The maturation of complex analysis led to general techniques for conformal mapping, where points of a flat surface are handled as numbers on the complex plane.While working at the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey, the American philosopher Charles Sanders Peirce published his projection in 1879, [2] having been inspired by H. A. Schwarz's 1869 conformal transformation of a circle onto a ...
The reverse correlation technique is a data driven study method used primarily in psychological and neurophysiological research. [1] This method earned its name from its origins in neurophysiology, where cross-correlations between white noise stimuli and sparsely occurring neuronal spikes could be computed quicker when only computing it for segments preceding the spikes.
Problems such as this, where model parameters (the location of the activity) have to be estimated from measured data (the SQUID signals) are referred to as inverse problems (in contrast to forward problems [11] where the model parameters (e.g. source location) are known and the data (e.g. the field at a given distance) is to be estimated.)
In mathematics, inverse mapping theorem may refer to: the inverse function theorem on the existence of local inverses for functions with non-singular derivatives the bounded inverse theorem on the boundedness of the inverse for invertible bounded linear operators on Banach spaces
Forty Studies was reviewed by the American Psychological Association after the publication of its second edition in 1995. [2] It has become a well-known textbook in psychology [3] and has received peer-reviewed approval by the Society for the Teaching of Psychology's Project Syllabus [4] for use in both lower-level [5] [6] and upper-level courses.

The inverse problem in optics (or the inverse optics problem [1]) refers to the fundamentally ambiguous mapping between sources of retinal stimulation and the retinal images that are caused by those sources. [2] For example, the size of an object, the orientation of the object, and its distance from the observer are conflated in the retinal image.
In category theory, an epimorphism is a morphism f : X → Y that is right-cancellative in the sense that, for all objects Z and all morphisms g 1, g 2: Y → Z, = =. Epimorphisms are categorical analogues of onto or surjective functions (and in the category of sets the concept corresponds exactly to the surjective functions), but they may not exactly coincide in all contexts; for example, the ...
In psychology, the term names the information maintained in the mind of an organism by means of which it may plan activities, select routes over previously traveled territories, etc. The rapid traversal of a familiar maze depends on this kind of mental map if scents or other markers laid down by the subject are eliminated before the maze is re-run.
