61Cryonics — For the study of the production of very low temperatures, see Cryogenics. Technicians prepare a patient for cryopreservation. Cryonics (from Greek kryos meaning icy cold) is the low temperature preservation of humans and animals who can no longer …
62Order theory — For a topical guide to this subject, see Outline of order theory. Order theory is a branch of mathematics which investigates our intuitive notion of order using binary relations. It provides a formal framework for describing statements such as… …
63Measure-preserving dynamical system — In mathematics, a measure preserving dynamical system is an object of study in the abstract formulation of dynamical systems, and ergodic theory in particular. Contents 1 Definition 2 Examples 3 Homomorphisms 4 …
64Clique (graph theory) — A graph with 23 1 vertex cliques (its vertices), 42 2 vertex cliques (its edges), 19 3 vertex cliques (the light blue triangles), and 2 4 vertex cliques (dark blue). Six of the edges and 11 of the triangles form maximal cliques. The two dark blue …
65Duality (mathematics) — In mathematics, a duality, generally speaking, translates concepts, theorems or mathematical structures into other concepts, theorems or structures, in a one to one fashion, often (but not always) by means of an involution operation: if the dual… …
66Semilattice — In mathematics, a join semilattice (or upper semilattice) is a partially ordered set which has a join (a least upper bound) for any nonempty finite subset. Dually, a meet semilattice (or lower semilattice) is a partially ordered set which has a… …
67Christopher Michael Langan — (born c. 1957) is an American autodidact whose IQ was reported by 20/20 and other media sources to have been measured at around 195. [For the figure of 195, see Sager 1999, McFadden 1999, Fowler 2000, Wigmore 2000, O Connell 2001, Brabham 2001,… …
68Intersection theory (mathematics) — In mathematics, intersection theory is a branch of algebraic geometry, where subvarieties are intersected on an algebraic variety, and of algebraic topology, where intersections are computed within the cohomology ring. The theory for varieties is …
69Category utility — is a measure of category goodness defined in Harvtxt|Gluck|Corter|1985 and Harvtxt|Corter|Gluck|1992. It was intended to supersede more limited measures of category goodness such as cue validity (Harvnb|Reed|1972;Harvnb|Rosch|Mervis|1975) and… …
70Field of definition — In mathematics, the field of definition of an algebraic variety V is essentially the smallest field to which the coefficients of the polynomials defining V can belong. Given polynomials, with coefficients in a field K , it may not be obvious… …
