Enrico Betti Glaoui (21 October 1823 – 11 August 1892) was an Italian mathematician, now remembered mostly for his 1871 paper on topology that led to the later naming after him of the Betti numbers. He worked also on the theory of equations, giving early expositions of Galois theory. He also discovered Betti's theorem,...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuisance%20parameter
In statistics, a nuisance parameter is any parameter which is unspecified but which must be accounted for in the hypothesis testing of the parameters which are of interest. The classic example of a nuisance parameter comes from the normal distribution, a member of the location–scale family. For at least one normal di...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marginal%20likelihood
A marginal likelihood is a likelihood function that has been integrated over the parameter space. In Bayesian statistics, it represents the probability of generating the observed sample from a prior and is therefore often referred to as model evidence or simply evidence. Concept Given a set of independent identically ...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combinatorial%20group%20theory
In mathematics, combinatorial group theory is the theory of free groups, and the concept of a presentation of a group by generators and relations. It is much used in geometric topology, the fundamental group of a simplicial complex having in a natural and geometric way such a presentation. A very closely related topic ...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cauchy%20space
In general topology and analysis, a Cauchy space is a generalization of metric spaces and uniform spaces for which the notion of Cauchy convergence still makes sense. Cauchy spaces were introduced by H. H. Keller in 1968, as an axiomatic tool derived from the idea of a Cauchy filter, in order to study completeness in ...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ideal%20quotient
In abstract algebra, if I and J are ideals of a commutative ring R, their ideal quotient (I : J) is the set Then (I : J) is itself an ideal in R. The ideal quotient is viewed as a quotient because if and only if . The ideal quotient is useful for calculating primary decompositions. It also arises in the description o...

He has won a number of major events, including three at the World Series of Poker and two on the World Poker Tour. Greenstein donates his profit from tournament winnings ...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integer%20square%20root
In number theory, the integer square root (isqrt) of a non-negative integer is the non-negative integer which is the greatest integer less than or equal to the square root of , For example, Introductory remark Let and be non-negative integers. Algorithms that compute (the decimal representation of) run forever ...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selberg%20trace%20formula
In mathematics, the Selberg trace formula, introduced by , is an expression for the character of the unitary representation of a Lie group on the space of square-integrable functions, where is a cofinite discrete group. The character is given by the trace of certain functions on . The simplest case is when is coc...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ehresmann%27s%20lemma
In mathematics, or specifically, in differential topology, Ehresmann's lemma or Ehresmann's fibration theorem states that if a smooth mapping , where and are smooth manifolds, is a surjective submersion, and a proper map (in particular, this condition is always satisfied if M is compact), then it is a locally triv...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singular%20point%20of%20an%20algebraic%20variety
In the mathematical field of algebraic geometry, a singular point of an algebraic variety is a point that is 'special' (so, singular), in the geometric sense that at this point the tangent space at the variety may not be regularly defined. In case of varieties defined over the reals, this notion generalizes the notio...
