  2. Map (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    A map is a function, as in the association of any of the four colored shapes in X to its color in Y. In mathematics, a map or mapping is a function in its general sense. [1] These terms may have originated as from the process of making a geographical map: mapping the Earth surface to a sheet of paper. [2]

  3. Spatial Mathematics: Theory and Practice through Mapping

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spatial_Mathematics:...

    Chapter 6 concerns the types of data to be visualized, and the types of visualizations that can be made for them. Chapter 7 concerns spatial hierarchies and central place theory, while chapter 8 covers the analysis of spatial distributions in terms of their covariance. Finally, chapter 10 covers network and non-Euclidean data. [1] [3]

  4. Retraction (topology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retraction_(topology)

    A continuous map : [,] is a deformation retraction of a space X onto a subspace A if, for every x in X and a in A, (,) =, (,), (,) =.In other words, a deformation retraction is a homotopy between a retraction and the identity map on X.

  5. Germ (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    In mathematics, the notion of a germ of an object in/on a topological space is an equivalence class of that object and others of the same kind that captures their shared local properties. In particular, the objects in question are mostly functions (or maps ) and subsets .

    Convolution. Cauchy product –is the discrete convolution of two sequences; Farey sequence – the sequence of completely reduced fractions between 0 and 1; Oscillation – is the behaviour of a sequence of real numbers or a real-valued function, which does not converge, but also does not diverge to +∞ or −∞; and is also a quantitative measure for that.

    Indicator function: maps x to either 1 or 0, depending on whether or not x belongs to some subset. Step function: A finite linear combination of indicator functions of half-open intervals. Heaviside step function: 0 for negative arguments and 1 for positive arguments. The integral of the Dirac delta function. Sawtooth wave; Square wave ...

  8. Map algebra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Map_algebra

    Map algebra is an algebra for manipulating geographic data, primarily fields.Developed by Dr. Dana Tomlin and others in the late 1970s, it is a set of primitive operations in a geographic information system (GIS) which allows one or more raster layers ("maps") of similar dimensions to produce a new raster layer (map) using mathematical or other operations such as addition, subtraction etc.

  9. Pointed set - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pointed_set

    Pointed maps are the homomorphisms of these algebraic structures. The class of all pointed sets together with the class of all based maps forms a category. Every pointed set can be converted to an ordinary set by forgetting the basepoint (the forgetful functor is faithful), but the reverse is not true.
