41Theory of conjoint measurement — The theory of conjoint measurement (also known as conjoint measurement or additive conjoint measurement) is a general, formal theory of continuous quantity. It was independently discovered by the French economist Gerard Debreu (1960) and by the… …
42Linear alternator — A linear alternator is essentially a linear motor used as an electrical generator. (An alternator is a type of alternating current (AC) electrical generator.) The devices are often physically equivalent. The principal difference is in how they… …
43Theory of cognitive development — The Theory of Cognitive Development (one of the most historically influential theories) was developed by Jean Piaget, a Swiss Philosopher (1896–1980). His genetic epistemological theory provided many central concepts in the field of developmental …

45Linear forms in logarithms — In number theory the method of linear forms in logarithms is the application of estimatesfor the magnitude of a finite sum: Sigma; beta; i log α i = Lambda;where the α i and beta; i are algebraic numbers. In case of α i a complex number, one has… …
46Linear flow on the torus — In mathematics, esecially in the area of mathematical analysis known as dynamical systems theory, a linear flow on the torus is a flow on the n dimensional torus:mathbb{T}^n = underbrace{S^1 imes S^1 imes cdots imes S^1} nwhich is represented by… …
47Linear congruential generator — A linear congruential generator (LCG) represent one of the oldest and best known pseudorandom number generator algorithms. [ [http://demonstrations.wolfram.com/LinearCongruentialGenerators/ Linear Congruential Generators] by Joe Bolte, The… …
48Linear time — In computational complexity theory, an algorithm is said to take linear time, or O( n ) time, if the asymptotic upper bound for the time it requires is proportional to the size of the input, which is usually denoted n . Informally spoken, the… …
49linear algebra — Math. See under algebra (def. 2). [1890 95] * * * Branch of algebra concerned with methods of solving systems of linear equations; more generally, the mathematics of linear transformations and vector spaces. Linear refers to the form of the… …
50Linear encoder — A linear encoder is a sensor, transducer or readhead paired with a scale that encodes position. The sensor reads the scale in order to convert the encoded position into an analog or digital signal, which can then be decoded into position by a… …
