https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fr%C3%A9chet%20manifold | In mathematics, in particular in nonlinear analysis, a Fréchet manifold is a topological space modeled on a Fréchet space in much the same way as a manifold is modeled on a Euclidean space.
More precisely, a Fréchet manifold consists of a Hausdorff space with an atlas of coordinate charts over Fréchet spaces whose tr... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thial | In organic chemistry, a thial or thioaldehyde is a functional group which is similar to an aldehyde, , in which a sulfur (S) atom replaces the oxygen (O) atom of the aldehyde (R represents an alkyl or aryl group). Thioaldehydes are even more reactive than thioketones. Unhindered thioaldehydes are generally too reactive... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple%20%28abstract%20algebra%29 | In mathematics, the term simple is used to describe an algebraic structure which in some sense cannot be divided by a smaller structure of the same type. Put another way, an algebraic structure is simple if the kernel of every homomorphism is either the whole structure or a single element. Some examples are:
A group ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brauer%20algebra | In mathematics, a Brauer algebra is an associative algebra introduced by Richard Brauer in the context of the representation theory of the orthogonal group. It plays the same role that the symmetric group does for the representation theory of the general linear group in Schur–Weyl duality.
Structure
The Brauer algeb... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semisimple%20algebra | In ring theory, a branch of mathematics, a semisimple algebra is an associative artinian algebra over a field which has trivial Jacobson radical (only the zero element of the algebra is in the Jacobson radical). If the algebra is finite-dimensional this is equivalent to saying that it can be expressed as a Cartesian pr... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Describing%20function | In control systems theory, the describing function (DF) method, developed by Nikolay Mitrofanovich Krylov and Nikolay Bogoliubov in the 1930s, and extended by Ralph Kochenburger is an approximate procedure for analyzing certain nonlinear control problems. It is based on quasi-linearization, which is the approximatio... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tension%20%28physics%29 | In physics, tension is described as the pulling force transmitted axially by the means of a string, a rope, chain, or similar object, or by each end of a rod, truss member, or similar three-dimensional object; tension might also be described as the action-reaction pair of forces acting at each end of said elements. Ten... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coefficient%20%28disambiguation%29 | Coefficient could have one of the following meanings:
Mathematics
A coefficient is a constant multiplication of a function.
The term differential coefficient has been mostly displaced by the modern term derivative.
Computing
In computer arithmetics, the term coefficient (floating point number) is also sometimes... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second%20partial%20derivative%20test | In mathematics, the second partial derivative test is a method in multivariable calculus used to determine if a critical point of a function is a local minimum, maximum or saddle point.

Suppose that is a differentiable real function of two variables whose second partial derivatives exist an... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial%20transformation | In mathematics, a polynomial transformation consists of computing the polynomial whose roots are a given function of the roots of a polynomial. Polynomial transformations such as Tschirnhaus transformations are often used to simplify the solution of algebraic equations.
