A number x is said to have "n figures" if it takes n digits to express it. The number of figures is therefore equal to one more than the power of 10 in the scientific ...

A ring equipped with a filtration.

A filtration of ideals of a commutative unit ring R is a sequence of ideals ... subset= I_2 subset= I_1 subset= I_0=R, such that I_iI_j subset= I_(i+j) for all indices i,j. ...

A set which contains a nonnegative integral number of elements is said to be finite. A set which is not finite is said to be infinite. A finite or countably infinite set is ...

A set function mu is finitely additive if, given any finite disjoint collection of sets {E_k}_(k=1)^n on which mu is defined, mu( union _(k=1)^nE_k)=sum_(k=1)^nmu(E_k).

A game in which each player has a finite number of moves and a finite number of choices at each move.

The branch of mathematics which does not involve infinite sets, limits, or continuity.

An entire function f is said to be of finite order if there exist numbers a,r>0 such that |f(z)|<=exp(|z|^a) for all |z|>r. The infimum of all numbers a for which this ...

A group G is said to be finitely generated if there exists a finite set of group generators for G.

A continuous real function L(x,y) defined on the tangent bundle T(M) of an n-dimensional smooth manifold M is said to be a Finsler metric if 1. L(x,y) is differentiable at ...
