  2. Forcing (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    Forcing is usually used to construct an expanded universe that satisfies some desired property. For example, the expanded universe might contain many new real numbers (at least of them), identified with subsets of the set of natural numbers, that were not there in the old universe, and thereby violate the continuum hypothesis.

  3. Triple helix model of innovation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_helix_model_of...

    The triple helix model of innovation, as theorized by Etzkowitz and Leydesdorff, is based on the interactions between the three following elements and their associated 'initial role': [9] universities engaging in basic research, industries producing commercial goods and governments that are regulating markets. [2]

  4. Spherical law of cosines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_law_of_cosines

    Let u, v, and w denote the unit vectors from the center of the sphere to those corners of the triangle. We have u · u = 1, v · w = cos c, u · v = cos a, and u · w = cos b.The vectors u × v and u × w have lengths sin a and sin b respectively and the angle between them is C, so ⁡ ⁡ ⁡ = () = () () = ⁡ ⁡ ⁡

  5. Iterated forcing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iterated_forcing

    In iterated forcing, one has a transfinite sequence P α of forcing notions indexed by some ordinals α, which give a family of Boolean-valued models V P α. If α+1 is a successor ordinal then P α+1 is often constructed from P α using a forcing notion in V P α , while if α is a limit ordinal then P α is often constructed as some sort of ...

  6. Taguchi methods - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taguchi_methods

    Taguchi methods (Japanese: タグチメソッド) are statistical methods, sometimes called robust design methods, developed by Genichi Taguchi to improve the quality of manufactured goods, and more recently also applied to engineering, [1] biotechnology, [2] [3] marketing and advertising. [4]

  7. Method of exhaustion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_of_exhaustion

    Proposition 2: The area of circles is proportional to the square of their diameters. [3] Proposition 5: The volumes of two tetrahedra of the same height are proportional to the areas of their triangular bases. [4] Proposition 10: The volume of a cone is a third of the volume of the corresponding cylinder which has the same base and height. [5]

  8. Generalized method of moments - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalized_method_of_moments

    In econometrics and statistics, the generalized method of moments (GMM) is a generic method for estimating parameters in statistical models.Usually it is applied in the context of semiparametric models, where the parameter of interest is finite-dimensional, whereas the full shape of the data's distribution function may not be known, and therefore maximum likelihood estimation is not applicable.

  9. Subitizing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subitizing

    Such research compares the brain activity associated with enumeration processes inside (i.e., 1–4 items) for subitizing, and outside (i.e., 5–8 items) for counting. [ 18 ] [ 19 ] Such research finds that within the subitizing and counting range activation occurs bilaterally in the occipital extrastriate cortex and superior parietal lobe ...
