1000 bytes. Unfortunately, the term is sometimes also used to mean 2^(10)=1024 bytes. However, this usage is deprecated, and the term kibibyte is preferred for 1024 bytes.

A level set in three dimensions.

2^(20)=1024^2=1048576 bytes. Although the term megabyte is almost universally used to refer to 1024^2 bytes, such usage is deprecated in favor of the standard SI naming ...

One million (10^6) bytes. Unfortunately, the term is sometimes also used to mean 2^(20)=1024^2=1048576 bytes. Furthermore, a third meaning of the term refers to 1024000 bytes ...

A set-like object in which order is ignored, but multiplicity is explicitly significant. Therefore, multisets {1,2,3} and {2,1,3} are equivalent, but {1,1,2,3} and {1,2,3} ...

The unit of information obtained by using the natural logarithm lnx instead of the base-2 logarithm log_2x=lgx when defining entropy and related information theoretic ...

Four bits or half a byte, also sometimes spelled "nybble." Since a nibble encodes values from 0 to 2^4-1=15, it can conveniently be represented using a single hexadecimal ...

The number of nondecreasing lists {a_1,a_2,...,a_n} consisting of n elements 1<=a_i<=k is given by the binomial coefficient N(n,k)=(n+k-1; n-1). For example, there are six ...

A pair of quantities (a, b) where ordering is significant, so (a, b) is considered distinct from (b, a) for a!=b.

The y- (vertical) coordinate of a point in a two dimensional coordinate system. Physicists and astronomers sometimes use the term to refer to the axis itself instead of the ...
