Gammoid 1970-01-01
A gammoid is a specific type of mathematical structure used in graph theory and combinatorial optimization. More formally, a gammoid is a type of directed graph that can be represented in terms of a certain set of vertices and directed edges, whereby subsets of vertices correspond to particular properties regarding the acyclic nature of the graph and the connectivity of its components. Gammoids can be interpreted through the lens of matroid theory, where they relate to the notion of strong connectivity and directed paths.
List of things named after Max Born 1970-01-01
Max Born was a prominent physicist and mathematician who made significant contributions to quantum mechanics and theoretical physics. Various concepts, theorems, and entities in science and mathematics have been named in his honor. Here is a list of notable things named after Max Born: 1. **Born Rule**: A fundamental principle in quantum mechanics that gives the probability of obtaining a particular measurement outcome.
The End of the Certain World 1970-01-01
Walter Marshall, Baron Marshall of Goring 1970-01-01
Ampère's circuital law 1970-01-01
Ampère's circuital law is a fundamental principle in electromagnetism that relates the circulation of the magnetic field around a closed loop to the electric current passing through that loop.
Gauss's law 1970-01-01
Gauss's law is a fundamental principle in electrostatics, part of Maxwell's equations, that relates the electric field generated by a charge distribution to the charge enclosed within a closed surface.
Lorentz force 1970-01-01
The Lorentz force is the force exerted on a charged particle moving through an electromagnetic field. It is named after the Dutch physicist Hendrik Lorentz.

American Enlightenment 1970-01-01
The American Enlightenment refers to a period during the late 17th to the late 18th centuries that emphasized reason, science, and individualism among American colonies and their emerging independent identity. It was influenced heavily by the European Enlightenment, characterized by a shift away from traditional authorities, such as the church and monarchy, toward an emphasis on human reason, scientific inquiry, and the potential for social progress.
Enlightenment philosophy 1970-01-01
Enlightenment philosophy, also known simply as Enlightenment or the Age of Reason, refers to a movement in Western philosophy that emerged in the late 17th century and flourished during the 18th century. This period was characterized by a shift in thought that emphasized reason, individualism, and skepticism of traditional authority, particularly in the realms of religion and government.
People of the Age of Enlightenment 1970-01-01
The Age of Enlightenment, also known as the Age of Reason, was an intellectual and philosophical movement that emerged in Europe during the late 17th and 18th centuries. It emphasized reason, science, and individualism over tradition and religious authority. Prominent figures of the Enlightenment sought to challenge existing social, political, and religious norms, advocating for principles such as liberty, progress, tolerance, and the scientific method.
Centered decagonal number 1970-01-01
Transformational theory 1970-01-01
On the Number of Primes Less Than a Given Magnitude 1970-01-01
MathPath 1970-01-01
MathPath is an educational program designed for middle school students who have a strong interest in mathematics and a desire to explore advanced topics beyond the standard curriculum. Typically, MathPath offers a summer camp experience that focuses on problem-solving, mathematical thinking, and exploration of mathematical concepts in a fun and engaging way. The program usually includes activities such as mathematical games, competitions, and collaborative projects that encourage creativity and critical thinking.
Base-orderable matroid 1970-01-01
A **base-orderable matroid** is a type of matroid that has a specific structure related to its bases, which are maximal independent sets. The concept of base-orderable matroids is an extension of the idea of ordered sets and allows us to impose an order on the bases of a matroid in a way that respects the matroid's properties.
Ingleton's inequality 1970-01-01
Ingleton's inequality is a result in combinatorial topology and information theory that applies to sets of random variables. It specifically deals with the information content and conditions for independence among random variables.
Matroid embedding 1970-01-01
Matroid embedding is a concept from matroid theory, a branch of combinatorial optimization and algebraic structures. It involves representing or mapping one matroid (let's call it \( M \)) into another matroid (let's call it \( N \)) in a way that preserves certain properties of the matroid structure.
Matroid girth 1970-01-01
Matroid girth is a concept in the field of matroid theory, which is a branch of combinatorics and discrete mathematics. In simple terms, the girth of a matroid refers to the length of the shortest circuit (or non-empty minimal dependent set) in the matroid. To provide some context: - A **matroid** is an abstract mathematical structure that generalizes the notion of linear independence in vector spaces.
