  2. Mathematical object - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_object

    A mathematical object is an abstract concept arising in mathematics. [1] Typically, a mathematical object can be a value that can be assigned to a symbol, and therefore can be involved in formulas. Commonly encountered mathematical objects include numbers, expressions, shapes, functions, and sets.

  3. Characterization (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    In mathematics, a characterization of an object is a set of conditions that, while possibly different from the definition of the object, is logically equivalent to it. [1] To say that "Property P characterizes object X" is to say that not only does X have property P, but that X is the only thing that has property P (i.e., P is a defining ...

  4. Scientific calculator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_calculator

    A scientific calculator is an electronic calculator, either desktop or handheld, designed to perform calculations using basic (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) and advanced (trigonometric, hyperbolic, etc.) mathematical operations and functions.

    1. A canonical map is a map or morphism between objects that arises naturally from the definition or the construction of the objects being mapped against each other. 2. A canonical form of an object is some standard or universal way to express the object. correspondence

  6. Catenary - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catenary

    A chain hanging from points forms a catenary. The silk on a spider's web forming multiple elastic catenaries.. In physics and geometry, a catenary (US: / ˈ k æ t ən ɛr i / KAT-ən-err-ee, UK: / k ə ˈ t iː n ər i / kə-TEE-nər-ee) is the curve that an idealized hanging chain or cable assumes under its own weight when supported only at its ends in a uniform gravitational field.

  7. Currying - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Currying

    This is a somewhat informal example; more precise definitions of what is meant by "object" and "function" are given below. These definitions vary from context to context, and take different forms, depending on the theory that one is working in. Currying is related to, but not the same as, partial application.

  8. Calculator input methods - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculator_input_methods

    The TI-108 is a simple four-function calculator which uses single-step execution.. The immediate execution mode of operation (also known as single-step, algebraic entry system (AES) [7] or chain calculation mode) is commonly employed on most general-purpose calculators.

  9. Chaining (vector processing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaining_(vector_processing)

    In computing, chaining is a technique used in computer architecture in which scalar and vector registers generate interim results which can be used immediately, without additional memory references which reduce computational speed. [1] The chaining technique was first used by Seymour Cray in the 80 MHz Cray 1 supercomputer in 1976. [2]
