https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delannoy%20number
In mathematics, a Delannoy number describes the number of paths from the southwest corner (0, 0) of a rectangular grid to the northeast corner (m, n), using only single steps north, northeast, or east. The Delannoy numbers are named after French army officer and amateur mathematician Henri Delannoy. The Delannoy numb...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extraneous%20and%20missing%20solutions
In mathematics, an extraneous solution (or spurious solution) is a solution, such as that to an equation, that emerges from the process of solving the problem but is not a valid solution to the problem. A missing solution is a solution that is a valid solution to the problem, but disappeared during the process of solvi...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schmidt%20net
The Schmidt net is a manual drafting method for the Lambert azimuthal equal-area projection using graph paper. It results in one lateral hemisphere of the Earth with the grid of parallels and meridians. The method is common in geoscience. Construction In the figure, the area-preserving property of the projection can b...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereoplotter
A stereoplotter uses stereo photographs to determine elevations. It has been the primary method to plot contour lines on topographic maps since the 1930s. Although the specific devices have advanced technologically, they are all based on the apparent change in position of a feature in the two stereo photographs. Stere...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Class%20II%20bacteriocin
Class II bacteriocins are a class of small peptides that inhibit the growth of various bacteria. Many Gram-positive bacteria produce ribosomally synthesized antimicrobial peptides, termed bacteriocins. Bacteriocins for which disulfide bonds are the only modification to the peptide are Class II bacteriocins. Class I...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardy%E2%80%93Ramanujan%20theorem
In mathematics, the Hardy–Ramanujan theorem, proved by Ramanujan and checked by Hardy states that the normal order of the number ω(n) of distinct prime factors of a number n is log(log(n)). Roughly speaking, this means that most numbers have about this number of distinct prime factors. Precise statement A more preci...
