The upper horizontal line segment in the above figure appears to be longer than the lower line segment despite the fact that both are the same length.

In computer science, a pop is an action which removes the initial element from the top of a queue or stack, turning the list (a_1, a_2, ..., a_n) into (a_2, ..., a_n) and ...

The word population has a number of distinct but closely related meanings in statistics. 1. A finite and actually existing group of objects which, although possibly large, ...

Let X_1 and X_2 be the number of successes in variates taken from two populations. Define p^^_1 = (x_1)/(n_1) (1) p^^_2 = (x_2)/(n_2). (2) The estimator of the difference is ...

The differential equation describing exponential growth is (dN)/(dt)=rN. (1) This can be integrated directly int_(N_0)^N(dN)/N=int_0^trdt (2) to give ln(N/(N_0))=rt, (3) ...

The mean of a distribution with probability density function P(x) is the first raw moment mu_1^', defined by mu=<x>, (1) where <f> is the expectation value. For a continuous ...

The theorem in set theory and logic that for all sets A and B, B=(A intersection B^_) union (B intersection A^_)<=>A=emptyset, (1) where A^_ denotes complement set of A and ...

The term "porism" is an archaic type of mathematical proposition whose historical purpose is not entirely known. It is used instead of "theorem" by some authors for a small ...

Two triangles are said to be poristic triangles if they share the same incircle and circumcircle. More specifically, in the plane of a reference triangle, a triangle is said ...

The partial differential equation u_t=del ·(u^mdel u).
