  2. Glossary of mathematical symbols - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_mathematical...

    A mathematical symbol is a figure or a combination of figures that is used to represent a mathematical object, an action on mathematical objects, a relation between mathematical objects, or for structuring the other symbols that occur in a formula. As formulas are entirely constituted with symbols of various types, many symbols are needed for ...

  3. Fourier series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourier_series

    A Fourier series ( / ˈfʊrieɪ, - iər / [1]) is an expansion of a periodic function into a sum of trigonometric functions. The Fourier series is an example of a trigonometric series, but not all trigonometric series are Fourier series. [2] By expressing a function as a sum of sines and cosines, many problems involving the function become ...

The Graphics Interchange Format ( GIF; / ɡɪf / GHIF or / dʒɪf / JIF, see § Pronunciation) is a bitmap image format that was developed by a team at the online services provider CompuServe led by American computer scientist Steve Wilhite and released on June 15, 1987.

  5. Convolution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convolution

    Eq.1) The notation f ∗ N g {\displaystyle f*_{N}g} for cyclic convolution denotes convolution over the cyclic group of integers modulo N . Circular convolution arises most often in the context of fast convolution with a fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithm. Fast convolution algorithms In many situations, discrete convolutions can be converted to circular convolutions so that fast ...

  6. Proportional–integral–derivative controller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proportional–integral...

    Fundamental operation A block diagram of a PID controller in a feedback loop. r(t) is the desired process variable (PV) or setpoint (SP), and y(t) is the measured PV.. The distinguishing feature of the PID controller is the ability to use the three control terms of proportional, integral and derivative influence on the controller output to apply accurate and optimal control.

  7. Mathematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematics

    Mathematics is an area of knowledge that includes the topics of numbers, formulas and related structures, shapes and the spaces in which they are contained, and quantities and their changes. These topics are represented in modern mathematics with the major subdisciplines of number theory, [1] algebra, [2] geometry, [1] and analysis, [3 ...

  8. Pascal's triangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal's_triangle

    A diagram showing the first eight rows of Pascal's triangle. In mathematics, Pascal's triangle is a triangular array of the binomial coefficients which play a crucial role in probability theory, combinatorics, and algebra. In much of the Western world, it is named after the French mathematician Blaise Pascal, although other mathematicians ...

  9. Pronunciation of GIF - Wikipedia

    Steve Wilhite's slide at the 2013 Webby Awards. The pronunciation of GIF, an acronym for the Graphics Interchange Format, has been disputed since the 1990s.Popularly rendered in English as a one-syllable word, the acronym is most commonly pronounced / ɡ ɪ f / ⓘ (with a hard g as in gift) or / dʒ ɪ f / ⓘ (with a soft g as in gem), differing in the phoneme represented by the letter G.
