51Kant’s Copernican revolution — Daniel Bonevac Immanuel Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason was to transform the philosophical world, at once bringing the Enlightenment to its highest intellectual development and establishing a new set of problems that would dominate philosophy in… …
52Michael Atiyah — Sir Michael Atiyah Born 22 April 1929 (1929 04 22) (age 82) …
53Long line (topology) — In topology, the long line (or Alexandroff line) is a topological space analogous to the real line, but much longer. Because it behaves locally just like the real line, but has different large scale properties, it serves as one of the basic… …
54Frame fields in general relativity — In general relativity, a frame field (also called a tetrad or vierbein) is a set of four orthonormal vector fields, one timelike and three spacelike, defined on a Lorentzian manifold that is physically interpreted as a model of spacetime. The… …
55Surgery theory — In mathematics, specifically in geometric topology, surgery theory is a collection of techniques used to produce one manifold from another in a controlled way, introduced by Milnor (1961). Surgery refers to cutting out parts of the manifold… …
56Supercharger — A supercharger is an air compressor used for forced induction of an internal combustion engine. The greater mass flow rate provides more oxygen to support combustion than would be available in a naturally aspirated engine, which allows more fuel… …
57Hegel’s logic and philosophy of mind — Willem deVries LOGIC AND MIND IN HEGEL’S PHILOSOPHY Hegel is above all a systematic philosopher. Awe inspiring in its scope, his philosophy left no subject untouched. Logic provides the central, unifying framework as well as the general… …
58Ricci flow — In differential geometry, the Ricci flow is an intrinsic geometric flow a process which deforms the metric of a Riemannian manifold in this case in a manner formally analogous to the diffusion of heat, thereby smoothing out irregularities in the… …
59Information geometry — In mathematics and especially in statistical inference, information geometry is the study of probability and information by way of differential geometry. It reached maturity through the work of Shun ichi Amari in the 1980s, with what is currently …
60Categories of manifolds — In mathematics, specifically geometry and topology, there are many different notions of manifold, with more or less structure, and corresponding notions of map between manifolds , each of which yields a different category and its own… …
