It was designed by Vincent Rijmen (co-creator of the Advanced Encryption Standard) and Paulo S. L. M. Barreto, who first described it in 2000.
The hash has been recommended by the NESSIE project. It has als... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lexicographic%20order | In mathematics, the lexicographic or lexicographical order (also known as lexical order, or dictionary order) is a generalization of the alphabetical order of the dictionaries to sequences of ordered symbols or, more generally, of elements of a totally ordered set.
There are several variants and generalizations of the... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero%20crossing | A zero-crossing is a point where the sign of a mathematical function changes (e.g. from positive to negative), represented by an intercept of the axis (zero value) in the graph of the function. It is a commonly used term in electronics, mathematics, acoustics, and image processing.

The integral is a manner of generalization of the repeated antiderivative of in the sense that for positive integer values of , is an iterated antiderivative of of orde... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vedic%20Mathematics | Vedic Mathematics is a book written by the Indian monk Bharati Krishna Tirtha, and first published in 1965. It contains a list of mathematical techniques, which were falsely claimed to have been retrieved from the Vedas and to contain advanced mathematical knowledge.
Krishna Tirtha failed to produce the sources, and s... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solution%20set | In mathematics, a solution set is the set of values that satisfy a given set of equations or inequalities.
For example, for a set of polynomials over a ring ,
the solution set is the subset of on which the polynomials all vanish (evaluate to 0), formally

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weakly%20harmonic%20function | In mathematics, a function is weakly harmonic in a domain if
for all with compact support in and continuous second derivatives, where Δ is the Laplacian. This is the same notion as a weak derivative, however, a function can have a weak derivative and not be differentiable. In this case, we have the somewhat sur... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfur%20dye | Sulfur dyes are the most commonly used dyes manufactured for cotton in terms of volume. They are inexpensive, generally have good wash-fastness, and are easy to apply. Sulfur dyes are predominantly black, brown, and dark blue. Red sulfur dyes are unknown, although a pink or lighter scarlet color is available.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valence%20electron | In chemistry and physics, valence electrons are electrons in the outermost shell of an atom, and that can participate in the formation of a chemical bond if the outermost shell is not closed. In a single covalent bond, a shared pair forms with both atoms in the bond each contributing one valence electron.
The presence... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free-air%20gravity%20anomaly | In geophysics, the free-air gravity anomaly, often simply called the free-air anomaly, is the measured gravity anomaly after a free-air correction is applied to account for the elevation at which a measurement is made. It does so by adjusting these measurements of gravity to what would have been measured at a reference... |
