The x- (horizontal) 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 ...

Let u^_ denote the mean of a set of quantities u_i, then the absolute deviation is defined by Deltau_i=|u_i-u^_|.

The difference between the measured or inferred value of a quantity x_0 and its actual value x, given by Deltax=x_0-x (sometimes with the absolute value taken) is called the ...

The number of data points which fall within a given class in a frequency distribution.

Geometry which depends only on the first four of Euclid's postulates and not on the parallel postulate. Euclid himself used only the first four postulates for the first 28 ...

The absolute moment of M_n of a probability function P(x) taken about a point a is defined by M_n=int|x-a|^nP(x)dx.

A sequence of random variates X_0, X_1, ... is called absolutely fair if for n=1, 2, ..., <X_1>=0 and <X_(n+1)|X_1,...,X_n>=0 (Feller 1971, p. 210).

An abstract manifold is a manifold in the context of an abstract space with no particular embedding, or representation in mind. It is a topological space with an atlas of ...

"Abstract nonsense" is a nonderogatory term that is commonly used by mathematicians when skipping over parts of an argument that can be proven through a commonly used long ...

An abstract simplicial complex is a collection S of finite nonempty sets such that if A is an element of S, then so is every nonempty subset of A (Munkres 1993, p. 15).
