In mathematics, Eisenstein–Kronecker numbers are an analogue for imaginary quadratic fields of generalized Bernoulli numbers. They are defined in terms of classical Eisenstein–Kronecker series, which were studied by Kenichi Bannai and Shinichi Kobayashi using the Poincaré bundle. Eisenstein–Kronecker numbers are alge...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindenbaum%27s%20lemma
In mathematical logic, Lindenbaum's lemma, named after Adolf Lindenbaum, states that any consistent theory of predicate logic can be extended to a complete consistent theory. The lemma is a special case of the ultrafilter lemma for Boolean algebras, applied to the Lindenbaum algebra of a theory. Uses It is used in the...

Electroceramics are a class of ceramic materials used primarily for their electrical properties. While ceramics have traditionally been admired and used for their mechanical, thermal and chemical stability, their unique electrical, optical and magnetic properties have become of increasing importance in many key techno...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat%20%28geometry%29
In geometry, a flat or affine subspace is a subset of an affine space that is itself an affine space (of equal or lower dimension). In the case the parent space is Euclidean, a flat is a Euclidean subspace which inherits the notion of distance from its parent space. The flats in a plane (two-dimensional space) are poi...

In medicine, a prosthesis (: prostheses; from ), or a prosthetic implant, is an artificial device that replaces a missing body part, which may be lost through trauma, disease, or a condition present at birth (congenital disorder). Prostheses are intended to restore the normal functions of the missing body part. Amputee...
