https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum%20Aspects%20of%20Life | Quantum Aspects of Life, a book published in 2008 with a foreword by Roger Penrose, explores the open question of the role of quantum mechanics at molecular scales of relevance to biology. The book contains chapters written by various world-experts from a 2003 symposium and includes two debates from 2003 to 2004; givin... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algorism | Algorism is the technique of performing basic arithmetic by writing numbers in place value form and applying a set of memorized rules and facts to the digits. One who practices algorism is known as an algorist. This positional notation system has largely superseded earlier calculation systems that used a different set ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parameter%20space | The parameter space is the space of possible parameter values that define a particular mathematical model, often a subset of finite-dimensional Euclidean space. Often the parameters are inputs of a function, in which case the technical term for the parameter space is domain of a function. The ranges of values of the pa... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive-real%20function | Positive-real functions, often abbreviated to PR function or PRF, are a kind of mathematical function that first arose in electrical network synthesis. They are complex functions, Z(s), of a complex variable, s. A rational function is defined to have the PR property if it has a positive real part and is analytic in th... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline%20of%20trigonometry | The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to trigonometry:
Trigonometry – branch of mathematics that studies the relationships between the sides and the angles in triangles. Trigonometry defines the trigonometric functions, which describe those relationships and have applicability to cyclic... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multilink%20striping | Multilink striping is a type of data striping used in telecommunications to achieve higher throughput or increase the resilience of a network connection by data aggregation over multiple network links simultaneously.
Multipath routing and multilink striping are often used synonymously. However, there are some differen... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List%20of%207400-series%20integrated%20circuits | The following is a list of 7400-series digital logic integrated circuits. In the mid-1960s, the original 7400-series integrated circuits were introduced by Texas Instruments with the prefix "SN" to create the name SN74xx. Due to the popularity of these parts, other manufacturers released pin-to-pin compatible logic de... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software%20engineering%20professionalism | Software engineering professionalism is a movement to make software engineering a profession, with aspects such as degree and certification programs, professional associations, professional ethics, and government licensing. The field is a licensed discipline in Texas in the United States (Texas Board of Professional E... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List%20of%20topologies | The following is a list of named topologies or topological spaces, many of which are counterexamples in topology and related branches of mathematics. This is not a list of properties that a topology or topological space might possess; for that, see List of general topology topics and Topological property.
