  2. Generator (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    The 5th roots of unity in the complex plane under multiplication form a group of order 5. Each non-identity element by itself is a generator for the whole group. In mathematics and physics, the term generator or generating set may refer to any of a number of related concepts.

  3. Regular grid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_grid

    Example of a regular grid. A regular grid is a tessellation of n-dimensional Euclidean space by congruent parallelotopes (e.g. bricks). [1] Its opposite is irregular grid.. Grids of this type appear on graph paper and may be used in finite element analysis, finite volume methods, finite difference methods, and in general for discretization of parameter spaces.

  4. General linear group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_linear_group

    In mathematics, the general linear group of degree n is the set of n×n invertible matrices, together with the operation of ordinary matrix multiplication.This forms a group, because the product of two invertible matrices is again invertible, and the inverse of an invertible matrix is invertible, with the identity matrix as the identity element of the group.

    In the Algebra preface of his book, Precalculus Mathematics in a Nutshell, Professor George F. Simmons wrote that the New Math produced students who had "heard of the commutative law, but did not know the multiplication table". [5] In 1965, physicist Richard Feynman wrote in the essay, New Textbooks for the "New" Mathematics:

  6. Mathematics of general relativity - Wikipedia

    Most modern approaches to mathematical general relativity begin with the concept of a manifold.More precisely, the basic physical construct representing gravitation — a curved spacetime — is modelled by a four-dimensional, smooth, connected, Lorentzian manifold.

    The Next Generation Science Standards is a multi-state effort in the United States to create new education standards that are "rich in content and practice, arranged in a coherent manner across disciplines and grades to provide all students an internationally benchmarked science education."

    In the Philippines, some universities follow a 4-Point Scale, which resembles or is equivalent to the U.S. grading system.This system uses a grade between 0.00 to 4.00 wherein 4.00 is the highest and 0.00 being a failing mark.

    It cost $3.2 billion and covers 227 acres (92 ha; 0.355 sq mi). [171] The center is 1,800,000 square feet (17 ha; 0.065 sq mi) [ 171 ] and initially uses 60 megawatts of electricity. [ 182 ] Increments II and III are expected to be completed by 2030 and would quadruple the space, covering 5,800,000 square feet (54 ha; 0.21 sq mi) with 60 ...
