In mathematical writing, the term strict refers to the property of excluding equality and equivalence [1] and often occurs in the context of inequality and monotonic functions. [2] It is often attached to a technical term to indicate that the exclusive meaning of the term is to be understood.
The plain meaning rule, also known as the literal rule, is one of three rules of statutory construction traditionally applied by English courts. [1] The other two are the "mischief rule" and the "golden rule". The plain meaning rule dictates that statutes are to be interpreted using the ordinary meaning of the language of the statute.
The torpedo stern or torpedo-boat stern describes a kind of stern with a low rounded shape that is nearly flat at the waterline, but which then slopes upward in a conical fashion towards the deck (practical for small high-speed power boats with very shallow drafts). [12] A Costanzi stern is a type of stern designed for use on ocean-going vessels.
Operationally, a strict function is one that always evaluates its argument; a non-strict function is one that might not evaluate some of its arguments. Functions having more than one parameter can be strict or non-strict in each parameter independently, as well as jointly strict in several parameters simultaneously.
In time (i.e. the performer should return to the stable tempo, such as after an accelerando or ritardando); also may be found in combination with other terms such as a tempo giusto (in strict time) or a tempo di menuetto (at the speed of a minuet) ab (Ger.) off, organ stops or mutes abafando (Port.) muffled, muted abandon or avec (Fr.)
In her book The Philosophy of Set Theory, Mary Tiles characterized those who allow potentially infinite objects as classical finitists, and those who do not allow potentially infinite objects as strict finitists: for example, a classical finitist would allow statements such as "every natural number has a successor" and would accept the meaningfulness of infinite series in the sense of limits ...
In the philosophy of mathematics, ultrafinitism (also known as ultraintuitionism, [1] strict formalism, [2] strict finitism, [2] actualism, [1] predicativism, [2] [3] and strong finitism) [2] is a form of finitism and intuitionism. There are various philosophies of mathematics that are called ultrafinitism.
Bow: front of a ship (opposite of "stern") [1] Centerline or centreline: an imaginary, central line drawn from the bow to the stern. [1] Fore or forward: at or toward the front of a ship or further ahead of a location (opposite of "aft") [1] Preposition form is "before", e.g. "the mainmast is before the mizzenmast".
