In applied mathematics, a transcendental equation is an equation over the real (or complex) numbers that is not algebraic, that is, if at least one of its sides describes a transcendental function. Examples include: A transcendental equation need not be an equation between elementary functions, although most published...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biholomorphism
In the mathematical theory of functions of one or more complex variables, and also in complex algebraic geometry, a biholomorphism or biholomorphic function is a bijective holomorphic function whose inverse is also holomorphic. Formal definition Formally, a biholomorphic function is a function defined on an open subs...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pivotal%20quantity
In statistics, a pivotal quantity or pivot is a function of observations and unobservable parameters such that the function's probability distribution does not depend on the unknown parameters (including nuisance parameters). A pivot quantity need not be a statistic—the function and its value can depend on the paramete...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacket%20matrix
In mathematics, a jacket matrix is a square symmetric matrix of order n if its entries are non-zero and real, complex, or from a finite field, and where In is the identity matrix, and where T denotes the transpose of the matrix. In other words, the inverse of a jacket matrix is determined its element-wise or ...
