  2. Complex number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_number

    A complex number can be visually represented as a pair of numbers (a, b) forming a vector on a diagram called an Argand diagram, representing the complex plane. Re is the real axis, Im is the imaginary axis, and i is the "imaginary unit", that satisfies i 2 = −1.

  3. Degree symbol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degree_symbol

    In the case of degrees of angular arc, the degree symbol follows the number without any intervening space, e.g. 30°.The addition of minute and second of arc follows the degree units, with intervening spaces (optionally, non-breaking space) between the sexagesimal degree subdivisions but no spaces between the numbers and units, for example 30° 12 ′ 5″.

    His innovative research and publications in the fields of software architecture, artificial intelligence, service-oriented architecture, Microservices, model-driven engineering, cloud computing, cybersecurity, and big data are recognized internationally for their contribution to the software design and development communities.

  5. Strain (mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strain_(mechanics)

    In mechanics, strain is defined as relative deformation, compared to a reference position configuration. Different equivalent choices may be made for the expression of a strain field depending on whether it is defined with respect to the initial or the final configuration of the body and on whether the metric tensor or its dual is considered.

  6. Logarithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logarithm

    In mathematics, the logarithm of a number is the exponent by which another fixed value, the base, must be raised to produce that number.For example, the logarithm of 1000 to base 10 is 3, because 1000 is 10 to the 3 rd power: 1000 = 10 3 = 10 × 10 × 10.

  7. Infinitesimal strain theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinitesimal_strain_theory

    In continuum mechanics, the infinitesimal strain theory is a mathematical approach to the description of the deformation of a solid body in which the displacements of the material particles are assumed to be much smaller (indeed, infinitesimally smaller) than any relevant dimension of the body; so that its geometry and the constitutive properties of the material (such as density and stiffness ...

  8. Z-transform - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z-transform

    In signal processing, this definition can be used to evaluate the Z-transform of the unit impulse response of a discrete-time causal system.. An important example of the unilateral Z-transform is the probability-generating function, where the component [] is the probability that a discrete random variable takes the value.
