geometric constant
61Dynamic array — Several values are inserted at the end of a dynamic array using geometric expansion. Grey cells indicate space reserved for expansion. Most insertions are fast (constant time), while some are slow due to the need for reallocation (Θ(n) time,… …
62Proposed solutions to Zeno's paradoxes — Proposed resolutions to Zeno s paradoxes can be divided into two classes: solutions that question the reasoning in Zeno s argument, and solutions that question the assumptions in Zeno s argument. Many mathematicians and engineers believe that… …
63differential geometry — Math. the branch of mathematics that deals with the application of the principles of differential and integral calculus to the study of curves and surfaces. * * * Field of mathematics in which methods of calculus are applied to the local geometry …

65Logic and the philosophy of mathematics in the nineteenth century — John Stillwell INTRODUCTION In its history of over two thousand years, mathematics has seldom been disturbed by philosophical disputes. Ever since Plato, who is said to have put the slogan ‘Let no one who is not a geometer enter here’ over the… …
66Chirp — For other uses, see Chirp (disambiguation). A chirp is a signal in which the frequency increases ( up chirp ) or decreases ( down chirp ) with time. In some sources, the term chirp is used interchangeably with sweep signal.[1] It is commonly used …
67architecture — /ahr ki tek cheuhr/, n. 1. the profession of designing buildings, open areas, communities, and other artificial constructions and environments, usually with some regard to aesthetic effect. Architecture often includes design or selection of… …
68Riemann surface — For the Riemann surface of a subring of a field, see Zariski–Riemann space. Riemann surface for the function ƒ(z) = √z. The two horizontal axes represent the real and imaginary parts of z, while the vertical axis represents the real… …
69Proper acceleration — [Edwin F. Taylor John Archibald Wheeler (1966 1st ed. only) Spacetime Physics (W.H. Freeman, San Francisco) ISBN 0 7167 0336 X] is the physical acceleration experienced by an object. It equals the rate of change of proper velocity with respect to …
70Dirac delta function — Schematic representation of the Dirac delta function by a line surmounted by an arrow. The height of the arrow is usually used to specify the value of any multiplicative constant, which will give the area under the function. The other convention… …
