2. Absement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absement

   It is the first time-integral of the displacement [3] [4] (i.e. absement is the area under a displacement vs. time graph), so the displacement is the rate of change (first time-derivative) of the absement. The dimension of absement is length multiplied by time.

3. Motion graphs and derivatives - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_graphs_and_derivatives

   Since the velocity of the object is the derivative of the position graph, the area under the line in the velocity vs. time graph is the displacement of the object. (Velocity is on the y-axis and time on the x-axis. Multiplying the velocity by the time, the time cancels out, and only displacement remains.)

4. Discrete calculus - Wikipedia

   Then the area of the rectangle with base and height gives the distance (time multiplied by speed ) traveled in that segment. Associated with each segment is the value of the function above it, () =. The sum of all such rectangles gives the area between the axis and the piece-wise constant curve, which is the total distance traveled.

5. Length contraction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Length_contraction

   The length of the rod can be computed by multiplying its travel time by its velocity, thus = in the rod's rest frame or = in the clock's rest frame. [ 14 ] In Newtonian mechanics, simultaneity and time duration are absolute and therefore both methods lead to the equality of L {\displaystyle L} and L 0 {\displaystyle L_{0}} .

6. Metric space - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_space

   In mathematics, a metric space is a set together with a notion of distance between its elements, usually called points. The distance is measured by a function called a metric or distance function. [1] Metric spaces are the most general setting for studying many of the concepts of mathematical analysis and geometry.

7. Distance (graph theory) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distance_(graph_theory)

   A metric space defined over a set of points in terms of distances in a graph defined over the set is called a graph metric. The vertex set (of an undirected graph) and the distance function form a metric space, if and only if the graph is connected. The eccentricity ϵ(v) of a vertex v is the greatest distance between v and any other vertex; in ...

8. Difference of two squares - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Difference_of_two_squares

   A ramification of the difference of consecutive squares, Galileo's law of odd numbers states that the distance covered by an object falling without resistance in uniform gravity in successive equal time intervals is linearly proportional to the odd numbers. That is, if a body falling from rest covers a certain distance during an arbitrary time ...

9. Power law - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_law

   Usually, this estimator is the proportion of times that the number occurs in the data set. If the points in the plot tend to converge to a straight line for large numbers in the x axis, then the researcher concludes that the distribution has a power-law tail. Examples of the application of these types of plot have been published. [61]
