Species counterpoint generally offers less freedom to the composer than other types of counterpoint and therefore is called a "strict" counterpoint. The student gradually attains the ability to write free counterpoint (that is, less rigorously constrained counterpoint, usually without a cantus firmus) according to the given rules at the time ...
For example, if the variance of a random variable is said to be finite, this implies it is a non-negative real number, possibly zero. In some contexts though, for example in "a small but finite amplitude", zero and infinitesimals are meant to be excluded.
For example, quotient set, quotient group, quotient category, etc. 3. In number theory and field theory, / denotes a field extension, where F is an extension field of the field E. 4. In probability theory, denotes a conditional probability. For example, (/) denotes the probability of A, given that B occurs.
In music, counterpoint is a texture involving the simultaneous sounding of separate melodies or lines "against" each other. Counterpoint may also refer to: Music
The generator of any continuous symmetry implied by Noether's theorem, the generators of a Lie group being a special case. In this case, a generator is sometimes called a charge or Noether charge, examples include: angular momentum as the generator of rotations, [3] linear momentum as the generator of translations, [3]
The claim: Climate change has only had 'positive effects' on global food production. An Oct. 20 Facebook post (direct link, archive link) includes a graph that shows global wheat, rice and coarse ...

In statistics and computational geometry, the notion of centerpoint is a generalization of the median to data in higher-dimensional Euclidean space.Given a set of points in d-dimensional space, a centerpoint of the set is a point such that any hyperplane that goes through that point divides the set of points in two roughly equal subsets: the smaller part should have at least a 1/(d + 1 ...
