A strong inequality in which a is not only less than b, but much less (by some convention) is denoted a<<b.

A basis, form, function, etc., in two or more variables is said to be multilinear if it is linear in each variable separately.

If one event can occur in m ways and a second can occur independently of the first in n ways, then the two events can occur in mn ways.

n events are said to be mutually exclusive if the occurrence of any one of them precludes any of the others. Therefore, for events X_1, ..., X_n, the conditional probability ...

One of the two pieces of a double cone (i.e., two cones placed apex to apex).

mu_i(epsilon), sometimes denoted P_i(epsilon), is the probability that element i is populated, normalized such that sum_(i=1)^Nmu_i(epsilon)=1.

The simplicial complex formed from a family of objects by taking sets that have nonempty intersections.

Approximates the possible values of y in terms of x if sum_(i,j=0)^na_(ij)x^iy^j=0.

An element B of a ring is nilpotent if there exists a positive integer k for which B^k=0.
