq 0 ...

  6. Positive real numbers - Wikipedia

    In a complex plane, > is identified with the positive real axis, and is usually drawn as a horizontal ray. This ray is used as reference in the polar form of a complex number . The real positive axis corresponds to complex numbers z = | z | e i φ , {\displaystyle z=|z|\mathrm {e} ^{\mathrm {i} \varphi },} with argument φ = 0. {\displaystyle ...

  7. Coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinate_system

    A point is chosen as the pole and a ray from this point is taken as the polar axis. For a given angle θ, there is a single line through the pole whose angle with the polar axis is θ (measured counterclockwise from the axis to the line). Then there is a unique point on this line whose signed distance from the origin is r for given number r.

  8. Rotation matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation_matrix

    More specifically, they can be characterized as orthogonal matrices with determinant 1; that is, a square matrix R is a rotation matrix if and only if R T = R −1 and det R = 1. The set of all orthogonal matrices of size n with determinant +1 is a representation of a group known as the special orthogonal group SO(n), one example of which is ...

  9. Bifurcation diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bifurcation_diagram

    An example is the bifurcation diagram of the logistic map: + = (). The bifurcation parameter r is shown on the horizontal axis of the plot and the vertical axis shows the set of values of the logistic function visited asymptotically from almost all initial conditions.
