  2. Direct–inverse alignment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directinverse_alignment

    As can be seen, the only difference between these two verbs is the directinverse opposition, rather than case markers (or word order, when distinct nominals are used). An inverse verb is not equivalent to a passive verb. There is a separate passivity marker, denoted in literature as "indefinite person (X)", ranked in topicality hierarchy ...

  3. Proportionality (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    With inverse proportion, an increase in one variable is associated with a decrease in the other. For instance, in travel, a constant speed dictates a direct proportion between distance and time travelled; in contrast, for a given distance (the constant), the time of travel is inversely proportional to speed: s × t = d.

    Difference in longitude of the points on the auxiliary sphere; α 1, α 2: forward azimuths at the points; α: forward azimuth of the geodesic at the equator, if it were extended that far; s: ellipsoidal distance between the two points; σ: angular separation between points: σ 1: angular separation between the point and the equator: σ m

  5. Inverse problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_problem

    An inverse problem in science is the process of calculating from a set of observations the causal factors that produced them: for example, calculating an image in X-ray computed tomography, source reconstruction in acoustics, or calculating the density of the Earth from measurements of its gravity field.

  6. Contraposition - Wikipedia

    The inverse is "If a polygon is not a quadrilateral, then it does not have four sides." In this case, unlike the last example, the inverse of the statement is true. The converse is "If a polygon has four sides, then it is a quadrilateral." Again, in this case, unlike the last example, the converse of the statement is true.

  7. Direct limit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_limit

    The direct limit of any corresponding direct system is isomorphic to and the canonical morphism : is an isomorphism. Let K be a field. For a positive integer n , consider the general linear group GL( n;K ) consisting of invertible n x n - matrices with entries from K .

  8. The Difference Between Direct and Indirect Taxes - AOL

    Benjamin Franklin famously said that nothing is certain in life except for death and taxes. Taxes are so certain, in fact, that people and businesses pay them almost every day without even ...

  9. Isometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isometry

    This proof is similar to the proof that an order embedding between partially ordered sets is injective. Clearly, every isometry between metric spaces is a topological embedding. A global isometry, isometric isomorphism or congruence mapping is a bijective isometry. Like any other bijection, a global isometry has a function inverse. The inverse ...
