  2. Cross-ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-ratio

    The point D is the harmonic conjugate of C with respect to A and B precisely if the cross-ratio of the quadruple is −1, called the harmonic ratio. The cross-ratio can therefore be regarded as measuring the quadruple's deviation from this ratio; hence the name anharmonic ratio. The cross-ratio is preserved by linear fractional transformations.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schur_polynomial

    The degree d Schur polynomials in n variables are a linear basis for the space of homogeneous degree d symmetric polynomials in n variables. For a partition λ = (λ 1, λ 2, ..., λ n), the Schur polynomial is a sum of monomials,

    ABAP supports two different kinds of comments. If the first character of a line, including indentation, is an asterisk (*) the whole line is considered as a comment, while a single double quote (") begins an in-line comment which acts until the end of the line.

  5. MATLAB - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MATLAB

    MATLAB allows matrix manipulations, plotting of functions and data, implementation of algorithms, creation of user interfaces, and interfacing with programs written in other languages. Although MATLAB is intended primarily for numeric computing, an optional toolbox uses the MuPAD symbolic engine allowing access to symbolic computing abilities.

    See § Brackets for examples of use. Most symbols have two printed versions. They can be displayed as Unicode characters, or in LaTeX format. With the Unicode version, using search engines and copy-pasting are easier. On the other hand, the LaTeX rendering is often much better (more aesthetic), and is generally considered a standard in mathematics.

    the stack alphabet in the formal definition of a pushdown automaton, or the tape-alphabet in the formal definition of a Turing machine; the Feferman–Schütte ordinal Γ 0 [17] represents: the specific weight of substances; the lower incomplete gamma function; the third angle in a triangle, opposite the side c

    As an example, consider the advection equation (this example assumes familiarity with PDE notation, and solutions to basic ODEs). + = where is constant and is a function of and . We want to transform this linear first-order PDE into an ODE along the appropriate curve; i.e. something of the form

    For example, some authors [6] define φ X (t) = E[e −2πitX], which is essentially a change of parameter. Other notation may be encountered in the literature: p ^ {\displaystyle \scriptstyle {\hat {p}}} as the characteristic function for a probability measure p , or f ^ {\displaystyle \scriptstyle {\hat {f}}} as the characteristic function ...
