  2. Tetrachromacy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrachromacy

    The four pigments in a bird's cone cells (in this example, estrildid finches) extend the range of color vision into the ultraviolet. [1]Tetrachromacy (from Greek tetra, meaning "four" and chroma, meaning "color") is the condition of possessing four independent channels for conveying color information, or possessing four types of cone cell in the eye.

  3. Biological pigment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_pigment

    Pigment color differs from structural color in that it is the same for all viewing angles, whereas structural color is the result of selective reflection or iridescence, usually because of multilayer structures. For example, butterfly wings typically contain structural color, although many butterflies have cells that contain pigment as well. [3]

  4. List coloring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_coloring

    For a graph G, let χ(G) denote the chromatic number and Δ(G) the maximum degree of G.The list coloring number ch(G) satisfies the following properties.. ch(G) ≥ χ(G).A k-list-colorable graph must in particular have a list coloring when every vertex is assigned the same list of k colors, which corresponds to a usual k-coloring.

    Biology is the scientific study of life. [1] [2] [3] It is a natural science with a broad scope but has several unifying themes that tie it together as a single, coherent field.

  6. Mathematical and theoretical biology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_and...

    Mathematical and theoretical biology, or biomathematics, is a branch of biology which employs theoretical analysis, mathematical models and abstractions of living organisms to investigate the principles that govern the structure, development and behavior of the systems, as opposed to experimental biology which deals with the conduction of ...

  7. Color of chemicals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_of_chemicals

    The color of chemicals is a physical property of chemicals that in most cases comes from the excitation of electrons due to an absorption of energy performed by the chemical. The study of chemical structure by means of energy absorption and release is generally referred to as spectroscopy .

  8. Domain coloring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_coloring

    Domain coloring plot of the function f(x) = ⁠ (x 2 − 1)(x − 2 − i) 2 / x 2 + 2 + 2i ⁠, using the structured color function described below. In complex analysis, domain coloring or a color wheel graph is a technique for visualizing complex functions by assigning a color to each point of the complex plane. By assigning points on the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematics

    The two subjects of mathematical logic and set theory have belonged to mathematics since the end of the 19th century. [ 46 ] [ 47 ] Before this period, sets were not considered to be mathematical objects, and logic , although used for mathematical proofs, belonged to philosophy and was not specifically studied by mathematicians.
