Given a subset B of a set A, the injection f:B->A defined by f(b)=b for all b in B is called the inclusion map.

A disjunction that remains true if either or both of its arguments are true. This is equivalent to the OR connective. By contrast, the exclusive disjunction is true if only ...

Two lengths are called incommensurate or incommensurable if their ratio cannot be expressed as a ratio of whole numbers. Irrational numbers and transcendental numbers are ...

Two rectangles, neither of which will fit inside the other, are said to be incomparable. This is equivalent to one rectangle being both longer and narrower. At least seven ...

A formal theory is said to be incomplete if it contains fewer theorems than would be possible while still retaining consistency.

A continuum that is not decomposable is an indecomposable continuum.

The indefinite summation operator Delta^(-1) for discrete variables, is the equivalent of integration for continuous variables. If DeltaY(x)=y(x), then Delta^(-1)y(x)=Y(x).

If sets E and F are independent, then so are E and F^', where F^' is the complement of F (i.e., the set of all possible outcomes not contained in F). Let union denote "or" ...

The ratio of the independence number of a graph G to its vertex count is known as the independence ratio of G (Bollobás 1981). The product of the chromatic number and ...

Two events A and B are called independent if their probabilities satisfy P(AB)=P(A)P(B) (Papoulis 1984, p. 40).
