  2. Thermocline - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermocline

    Waves can occur on the thermocline, causing the depth of the thermocline as measured at a single location to oscillate (usually as a form of seiche). Alternately, the waves may be induced by flow over a raised bottom, producing a thermocline wave which does not change with time, but varies in depth as one moves into or against the flow.

  3. Glossary of mathematical symbols - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_mathematical...

    A mathematical symbol is a figure or a combination of figures that is used to represent a mathematical object, an action on mathematical objects, a relation between mathematical objects, or for structuring the other symbols that occur in a formula.

  4. Number line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_line

    The order of the natural numbers shown on the number line. A number line is a graphical representation of a straight line that serves as spatial representation of numbers, usually graduated like a ruler with a particular origin point representing the number zero and evenly spaced marks in either direction representing integers, imagined to extend infinitely.

  5. Linking number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linking_number

    The self-linking number obtained by moving vertically (along the blackboard framing) is known as Kauffman's self-linking number. The linking number is defined for two linked circles; given three or more circles, one can define the Milnor invariants , which are a numerical invariant generalizing linking number.

  6. Glossary of mathematical jargon - Wikipedia

    One can also speak of "almost all" integers having a property to mean "all except finitely many", despite the integers not admitting a measure for which this agrees with the previous usage. For example, "almost all prime numbers are odd". There is a more complicated meaning for integers as well, discussed in the main article.

  7. Vinculum (symbol) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinculum_(symbol)

    A vinculum can indicate a line segment where A and B are the endpoints: ¯. A vinculum can indicate the repetend of a repeating decimal value: 1 ⁄ 7 = 0. 142857 = 0.1428571428571428571... A vinculum can indicate the complex conjugate of a complex number: + ¯ =

  8. ISO 31-11 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_31-11

    ISO 31-11:1992 was the part of international standard ISO 31 that defines mathematical signs and symbols for use in physical sciences and technology.It was superseded in 2009 by ISO 80000-2:2009 and subsequently revised in 2019 as ISO-80000-2:2019.

  9. Rose (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    Since k = 4 is an even number, the rose has 2k = 8 petals. Line segments connecting successive peaks lie on the circle r = 1 and will form an octagon. Since one peak is at (1,0) the octagon makes sketching the graph relatively easy after the half-cycle boundaries (corresponding to apothems) are drawn. The rose specified by r = cos(7θ).
