The pooled CC count is , the case total is 1939, and the grand total is 3874. Under the null, the common estimated CC proportion is . Multiplication by the fixed case total givesThis is the fitted expected count, rather than a separate observation.

For observed counts in an by contingency table, Pearson's chi-squared test statistic for independence isUnder the null model and the usual large-expected-count conditions, its reference distribution is with degrees of freedom.

For , phase velocity is the speed of a fixed phase, . The group velocity transports a narrow-band wave envelope. With ,As with fixed, . ThereforeBoth velocities tend to the shallow-water speed at leading order.

Take the undisturbed surface to be and treat , , and their induced velocities as first order in wave amplitude. Products of first-order quantities are second order and are discarded. Evaluating surface conditions at differs from evaluation at zero only by second-order terms. Thus the linearized surface gravity wave problem isHere , . The linear free-surface conditions can also be combined into at zero.

Condition (1b) is the kinematic boundary condition: surface particles remain on the moving free-surface graph. Condition (1c) is the dynamic boundary condition for an inviscid interface from unsteady Bernoulli's equation, with the surface pressure fixed at the atmospheric value and absorbed into the potential's time gauge. Condition (1d) is impermeability of the fixed horizontal bed, so its normal velocity vanishes.

Direct differentiation gives the convective accelerationThe steady Euler equations therefore require and . Integrating both derivatives consistently givesThe additive constant is arbitrary. With a corresponding redefinition of this constant, the Bernoulli function is , making its constancy along streamlines explicit.

For steady inviscid flow of constant density without a body-force potential, Bernoulli's theorem givesThe constant can differ between streamlines, because this flow has nonzero vorticity. Dotting the steady Euler equation with gives , which proves precisely the along-streamline form.

The unit circle is path-connected, since it is the continuous image of the interval under . It is therefore connected, and part (ii) makes connected. A connected subset of is an interval: omission of a point lying between two of its points would separate it by the two open rays about that point.
Moreover, the circle is compact, so the continuous image of a compact space is compact. Hence here the image is a closed bounded interval, possibly a singleton.

If had a separation into two nonempty relatively open disjoint pieces, their inverse images under the restriction would be two nonempty relatively open disjoint subsets covering . This would contradict connectedness of . Thus a continuous image of a connected set is connected.

A connected set is one whose relative topology admits no decomposition into two disjoint nonempty open sets. A path-connected set permits, between any two points, a continuous map with the prescribed endpoints.
Path connectedness implies connectedness, because a continuous image of an interval is connected. The converse can fail, for example for the topologist's sine curve. On open subsets of Euclidean spaces , the two properties are equivalent; more generally this holds in locally path-connected spaces.

Pinned article: Introduction to the OurBigBook Project
Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.
Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!
Intro to OurBigBook
. Source. We have two killer features:
- topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculusArticles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
- a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
- a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.Figure 1. Screenshot of the "Derivative" topic page.

Source. - local editing: you can store all your personal knowledge base content locally in a plaintext markup format that can be edited locally and published either:This way you can be sure that even if OurBigBook.com were to go down one day (which we have no plans to do as it is quite cheap to host!), your content will still be perfectly readable as a static site.
