  2. Unit of time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_of_time

    A unit of time is any particular time interval, used as a standard way of measuring or expressing duration. The base unit of time in the International System of Units (SI), and by extension most of the Western world , is the second , defined as about 9 billion oscillations of the caesium atom.

  3. Glossary of mathematical jargon - Wikipedia

    As an example, the sequence is frequently in the interval (1/2, 3/2), because there are arbitrarily large n for which the value of the sequence is in the interval. formal, formally Qualifies anything that is sufficiently precise to be translated straightforwardly in a formal system.

  4. Equation of time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equation_of_time

    The equation of time is the east or west component of the analemma, a curve representing the angular offset of the Sun from its mean position on the celestial sphere as viewed from Earth. The equation of time values for each day of the year, compiled by astronomical observatories, were widely listed in almanacs and ephemerides. [2] [3]: 14

  5. Interval arithmetic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interval_arithmetic

    The main objective of interval arithmetic is to provide a simple way of calculating upper and lower bounds of a function's range in one or more variables. These endpoints are not necessarily the true supremum or infimum of a range since the precise calculation of those values can be difficult or impossible; the bounds only need to contain the function's range as a subset.

    A mathematical symbol is a figure or a combination of figures that is used to represent a mathematical object, an action on mathematical objects, a relation between mathematical objects, or for structuring the other symbols that occur in a formula.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allen's_Interval_Algebra

    Java library implementing Allen's Interval Algebra (incl. data and index structures, e.g., interval tree) OWL-Time Time Ontology in OWL an OWL-2 DL ontology of temporal concepts, for describing the temporal properties of resources in the world or described in Web pages. GQR is a reasoner for Allen's interval algebra (and many others)

  8. Time dilation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_dilation

    where Δt is the time interval between two co-local events (i.e. happening at the same place) for an observer in some inertial frame (e.g. ticks on their clock), known as the proper time, Δt′ is the time interval between those same events, as measured by another observer, inertially moving with velocity v with respect to the former observer ...

  9. Interval (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    An interval is said to be bounded, if it is both left- and right-bounded; and is said to be unbounded otherwise. Intervals that are bounded at only one end are said to be half-bounded. The empty set is bounded, and the set of all reals is the only interval that is unbounded at both ends. Bounded intervals are also commonly known as finite ...
