important characteristic
1Characteristic polynomial — This article is about the characteristic polynomial of a matrix. For the characteristic polynomial of a matroid, see Matroid. For that of a graded poset, see Graded poset. In linear algebra, one associates a polynomial to every square matrix: its …
2Characteristic function (probability theory) — The characteristic function of a uniform U(–1,1) random variable. This function is real valued because it corresponds to a random variable that is symmetric around the origin; however in general case characteristic functions may be complex valued …
3Characteristic class — In mathematics, a characteristic class is a way of associating to each principal bundle on a topological space X a cohomology class of X. The cohomology class measures the extent to which the bundle is twisted particularly, whether it possesses… …
4Characteristic set — The mathematical concept of a characteristic set was discovered in the late forties by J.F. Ritt. Besides Gröbner basis method, it provides an alternative algorithmic way for solving multivariate polynomial equations or differential equations.In… …
5characteristic — {{Roman}}I.{{/Roman}} noun ADJECTIVE ▪ defining, distinctive, distinguishing, identifying, individual, special, striking, unique ▪ Mobility is the defining characteris …
6Characteristic earthquakes — Almost all geology is fractal and scale invariant. That means you should always put in a scale when taking pictures of rock formations. For example, in this picture, you can’t tell if it is 6 m or 6 km across. It’s actually an ASTER satellite… …
7important — adj. VERBS ▪ be, seem, sound ▪ Someone left a message for you it sounded important. ▪ become ▪ remain ▪ …
8Characteristic earthquake — A characteristic earthquake is a repeating, large earthquake that occurs more frequently than local seismic monitoring would suggest.[1] Characteristic earthquakes are usually defined from paleoseismology observations. This has important… …
9Characteristic length — A characteristic length is an important dimension that defines the scale of a physical system. Often such a length is used as an input to a formula in order to predict some characteristics of the system. Examples: Reynolds number Biot number… …
10Euler characteristic — In mathematics, and more specifically in algebraic topology and polyhedral combinatorics, the Euler characteristic is a topological invariant, a number that describes one aspect of a topological space s shape or structure. It is commonly denoted… …
