Chemistry Vincenzio Cascarido discovers barium sulfide. Commencement of publication of Theatrum Chemicum, a compendium of European alche...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pathological%20%28mathematics%29
In mathematics, when a mathematical phenomenon runs counter to some intuition, then the phenomenon is sometimes called pathological. On the other hand, if a phenomenon does not run counter to intuition, it is sometimes called well-behaved. These terms are sometimes useful in mathematical research and teaching, but the...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jordan%20decomposition
In mathematics, Jordan decomposition may refer to Hahn decomposition theorem, and the Jordan decomposition of a measure Jordan normal form of a matrix Jordan–Chevalley decomposition of a matrix Deligne–Lusztig theory, and its Jordan decomposition of a character of a finite group of Lie type The Jordan–Hölder theo...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial%20ring
In mathematics, especially in the field of algebra, a polynomial ring or polynomial algebra is a ring (which is also a commutative algebra) formed from the set of polynomials in one or more indeterminates (traditionally also called variables) with coefficients in another ring, often a field. Often, the term "polynomia...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equinumerosity
In mathematics, two sets or classes A and B are equinumerous if there exists a one-to-one correspondence (or bijection) between them, that is, if there exists a function from A to B such that for every element y of B, there is exactly one element x of A with f(x) = y. Equinumerous sets are said to have the same cardina...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copley%20Medal
The Copley Medal is the most prestigious award of the Royal Society, conferred "for sustained, outstanding achievements in any field of science". It alternates between the physical sciences or mathematics and the biological sciences. Given annually, the medal is the oldest Royal Society medal awarded and the oldest sur...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lie%20group%20decomposition
In mathematics, Lie group decompositions are used to analyse the structure of Lie groups and associated objects, by showing how they are built up out of subgroups. They are essential technical tools in the representation theory of Lie groups and Lie algebras; they can also be used to study the algebraic topology of suc...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language%20of%20mathematics
The language of mathematics or mathematical language is an extension of the natural language (for example English) that is used in mathematics and in science for expressing results (scientific laws, theorems, proofs, logical deductions, etc) with concision, precision and unambiguity. Features The main features of the ...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hygienic%20macro
In computer science, hygienic macros are macros whose expansion is guaranteed not to cause the accidental capture of identifiers. They are a feature of programming languages such as Scheme, Dylan, Rust, Nim, and Julia. The general problem of accidental capture was well known in the Lisp community before the introductio...
