    arcosech – inverse hyperbolic cosecant function. (Also written as arcsch.) arcosh – inverse hyperbolic cosine function. arcoth – inverse hyperbolic cotangent function. arcsch – inverse hyperbolic cosecant function.

    For example, squares (resp. triangles) have 4 sides (resp. 3 sides); or compact (resp. Lindelöf) spaces are ones where every open cover has a finite (resp. countable) open subcover. sharp Often, a mathematical theorem will establish constraints on the behavior of some object; for example, a function will be shown to have an upper or lower bound.

    For example, in order for someone to be called Socrates, it is necessary for that someone to be Named. Similarly, in order for human beings to live, it is necessary that they have air. [9] One can also say S is a sufficient condition for N (refer again to the third column of the truth table immediately below).

  5. Self-similarity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-similarity

    For example, in teletraffic engineering, packet switched data traffic patterns seem to be statistically self-similar. [9] This property means that simple models using a Poisson distribution are inaccurate, and networks designed without taking self-similarity into account are likely to function in unexpected ways.

    Synonym list in cuneiform on a clay tablet, Neo-Assyrian period [1] A synonym is a word, morpheme, or phrase that means precisely or nearly the same as another word, morpheme, or phrase in a given language. [2] For example, in the English language, the words begin, start, commence, and initiate are all synonyms of one another: they are ...

  7. Map (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    In category theory, "map" is often used as a synonym for "morphism" or "arrow", which is a structure-respecting function and thus may imply more structure than "function" does. [9] For example, a morphism : in a concrete category (i.e. a morphism that can be viewed as a function) carries with it the information of its domain (the source of the ...

  8. Function (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    For example, the cosine function induces, by restriction, a bijection from the interval [0, π] onto the interval [−1, 1], and its inverse function, called arccosine, maps [−1, 1] onto [0, π]. The other inverse trigonometric functions are defined similarly.

  9. Functional predicate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_predicate

    Similarly, if T is a subtype of U, then there is an inclusion predicate of domain type T and codomain type U that satisfies the same equation; there are additional function symbols associated with other ways of constructing new types out of old ones. Additionally, one can define functional predicates after proving an appropriate theorem.
