https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laplace%20principle%20%28large%20deviations%20theory%29 | In mathematics, Laplace's principle is a basic theorem in large deviations theory which is similar to Varadhan's lemma. It gives an asymptotic expression for the Lebesgue integral of exp(−θφ(x)) over a fixed set A as θ becomes large. Such expressions can be used, for example, in statistical mechanics to determining the... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SDS%20Sigma%20series | The SDS Sigma series is a series of third generation computers that were introduced by Scientific Data Systems of the United States in 1966.
The first machines in the series are the 16-bit Sigma 2 and the 32-bit Sigma 7; the Sigma 7 was the first 32-bit computer released by SDS. At the time, the only competition for th... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Production%20%28computer%20science%29 | A production or production rule in computer science is a rewrite rule specifying a symbol substitution that can be recursively performed to generate new symbol sequences. A finite set of productions is the main component in the specification of a formal grammar (specifically a generative grammar). The other component... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primary%20airport%20control%20station | Primary Airport Control Station, or PACS, is a survey marker established in the vicinity of an airport and tied directly to the National Spatial Reference System. This control consists of permanent marks with precisely determined latitudes, longitudes and elevations. PACS and SACS are designated by the National Geodeti... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaffard%20ring | In mathematics, a Jaffard ring is a type of ring, more general than a Noetherian ring, for which Krull dimension behaves as expected in polynomial extensions. They are named for Paul Jaffard who first studied them in 1960.
Formally, a Jaffard ring is a ring R such that the polynomial ring
where "dim" denotes Krull d... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurwitz%20surface | In Riemann surface theory and hyperbolic geometry, a Hurwitz surface, named after Adolf Hurwitz, is a compact Riemann surface with precisely 84(g − 1) automorphisms, where g is the genus of the surface. This number is maximal by virtue of Hurwitz's theorem on automorphisms . They are also referred to as Hurwitz curves,... |
