  2. Origin (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    The origin of a Cartesian coordinate system. In mathematics, the origin of a Euclidean space is a special point, usually denoted by the letter O, used as a fixed point of reference for the geometry of the surrounding space. In physical problems, the choice of origin is often arbitrary, meaning any choice of origin will ultimately give the same ...

  3. Coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinate_system

    For example, in 1D, if the mapping is a translation of 3 to the right, the first moves the origin from 0 to 3, so that the coordinate of each point becomes 3 less, while the second moves the origin from 0 to −3, so that the coordinate of each point becomes 3 more.

  4. Cartesian coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartesian_coordinate_system

    A three dimensional Cartesian coordinate system, with origin O and axis lines X, Y and Z, oriented as shown by the arrows. The tick marks on the axes are one length unit apart. The black dot shows the point with coordinates x = 2, y = 3, and z = 4, or (2, 3, 4).

  5. Calculus - Wikipedia

    Functions differing by only a constant have the same derivative, and it can be shown that the antiderivative of a given function is a family of functions differing only by a constant. [ 49 ] : 326 Since the derivative of the function y = x 2 + C , where C is any constant, is y′ = 2 x , the antiderivative of the latter is given by:

  6. Trip distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trip_distribution

    All trips have an origin and destination and these are considered at the trip distribution stage. Trip distribution (or destination choice or zonal interchange analysis) is the second component (after trip generation, but before mode choice and route assignment) in the traditional four-step transportation forecasting model.

  7. The History of Mathematical Tables - Wikipedia

    The History of Mathematical Tables: from Sumer to Spreadsheets is an edited volume in the history of mathematics on mathematical tables.It was edited by Martin Campbell-Kelly, Mary Croarken, Raymond Flood, and Eleanor Robson, developed out of the presentations at a conference on the subject organised in 2001 by the British Society for the History of Mathematics, [1] [2] and published in 2003 ...

  8. Penalty card - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penalty_card

    Since 1 January 2014, a player in Gaelic football can be ordered off the pitch for the remainder of the game with a substitution allowed by being shown a black card (the referee's black notebook) in the same manner as any other penalty card for "cynical behaviour," including blatant tripping, pulling down and bodychecking.

  9. Punnett square - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punnett_square

    These tables can be used to examine the genotypical outcome probabilities of the offspring of a single trait (allele), or when crossing multiple traits from the parents. The Punnett square is a visual representation of Mendelian inheritance , a fundamental concept in genetics discovered by Gregor Mendel . [ 10 ]
