  2. Chert - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chert

    Chert (/ tʃ ɜːr t /) is a hard, fine-grained sedimentary rock composed of microcrystalline or cryptocrystalline quartz, [1] the mineral form of silicon dioxide (SiO 2). [2] Chert is characteristically of biological origin, but may also occur inorganically as a chemical precipitate or a diagenetic replacement, as in petrified wood. [3]

  3. Function composition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_composition

    The composition is defined in the same way for partial functions and Cayley's theorem has its analogue called the Wagner–Preston theorem. [23] The category of sets with functions as morphisms is the prototypical category. The axioms of a category are in fact inspired from the properties (and also the definition) of function composition. [24]

  4. Radiolarite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiolarite

    The compaction of radiolarites is dependent on their chemical composition and correlates positively with the original SiO 2-content. The compaction factor varies generally between 3.2 and 5, which means that 1 meter of consolidated sediment is equivalent to 3.2 to 5 meters of ooze.

  5. Compositional data - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compositional_data

    The only information is given by the ratios between components, so the information of a composition is preserved under multiplication by any positive constant. Therefore, the sample space of compositional data can always be assumed to be a standard simplex, i.e. κ = 1 {\displaystyle \kappa =1} .

  6. Composition (combinatorics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composition_(combinatorics)

    In mathematics, a composition of an integer n is a way of writing n as the sum of a sequence of (strictly) positive integers. Two sequences that differ in the order of their terms define different compositions of their sum, while they are considered to define the same integer partition of that number.

  7. Chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chart

    A pie chart showing the composition of the 38th Parliament of Canada. A chart (sometimes known as a graph) is a graphical representation for data visualization, in which "the data is represented by symbols, such as bars in a bar chart, lines in a line chart, or slices in a pie chart". [1]

  8. Operation (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    In mathematics, an operation is a function from a set to itself. For example, an operation on real numbers will take in real numbers and return a real number. An operation can take zero or more input values (also called "operands" or "arguments") to a well-defined output value. The number of operands is the arity of the operation.

  9. Category of sets - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category_of_sets

    The arrows or morphisms between sets A and B are the functions from A to B, and the composition of morphisms is the composition of functions. Many other categories (such as the category of groups, with group homomorphisms as arrows) add structure to the objects of the category of sets or restrict the arrows to functions of a particular kind (or ...
