https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistical%20literacy
Statistical literacy is the ability to understand and reason with statistics and data. The abilities to understand and reason with data, or arguments that use data, are necessary for citizens to understand material presented in publications such as newspapers, television, and the Internet. However, scientists also need...

Many Catholics have made significant contributions to the development of science and mathematics from the Middle Ages to today. These scientists include Galileo Galilei, René Descartes, Louis Pasteur, Blaise Pascal, André-Marie Ampère, Charles-Augustin de Coulomb, Pierre de Fermat, Antoine Laurent Lavoisier, Alessandro...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small%20Latin%20squares%20and%20quasigroups
Latin squares and quasigroups are equivalent mathematical objects, although the former has a combinatorial nature while the latter is more algebraic. The listing below will consider the examples of some very small orders, which is the side length of the square, or the number of elements in the equivalent quasigroup. T...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetrically%20continuous%20function
In mathematics, a function is symmetrically continuous at a point x if The usual definition of continuity implies symmetric continuity, but the converse is not true. For example, the function is symmetrically continuous at , but not continuous. Also, symmetric differentiability implies symmetric continuity, but the...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second%20derivative
In calculus, the second derivative, or the second-order derivative, of a function is the derivative of the derivative of . Informally, the second derivative can be phrased as "the rate of change of the rate of change"; for example, the second derivative of the position of an object with respect to time is the instanta...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflection%20principle
In set theory, a branch of mathematics, a reflection principle says that it is possible to find sets that, with respect to any given property, resemble the class of all sets. There are several different forms of the reflection principle depending on exactly what is meant by "resemble". Weak forms of the reflection prin...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflection%20theorem
In algebraic number theory, a reflection theorem or Spiegelungssatz (German for reflection theorem – see Spiegel and Satz) is one of a collection of theorems linking the sizes of different ideal class groups (or ray class groups), or the sizes of different isotypic components of a class group. The original example is ...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proth%27s%20theorem
In number theory, Proth's theorem is a primality test for Proth numbers. It states that if p is a Proth number, of the form k2n + 1 with k odd and k < 2n, and if there exists an integer a for which then p is prime. In this case p is called a Proth prime. This is a practical test because if p is prime, any chosen a ha...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coadjoint%20representation
In mathematics, the coadjoint representation of a Lie group is the dual of the adjoint representation. If denotes the Lie algebra of , the corresponding action of on , the dual space to , is called the coadjoint action. A geometrical interpretation is as the action by left-translation on the space of right-invarian...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sum%20of%20normally%20distributed%20random%20variables
In probability theory, calculation of the sum of normally distributed random variables is an instance of the arithmetic of random variables. This is not to be confused with the sum of normal distributions which forms a mixture distribution. Independent random variables Let X and Y be independent random variables that...
