Ghost Leg, also known as "the ladder game" or "amaba," is a popular children's game and a method for randomly pairing items or determining outcomes. It is particularly common in Japan and some other Asian countries, but variations of the game exist in many cultures. The game typically involves a vertical grid of lines or "legs" that descend from the top to the bottom.
Incompatibilism is a philosophical view regarding the relationship between free will and determinism. It holds that free will and determinism cannot coexist; that is, if determinism is true (the idea that all events, including human actions, are determined by prior events in accordance with natural laws), then individuals do not have free will. Consequently, if people have free will, then determinism must be false.
In real analysis, theorems are statements or propositions that have been proven to be true based on previously established results, axioms, and logical reasoning. Real analysis is a branch of mathematics that deals with the properties of real numbers, sequences, series, functions, and limits, often focusing on concepts such as continuity, differentiability, integrability, and convergence.
"Willy-nilly" is an idiomatic expression that means "whether one wants to or not" or "in a haphazard or disorganized manner." It can imply doing something without having a choice in the matter or being forced to go along with something. It can also refer to a situation where actions are taken carelessly or without proper planning. For example, someone might say, "They had to move willy-nilly when they found out their lease was ending.
A Padé approximant is a type of rational function used to approximate a given function, typically a power series. It is defined as the ratio of two polynomials, \( P(x) \) and \( Q(x) \), where \( P(x) \) is of degree \( m \) and \( Q(x) \) is of degree \( n \).
A Baire function is a specific type of function that arises in the field of descriptive set theory, which is a branch of mathematical logic and analysis. Baire functions are defined on the real numbers (or other Polish spaces) and can be categorized based on their levels of complexity. ### Definition: Baire functions are defined using the idea of Baire classes.
In mathematical analysis, a **Baire-1 function** (or **Baire class 1 function**) is a special type of function that is defined in terms of its pointwise limits of continuous functions.
Hadamard's lemma is a result in the field of differential calculus that relates to the expansion of a function in terms of its derivatives. Specifically, it provides a formula for expressing the value of a function at a point in terms of its Taylor series expansion around another point.
An interleave sequence refers to a technique of merging or combining elements from multiple sequences in such a way that the elements from each sequence are alternated in the final output. This concept is often used in computer science, particularly in data processing, algorithms, and digital communication, where it can help in improving data throughput and error correction.
The Least Upper Bound (LUB) property, also known as the supremum property, is a fundamental concept in real analysis and is one of the defining characteristics of the real numbers. The LUB property states that for any non-empty set of real numbers that is bounded above, there exists a least upper bound (supremum) in the real numbers.
Real analysis is a branch of mathematical analysis that deals with the real numbers and real-valued sequences and functions. Below is a list of fundamental topics commonly covered in real analysis courses: 1. **Basics of Set Theory** - Sets, subsets, power sets - Operations on sets (union, intersection, difference) - Cartesian products 2. **Real Numbers** - Properties of real numbers - Completeness property - Rational and irrational numbers 3.
The Pompeiu derivative is a concept from the field of mathematical analysis, specifically in the study of functions and their differentiability. It is defined through the idea of a limit, similar to the conventional derivative but under different conditions. For a function \( f: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R} \), the Pompeiu derivative at a point \( a \) is defined using the average rate of change over smaller neighborhoods around \( a \).
Steffensen's inequality is a result in mathematics related to the approximation of integrals and the estimation of the error in numerical integration. It provides bounds on the difference between the integral of a function and its numerical approximation using a specific technique, often involving Riemann sums or similar methods. The inequality can be stated as follows: Let \( f \) be a function that is monotonic on the interval \([a, b]\).
In the context of mathematical analysis, a **regulated function** typically refers to a function that is defined on an interval (often the real numbers) that satisfies certain continuity-like properties. Specifically, the term is most commonly associated with functions that are piecewise continuous and have well-defined limits at their points of discontinuity. Regulated functions can be thought of as functions that are "well-behaved" despite having discontinuities. They can often be expressed as the limit of sequences (e.g.
Upper and lower bounds are fundamental concepts in mathematics, particularly in analysis and optimization, that describe the limits within which a particular set of values or an objective function lies. ### Upper Bound An **upper bound** of a set of values or a function is a value that is greater than or equal to every number in that set.
Real coordinate space, often referred to in the context of Euclidean spaces, is a mathematical construct that consists of points represented by coordinates using real numbers. The most common forms of real coordinate spaces are \(\mathbb{R}^n\), where \(n\) indicates the number of dimensions. 1. **Definition**: - A point in \( \mathbb{R}^n \) is represented by an ordered \(n\)-tuple of real numbers.
Real-time computing refers to computer systems or applications that process data and provide responses or outputs within a specified time frame, often in response to external events. The defining characteristic of real-time computing is its ability to deliver timely results, where the correctness of the computation depends not only on the logical result but also on the time at which the result is delivered. Here are some key concepts associated with real-time computing: 1. **Timing Constraints**: Real-time systems must operate under strict timing constraints.
Real-time kinematic (RTK) positioning is a satellite navigation technique used to enhance the precision of position data derived from Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), such as GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou. It is commonly employed in applications that require high accuracy, such as surveying, agriculture, construction, and autonomous vehicles.
U-Report is a social messaging tool designed to facilitate communication and engagement between communities and organizations, particularly in the context of social development and humanitarian efforts. It was initiated by UNICEF (the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund) to gather real-time data, opinions, and feedback from young people and communities.
Charles Adolphe Wurtz (1817–1884) was a French chemist renowned for his contributions to organic chemistry and for his work on the study of chemical compounds. He is particularly known for his research on the chemistry of heterocyclic compounds and for the development of various synthetic methods. Wurtz is also credited with the discovery of certain chemical reactions and the synthesis of organic compounds.

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!
We have two killer features:
  1. 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-calculus
    Articles 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.
