https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function%20composition%20%28computer%20science%29 | In computer science, function composition is an act or mechanism to combine simple functions to build more complicated ones. Like the usual composition of functions in mathematics, the result of each function is passed as the argument of the next, and the result of the last one is the result of the whole.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorentz%20scalar | In a relativistic theory of physics, a Lorentz scalar is an expression, formed from items of the theory, which evaluates to a scalar, invariant under any Lorentz transformation. A Lorentz scalar may be generated from e.g., the scalar product of vectors, or from contracting tensors of the theory. While the components of... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burnside%27s%20theorem | In mathematics, Burnside's theorem in group theory states that if G is a finite group of order where p and q are prime numbers, and a and b are non-negative integers, then G is solvable. Hence each
non-Abelian finite simple group has order divisible by at least three distinct primes.
History
The theorem was proved by... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrating%20factor | In mathematics, an integrating factor is a function that is chosen to facilitate the solving of a given equation involving differentials. It is commonly used to solve ordinary differential equations, but is also used within multivariable calculus when multiplying through by an integrating factor allows an inexact diffe... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jagged%20array | In computer science, a jagged array, also known as a ragged array or irregular array is an array of arrays of which the member arrays can be of different lengths, producing rows of jagged edges when visualized as output. In contrast, two-dimensional arrays are always rectangular so jagged arrays should not be confu... |
