In topology, a branch of mathematics, a retraction is a continuous mapping from a topological space into a subspace that preserves the position of all points in that subspace. [1] The subspace is then called a retract of the original space. A deformation retraction is a mapping that captures the idea of continuously shrinking a space into a ...
An example of a deterministic finite automaton that accepts only binary numbers that are multiples of 3. The state S 0 is both the start state and an accept state. For example, the string "1001" leads to the state sequence S 0, S 1, S 2, S 1, S 0, and is hence accepted.
There are also two SL only courses: a transdisciplinary course, Environmental Systems and Societies, that satisfies Diploma requirements for Groups 3 and 4, [2] and Sports, Exercise and Health Science (previously, for last examinations in 2013, a pilot subject [3]). Astronomy also exists as a school-based syllabus.
In algebra, a unit or invertible element [a] of a ring is an invertible element for the multiplication of the ring. That is, an element u of a ring R is a unit if there exists v in R such that = =, where 1 is the multiplicative identity; the element v is unique for this property and is called the multiplicative inverse of u.
A drawing of a butterfly with bilateral symmetry, with left and right sides as mirror images of each other.. In geometry, an object has symmetry if there is an operation or transformation (such as translation, scaling, rotation or reflection) that maps the figure/object onto itself (i.e., the object has an invariance under the transform).

The above proof uses a contradiction similar to that of the Berry paradox: "1 The 2 smallest 3 positive 4 integer 5 that 6 cannot 7 be 8 defined 9 in 10 fewer 11 than 12 twenty 13 English 14 words". It is also possible to show the non-computability of K by reduction from the non-computability of the halting problem H , since K and H are Turing ...
For any natural number n, projective space P n over a commutative ring R is proper over R. Projective morphisms are proper, but not all proper morphisms are projective. For example, there is a smooth proper complex variety of dimension 3 which is not projective over C. [1]
