https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barycenter%20%28astronomy%29 | In astronomy, the barycenter (or barycentre; ) is the center of mass of two or more bodies that orbit one another and is the point about which the bodies orbit. A barycenter is a dynamical point, not a physical object. It is an important concept in fields such as astronomy and astrophysics. The distance from a body's c... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drift%20velocity | In physics, drift velocity is the average velocity attained by charged particles, such as electrons, in a material due to an electric field. In general, an electron in a conductor will propagate randomly at the Fermi velocity, resulting in an average velocity of zero. Applying an electric field adds to this random moti... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell%20number | In combinatorial mathematics, the Bell numbers count the possible partitions of a set. These numbers have been studied by mathematicians since the 19th century, and their roots go back to medieval Japan. In an example of Stigler's law of eponymy, they are named after Eric Temple Bell, who wrote about them in the 1930s.... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Set%20%28abstract%20data%20type%29 | In computer science, a set is an abstract data type that can store unique values, without any particular order. It is a computer implementation of the mathematical concept of a finite set. Unlike most other collection types, rather than retrieving a specific element from a set, one typically tests a value for membershi... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divide-and-conquer%20algorithm | In computer science, divide and conquer is an algorithm design paradigm. A divide-and-conquer algorithm recursively breaks down a problem into two or more sub-problems of the same or related type, until these become simple enough to be solved directly. The solutions to the sub-problems are then combined to give a solut... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lotfi%20A.%20Zadeh | Lotfi Aliasker Zadeh (; ; ; 4 February 1921 – 6 September 2017) was a mathematician, computer scientist, electrical engineer, artificial intelligence researcher, and professor of computer science at the University of California, Berkeley.
Zadeh is best known for proposing fuzzy mathematics, consisting of several fuzzy... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RNA%20polymerase | In molecular biology, RNA polymerase (abbreviated RNAP or RNApol), or more specifically DNA-directed/dependent RNA polymerase (DdRP), is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactions that synthesize RNA from a DNA template.
Using the enzyme helicase, RNAP locally opens the double-stranded DNA so that one strand of... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squaring%20the%20circle | Squaring the circle is a problem in geometry first proposed in Greek mathematics. It is the challenge of constructing a square with the area of a given circle by using only a finite number of steps with a compass and straightedge. The difficulty of the problem raised the question of whether specified axioms of Euclidea... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrete | Discrete may refer to:
Discrete particle or quantum in physics, for example in quantum theory
Discrete device, an electronic component with just one circuit element, either passive or active, other than an integrated circuit
Discrete group, a group with the discrete topology
Discrete category, category whose only arrow... |
