A function which is not an algebraic function. In other words, a function which "transcends," i.e., cannot be expressed in terms of, algebra. Examples of transcendental ...

A triacontahedron is a 30-faced polyhedron. Examples include the 14-gonal antiprism, biaugmented truncated cube (Johnson solid J_(67)), 15-gonal dipyramid, 28-gonal prism, ...

The trimean is defined to be TM=1/4(H_1+2M+H_2), where H_i are the hinges and M is the statistical median. Press et al. (1992) call this Tukey's trimean. It is an L-estimate.

An error in a statistical test which occurs when a false hypothesis is accepted (a false positive in terms of the null hypothesis).

Not decidable as a result of being neither formally provable nor unprovable.

A one-sided (singly infinite) Laplace transform, L_t[f(t)](s)=int_0^inftyf(t)e^(-st)dt. This is the most common variety of Laplace transform and it what is usually meant by ...

Involving one variable, as opposed to two (bivariate) or many (multivariate).

The depth of a vertex v in a rooted tree as the number of edges from v to the root vertex. A function to return the depth of a vertex v in a tree g may be implemented in a ...

A closed subspace of a Banach space X is called weakly complemented if the dual i^* of the natural embedding i:M↪X has a right inverse as a bounded operator. For example, the ...

A function, continuous in a finite closed interval, can be approximated with a preassigned accuracy by polynomials. A function of a real variable which is continuous and has ...
