  2. Characterization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Characterization

    Characterization or characterisation is the representation of characters (persons, creatures, or other beings) in narrative and dramatic works. The term character development is sometimes used as a synonym. This representation may include direct methods like the attribution of qualities in description or commentary, and indirect (or "dramatic ...

  3. Characterization (materials science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Characterization...

    Characterization, when used in materials science, refers to the broad and general process by which a material's structure and properties are probed and measured. It is a fundamental process in the field of materials science, without which no scientific understanding of engineering materials could be ascertained. [1][2] The scope of the term ...

  4. Characterization (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Characterization_(mathematics)

    Characterization (mathematics) In mathematics, a characterization of an object is a set of conditions that, while possibly different from the definition of the object, is logically equivalent to it. [1] To say that "Property P characterizes object X " is to say that not only does X have property P, but that X is the only thing that has property ...

  5. Characterizations of the exponential function - Wikipedia

    Characterisation 3 involves defining the natural logarithm before the exponential function is defined. First, This means that the natural logarithm of equals the (signed) area under the graph of between and . If , then this area is taken to be negative. Then, is defined as the inverse of , meaning that by the definition of an inverse function.

  6. Character theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Character_theory

    Character theory. In mathematics, more specifically in group theory, the character of a group representation is a function on the group that associates to each group element the trace of the corresponding matrix. The character carries the essential information about the representation in a more condensed form.

  7. Method of characteristics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_of_characteristics

    e. In mathematics, the method of characteristics is a technique for solving partial differential equations. Typically, it applies to first-order equations, although more generally the method of characteristics is valid for any hyperbolic and parabolic partial differential equation.

  8. Polymer characterization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymer_characterization

    Polymer characterization is the analytical branch of polymer science. The discipline is concerned with the characterization of polymeric materials on a variety of levels. The characterization typically has as a goal to improve the performance of the material. As such, many characterization techniques should ideally be linked to the desirable ...

  9. Characterization of probability distributions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Characterization_of...

    This is the general model of characterization of probability distribution. Some examples of characterization theorems: The assumption that two linear (or non-linear) statistics are identically distributed (or independent, or have a constancy regression and so on) can be used to characterize various populations.
