https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dumaresq
The Dumaresq is a mechanical calculating device invented around 1902 by Lieutenant John Dumaresq of the Royal Navy. It is a computer that relates vital variables of the fire control problem to the movement of one's own ship and that of a target ship. It was often used with other devices, such as a Vickers range clock,...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beveridge%20curve
A Beveridge curve, or UV curve, is a graphical representation of the relationship between unemployment and the job vacancy rate, the number of unfilled jobs expressed as a proportion of the labour force. It typically has vacancies on the vertical axis and unemployment on the horizontal. The curve, named after William B...

The maximal ergodic theorem is a theorem in ergodic theory, a discipline within mathematics. Suppose that is a probability space, that is a (possibly noninvertible) measure-preserving transformation, and that . Define by Then the maximal ergodic theorem states that for any λ ∈ R. This theorem is used to prove th...
