2. Mathematical game - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_game

   For example, even though the rules of Mancala are relatively basic, the game can be rigorously analyzed through the lens of combinatorial game theory. [ citation needed ] Mathematical games differ sharply from mathematical puzzles in that mathematical puzzles require specific mathematical expertise to complete, whereas mathematical games do not ...

3. Mathematical puzzle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_puzzle

   Mathematical puzzles require mathematics to solve them. Logic puzzles are a common type of mathematical puzzle. Conway's Game of Life and fractals, as two examples, may also be considered mathematical puzzles even though the solver interacts with them only at the beginning by providing a set of initial conditions. After these conditions are set ...

4. Tempered representation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tempered_representation

   In other words, tempered representations are precisely the class of representations of G appearing in the spectral decomposition of L 2 functions on the group (while discrete series representations have a stronger property that an individual representation has a positive spectral measure). This stands in contrast with the situation for abelian ...

5. Spaces of test functions and distributions - Wikipedia

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

   If = then the use of Schwartz functions [note 1] as test functions gives rise to a certain subspace of ′ whose elements are called tempered distributions. These are important because they allow the Fourier transform to be extended from "standard functions" to tempered distributions.

6. Recreational mathematics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recreational_mathematics

   Recreational mathematics is not easily defined because it is more than mathematics done as a diversion or playing games that involve mathematics. Recreational mathematics is inspired by deep ideas that are hidden in puzzles, games, and other forms of play.

7. 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 ...

8. Second law of thermodynamics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_law_of_thermodynamics

   The second law of thermodynamics is a physical law based on universal empirical observation concerning heat and energy interconversions.A simple statement of the law is that heat always flows spontaneously from hotter to colder regions of matter (or 'downhill' in terms of the temperature gradient).

9. Word game - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word_game

   Word games are spoken, board, card or video games often designed to test ability with language or to explore its properties. Word games are generally used as a source of entertainment , but can additionally serve an educational purpose.
