  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. Local diffeomorphism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_diffeomorphism

    As another example, there can be no local diffeomorphism from the 2-sphere to Euclidean 2-space, although they do indeed have the same local differentiable structure. This is because all local diffeomorphisms are continuous , the continuous image of a compact space is compact, and the 2-sphere is compact whereas Euclidean 2-space is not.

  5. Submersion (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    Let M and N be differentiable manifolds and : be a differentiable map between them. The map f is a submersion at a point if its differential: is a surjective linear map. [1] In this case p is called a regular point of the map f, otherwise, p is a critical point.

  6. 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 ...

  7. Multiple representations (mathematics education) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_representations...

    In mathematics education, a representation is a way of encoding an idea or a relationship, and can be both internal (e.g., mental construct) and external (e.g., graph). Thus multiple representations are ways to symbolize, to describe and to refer to the same mathematical entity. They are used to understand, to develop, and to communicate ...

  8. Nash embedding theorems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nash_embedding_theorems

    The technical statement appearing in Nash's original paper is as follows: if M is a given m-dimensional Riemannian manifold (analytic or of class C k, 3 ≤ k ≤ ∞), then there exists a number n (with n ≤ m(3m+11)/2 if M is a compact manifold, and with n ≤ m(m+1)(3m+11)/2 if M is a non-compact manifold) and an isometric embedding ƒ: M → R n (also analytic or of class C k). [15]

    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 ...
