The property of being continuous.

A correction to a discrete binomial distribution to approximate a continuous distribution. P(a<=X<=b) approx P((a-1/2-np)/(sqrt(np(1-p)))<=z<=(b+1/2-np)/(sqrt(np(1-p)))), ...

While the above figure appears to be a sequence of nested squares, it actually consists of a single square spiral.

A continuous vector bundle is a vector bundle pi:E->M with only the structure of a topological manifold. The map pi is continuous. It has no smooth structure or bundle metric.

The space of continuously differentiable functions is denoted C^1, and corresponds to the k=1 case of a C-k function.

A curve in two dimensions on which the value of a function f(x,y) is a constant. Other synonymous terms are equipotential curve, isarithm, and isopleth. A plot of several ...

Contracting tensors lambda with nu in the Bianchi identities R_(lambdamunukappa;eta)+R_(lambdamuetanu;kappa)+R_(lambdamukappaeta;nu)=0 (1) gives ...

A sentence is called a contradiction if its truth table contains only false entries.

The usual type of vector, which can be viewed as a contravariant tensor ("ket") of tensor rank 1. Contravariant vectors are dual to one-forms ("bras," a.k.a. covariant ...

The acceleration of an element of fluid, given by the convective derivative of the velocity v, (Dv)/(Dt)=(partialv)/(partialt)+v·del v, where del is the gradient operator.
