  2. Seesaw molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seesaw_molecular_geometry

    The name "seesaw" comes from the observation that it looks like a playground seesaw. Most commonly, four bonds to a central atom result in tetrahedral or, less commonly, square planar geometry. The seesaw geometry occurs when a molecule has a steric number of 5, with the central atom being bonded to 4 other atoms and 1 lone pair (AX 4 E 1 in ...

  3. Saccheri quadrilateral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saccheri_Quadrilateral

    While the quadrilaterals are named for Saccheri, they were considered in the works of earlier mathematicians. Saccheri's first proposition states that if two equal lines and form equal angles with the line , the angles at will equal each other; a version of this statement appears in the works of the ninth century scholar Thabit ibn Qurra. [4]

  4. Method of dominant balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_of_dominant_balance

    In mathematics, the method of dominant balance approximates the solution to an equation by solving a simplified form of the equation containing 2 or more of the equation's terms that most influence (dominate) the solution and excluding terms contributing only small modifications to this approximate solution.

  5. Equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equation

    Algebra studies two main families of equations: polynomial equations and, among them, the special case of linear equations. When there is only one variable, polynomial equations have the form P(x) = 0, where P is a polynomial, and linear equations have the form ax + b = 0, where a and b are parameters.

  6. Equality (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    The original form of the symbol was much wider than the present form. In his book, Recorde explains his design of the "Gemowe lines", from the Latin gemellus ('twin'), using two parallel lines to represent equality because he believed that "no two things could be more equal."

  7. Seesaw - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seesaw

    Seesaw in 1792 painting by Francisco de Goya A set of conjoined playground seesaws. A seesaw (also known as a teeter-totter) is a long, narrow board supported by a single pivot point, most commonly located at the midpoint between both ends; as one end goes up, the other goes down.

  8. Bisection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bisection

    An angle bisector divides the angle into two angles with equal measures. An angle only has one bisector. Each point of an angle bisector is equidistant from the sides of the angle. The 'interior' or 'internal bisector' of an angle is the line, half-line, or line segment that

  9. Seesaw mechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seesaw_mechanism

    The name of the seesaw mechanism was given by Tsutomu Yanagida in a Tokyo conference in 1981. There are several types of models, each extending the Standard Model . The simplest version, "Type 1", extends the Standard Model by assuming two or more additional right-handed neutrino fields inert under the electroweak interaction, [ a ] and the ...
