  2. 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 ...

  3. Scientific temper - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_temper

    What is needed] is the scientific approach, the adventurous and yet critical temper of science, the search for truth and new knowledge, the refusal to accept anything without testing and trial, the capacity to change previous conclusions in the face of new evidence, the reliance on observed fact and not on pre-conceived theory, the hard ...

  4. 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.

  5. Mathematics addresses only a part of human experience. Much of human experience does not fall under science or mathematics but under the philosophy of value, including ethics, aesthetics, and political philosophy. To assert that the world can be explained via mathematics amounts to an act of faith. 4. Evolution has primed humans to think ...

  6. Mathematical model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_model

    One of the popular examples in computer science is the mathematical models of various machines, an example is the deterministic finite automaton (DFA) which is defined as an abstract mathematical concept, but due to the deterministic nature of a DFA, it is implementable in hardware and software for solving various specific problems. For example ...

  7. PP (complexity) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PP_(complexity)

    The quantum complexity class BQP is the class of problems solvable in polynomial time on a quantum Turing machine. By adding postselection , a larger class called PostBQP is obtained. Informally, postselection gives the computer the following power: whenever some event (such as measuring a qubit in a certain state) has nonzero probability, you ...

  8. Thermodynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamics

    Matter or energy that pass across the boundary so as to effect a change in the internal energy of the system need to be accounted for in the energy balance equation. The volume contained by the walls can be the region surrounding a single atom resonating energy, such as Max Planck defined in 1900; it can be a body of steam or air in a steam ...

  9. Mathematical universe hypothesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_universe...

    That is, the physical universe is not merely described by mathematics, but is mathematics — specifically, a mathematical structure. Mathematical existence equals physical existence, and all structures that exist mathematically exist physically as well. Observers, including humans, are "self-aware substructures (SASs)".
