  2. Simplification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simplification

    Examples include: Simplification of algebraic expressions, in computer algebra; Simplification of boolean expressions i.e. logic optimization; Simplification by conjunction elimination in inference in logic yields a simpler, but generally non-equivalent formula; Simplification of fractions

  3. Science - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science

    Science is a systematic discipline that builds and organises knowledge in the form of testable hypotheses and predictions about the universe. [1] [2] Modern science is typically divided into two or three major branches: [3] the natural sciences (e.g., physics, chemistry, and biology), which study the physical world; and the social sciences (e.g., economics, psychology, and sociology), which ...

  4. Mathematical model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_model

    Variables may be of many types; real or integer numbers, Boolean values or strings, for example. The variables represent some properties of the system, for example, the measured system outputs often in the form of signals, timing data, counters, and event occurrence. The actual model is the set of functions that describe the relations between ...

  5. Simplex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simplex

    For example, a 0-dimensional simplex is a point, a 1-dimensional simplex is a line segment, a 2-dimensional simplex is a triangle, a 3-dimensional simplex is a tetrahedron, and; a 4-dimensional simplex is a 5-cell. Specifically, a k-simplex is a k-dimensional polytope that is the convex hull of its k + 1 vertices.

  6. Closed system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed_system

    In thermodynamics, a closed system is important for solving complicated thermodynamic problems. It allows the elimination of some external factors that could alter the results of the experiment or problem thus simplifying it. A closed system can also be used in situations where thermodynamic equilibrium is required to simplify the situation.

  7. Text simplification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Text_simplification

    Text simplification is an important area of research because of communication needs in an increasingly complex and interconnected world more dominated by science, technology, and new media. But natural human languages pose huge problems because they ordinarily contain large vocabularies and complex constructions that machines, no matter how ...

  8. Code refactoring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_refactoring

    Refactoring is usually motivated by noticing a code smell. [2] For example, the method at hand may be very long, or it may be a near duplicate of another nearby method. Once recognized, such problems can be addressed by refactoring the source code, or transforming it into a new form that behaves the same as before but that no longer "smells".

  9. Simplicity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simplicity

    Simplicity is the state or quality of being simple.Something easy to understand or explain seems simple, in contrast to something complicated. Alternatively, as Herbert A. Simon suggests, something is simple or complex depending on the way we choose to describe it. [1]
