  2. Multimedia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multimedia

    Multimedia. Multimedia is a form of communication that uses a combination of different content forms, such as writing, audio, images, animations, or video, into a single interactive presentation, in contrast to traditional mass media, such as printed material or audio recordings, which feature little to no interaction between users.

  3. Function (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_(mathematics)

    t. e. In mathematics, a function from a set X to a set Y assigns to each element of X exactly one element of Y. [1] The set X is called the domain of the function [2] and the set Y is called the codomain of the function. [3] Functions were originally the idealization of how a varying quantity depends on another quantity.

  4. Big O notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_O_notation

    Big O notation is a mathematical notation that describes the limiting behavior of a function when the argument tends towards a particular value or infinity. Big O is a member of a family of notations invented by German mathematicians Paul Bachmann, Edmund Landau, and others, collectively called Bachmann–Landau notation or asymptotic notation.

  5. Multimedia studies - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multimedia_Studies

    Multimedia studies is an interdisciplinary field of academic discourse focused on the understanding of technologies and cultural dimensions of linking traditional media sources with ones based on new media to support social systems.

  6. Continuous function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_function

    e. In mathematics, a continuous function is a function such that a small variation of the argument induces a small variation of the value of the function. This implies there are no abrupt changes in value, known as discontinuities. More precisely, a function is continuous if arbitrarily small changes in its value can be assured by restricting ...

  7. Lambda calculus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambda_calculus

    Recursion is the definition of a function using the function itself. A definition containing itself inside itself, by value, leads to the whole value being of infinite size. Other notations which support recursion natively overcome this by referring to the function definition by name. Lambda calculus cannot express this: all functions are ...

  8. Hash function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_function

    A perceptual hash is a type of locality-sensitive hash, which is analogous if features of the multimedia are similar. This is in contrast to cryptographic hashing , which relies on the avalanche effect of a small change in input value creating a drastic change in output value.

  9. Hyperbolic functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic_functions

    The hyperbolic functions may be defined in terms of the legs of a right triangle covering this sector. In complex analysis, the hyperbolic functions arise when applying the ordinary sine and cosine functions to an imaginary angle. The hyperbolic sine and the hyperbolic cosine are entire functions.
