81Third-order intercept point — In telecommunications, a third order intercept point (IP3 or TOI) is a measure for weakly nonlinear systems and devices, for example receivers, linear amplifiers and mixers. It is based on the idea that the device nonlinearity can be modeled… …
82History of algebra — Elementary algebra is the branch of mathematics that deals with solving for the operands of arithmetic equations. Modern or abstract algebra has its origins as an abstraction of elementary algebra. Historians know that the earliest mathematical… …
83Recurrence relation — Difference equation redirects here. It is not to be confused with differential equation. In mathematics, a recurrence relation is an equation that recursively defines a sequence, once one or more initial terms are given: each further term of the… …
84Specular highlight — Specular highlights on a pair of spheres. A specular highlight is the bright spot of light that appears on shiny objects when illuminated (for example, see image at right). Specular highlights are important in 3D computer graphics, as they… …
85FOIL rule — The FOIL rule, also sometimes known as the double distributive property or more colloquially as foiling , is commonly taught to U.S. high school students learning algebra, as a mnemonic for remembering how to multiply two binomials (polynomials… …
