  2. Glossary of mathematical symbols - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_mathematical...

    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.

  3. Glossary of mathematical jargon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_mathematical...

    Rigor is a cornerstone quality of mathematics, and can play an important role in preventing mathematics from degenerating into fallacies. well-behaved An object is well-behaved (in contrast with being Pathological ) if it satisfies certain prevailing regularity properties, or if it conforms to mathematical intuition (even though intuition can ...

  4. Capillary action - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capillary_action

    Capillary action of water (polar) compared to mercury (non-polar), in each case with respect to a polar surface such as glass (≡Si–OH). Capillary action (sometimes called capillarity, capillary motion, capillary rise, capillary effect, or wicking) is the process of a liquid flowing in a narrow space without the assistance of external forces like gravity.

  5. Spaces of test functions and distributions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaces_of_test_functions...

    No matter what dual topology is placed on ′ (), [note 13] a sequence of distributions converges in this topology if and only if it converges pointwise (although this need not be true of a net). No matter which topology is chosen, D ′ ( U ) {\displaystyle {\mathcal {D}}^{\prime }(U)} will be a non- metrizable , locally convex topological ...

  6. Tempered representation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tempered_representation

    Any irreducible tempered representation is a basic representation, and conversely any basic representation is the sum of a finite number of irreducible tempered representations. More precisely, it is a direct sum of 2 r irreducible tempered representations indexed by the characters of an elementary abelian group R of order 2 r (called the R ...

  7. Schwartz space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwartz_space

    In mathematics, Schwartz space is the function space of all functions whose derivatives are rapidly decreasing.This space has the important property that the Fourier transform is an automorphism on this space.

  8. Temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temperature

    Average daily variation in human body temperature. Many physical processes are related to temperature; some of them are given below: the physical properties of materials including the phase (solid, liquid, gaseous or plasma), density, solubility, vapor pressure, electrical conductivity, hardness, wear resistance, thermal conductivity, corrosion resistance, strength

  9. Convolution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convolution

    These identities also hold much more broadly in the sense of tempered distributions if one of f or g is a rapidly decreasing tempered distribution, a compactly supported tempered distribution or a Schwartz function and the other is a tempered distribution. On the other hand, two positive integrable and infinitely differentiable functions may ...
