Polygon partition. In geometry, a partition of a polygon is a set of primitive units (e.g. squares), which do not overlap and whose union equals the polygon. A polygon partition problem is a problem of finding a partition which is minimal in some sense, for example a partition with a smallest number of units or with units of smallest total side ...
Before the Renaissance, mathematics was divided into two main areas: arithmetic, regarding the manipulation of numbers, and geometry, regarding the study of shapes. [17] Some types of pseudoscience, such as numerology and astrology, were not then clearly distinguished from mathematics. [18] During the Renaissance, two more areas appeared.
Packing problems are a class of optimization problems in mathematics that involve attempting to pack objects together into containers. The goal is to either pack a single container as densely as possible or pack all objects using as few containers as possible. Many of these problems can be related to real-life packaging, storage and ...
A more general version states that when a parent branch splits into two or more child branches, the surface areas of the child branches add up to that of the parent branch. [40] An equivalent formulation is that if a parent branch splits into two child branches, then the cross-sectional diameters of the parent and the two child branches form a ...
The input data was a table with a row for each member of Congress, and columns for certain votes containing each member's yes/no/abstain vote. The SOM algorithm arranged these members in a two-dimensional grid placing similar members closer together. The first plot shows the grouping when the data are split into two clusters.
In octahedral symmetry the d-orbitals split into two sets with an energy difference, Δ oct (the crystal-field splitting parameter, also commonly denoted by 10Dq for ten times the "differential of quanta" [3] [4]) where the d xy, d xz and d yz orbitals will be lower in energy than the d z 2 and d x 2-y 2, which will have higher energy, because ...
Proof using similar triangles. This proof is based on the proportionality of the sides of three similar triangles, that is, upon the fact that the ratio of any two corresponding sides of similar triangles is the same regardless of the size of the triangles. Let ABC represent a right triangle, with the right angle located at C, as shown on the ...
Hadamard factorization theorem. In mathematics, and particularly in the field of complex analysis, the Hadamard factorization theorem asserts that every entire function with finite order can be represented as a product involving its zeroes and an exponential of a polynomial. It is named for Jacques Hadamard .
