When learning math terminology, the sheer number of terms can seem overwhelming. It can therefore help to start with a short list of mathematical terms that are important to understand: The absolute value of a number is its distance from 0. For example, -2 and 2 are both 2 units away fr...
Mathematical programmingrefers to mathematical models used to solve problems such as decision problems. The terms are meant to contrast with computer programming which solves such problems by implementing algorithms which may be designed specifically for a given problem. By mathematical programming, we con...
Despite the variety of possible foundations for mathematics, in practice real mathematicians do not express their work in terms of a foundation. It seems that most modern mathematicians tend to think in terms that are compatible with ZFC (which is ZF extended with the Axiom of Choice), but in...
of text, often formatted with a single font. In this situation, actions such as contextual substitution or kerning can be done with access to the complete context of the line of text, and the rules can be expressed in terms of known glyph sequences. Math layout is quite different from ...
Math formula layout rules are quite different from text substitution and positioning rules expressed in tables like GSUB and GPOS. Regular glyph runs have full context font layout tables can operate on, so actions like contextual substitution or kerning can be expressed in terms of known glyph sequ...
In simple terms, these indicate a base Unicode character and a list of variants for that character and/or ways to assemble the character from multiple glyphs. The variant list is accessed by the math handler when determining the best glyph to use in a given situation. For instance, as a ...
Regular glyph runs have full context font layout tables can operate on, so actions like contextual substitution or kerning can be expressed in terms of known glyph sequences. For math formula, virtually any component can be a complex formula as well. ...
terms of myocardial perfusion, since driven by electromechanics. Conversely, the CFD of the left heart fully coupled with the Darcy model of the biventricular geometry is a novel aspect of this study, making all the reported biomarkers unique contributions of this paper. Consistently with clinical...
It seems that most modern mathematicians tend to think in terms that are compatible with ZFC (which is ZF extended with the Axiom of Choice), but in practice they almost never write the full formal details. And it is quite rare for mathematicians to do their thinking while regarding a type...
A book that goes to the roots of mathematical words is The Words of Mathematics: An Etymological Dictionary of Mathematical Terms Used in English, by Steven Schwartzman, published by The Mathematical Association of America, 1996. The following books offer suggestions on writing mathematical material:...
