61Malmquist bias — For other uses of Malmquist, see Malmquist (disambiguation). The Malmquist bias refers to an effect in observational astronomy which leads to the preferential detection of intrinsically bright objects. It was first popularized in 1922 by Swedish… …
62Dimensional analysis — In physics and all science, dimensional analysis is a tool to find or check relations among physical quantities by using their dimensions. The dimension of a physical quantity is the combination of the basic physical dimensions (usually mass,… …

64Polylogarithm — Not to be confused with polylogarithmic. In mathematics, the polylogarithm (also known as Jonquière s function) is a special function Lis(z) that is defined by the infinite sum, or power series: It is in general not an elementary function, unlike …
65exponential function — Math. 1. the function y = ex. 2. any function of the form y = bax, where a and b are positive constants. 3. any function in which a variable appears as an exponent and may also appear as a base, as y = x2x. [1890 95] * * * In mathematics, a… …
66Conformal pictures — Here are examples of conformal maps understood as deforming pictures. This technique is a generalization of domain coloring where the domain space is not colored by a fixed infinite color wheel but by a finite picture tiling the plane. A… …
67Antiderivative — In calculus, an antiderivative, primitive or indefinite integral [Antiderivatives are also called general integrals, and sometimes integrals. The latter term is generic, and refers not only to indefinite integrals (antiderivatives), but also to… …
68Floating point — In computing, floating point describes a method of representing real numbers in a way that can support a wide range of values. Numbers are, in general, represented approximately to a fixed number of significant digits and scaled using an exponent …
69Integral — This article is about the concept of integrals in calculus. For the set of numbers, see integer. For other uses, see Integral (disambiguation). A definite integral of a function can be represented as the signed area of the region bounded by its… …
70Group (mathematics) — This article covers basic notions. For advanced topics, see Group theory. The possible manipulations of this Rubik s Cube form a group. In mathematics, a group is an algebraic structure consisting of a set together with an operation that combines …
