  2. Identity of indiscernibles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identity_of_indiscernibles

    An example (detailed below) is the predicate that denotes whether an object is equal to x (often considered a valid predicate). As a consequence, there are a few different versions of the principle in the philosophical literature, of varying logical strength—and some of them are termed "the strong principle" or "the weak principle" by ...

  3. Euler's identity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_identity

    Euler's identity is considered an exemplar of mathematical beauty, as it shows a profound connection between the most fundamental numbers in mathematics. In addition, it is directly used in a proof [ 3 ] [ 4 ] that π is transcendental , which implies the impossibility of squaring the circle .

  4. Signature (logic) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signature_(logic)

    In logic, especially mathematical logic, a signature lists and describes the non-logical symbols of a formal language. In universal algebra, a signature lists the operations that characterize an algebraic structure. In model theory, signatures are used for both purposes. They are rarely made explicit in more philosophical treatments of logic.

  5. Metric signature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_signature

    The signature of a metric tensor is defined as the signature of the corresponding quadratic form. [2] It is the number (v, p, r) of positive, negative and zero eigenvalues of any matrix (i.e. in any basis for the underlying vector space) representing the form, counted with their algebraic multiplicities.

  6. Measurement and signature intelligence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Measurement_and_Signature...

    The signature is used to recognize the phenomenon (the equipment or object) once its distinctive features are detected. [4] MASINT measurement searches for differences from known norms, and characterizes the signatures of new phenomena. For example, the first time a new rocket fuel exhaust is measured, it would be a deviation from a norm.

  7. Privacy-enhancing technologies - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Privacy-enhancing_technologies

    Ring signature is a type of digital signature that can be performed by any member of a set of users that each have a pair of cryptographic keys. Format-preserving encryption (FPE), refers to encrypting in such a way that the output (the ciphertext ) is in the same format as the input (the plaintext)

  8. Gathering of personally identifiable information - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gathering_of_personally...

    The gathering of personally identifiable information (PII) refers to the collection of public and private personal data that can be used to identify individuals for various purposes, both legal and illegal. PII gathering is often seen as a privacy threat by data owners, while entities such as technology companies, governments, and organizations ...

  9. Pi - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi

    The number π (/ p aɪ / ⓘ; spelled out as "pi") is a mathematical constant, approximately equal to 3.14159, that is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter.It appears in many formulae across mathematics and physics, and some of these formulae are commonly used for defining π, to avoid relying on the definition of the length of a curve.
