  3. Function (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    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. Hyperbolic functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic_functions

    Hyperbolic functions occur in the calculations of angles and distances in hyperbolic geometry. They also occur in the solutions of many linear differential equations (such as the equation defining a catenary ), cubic equations, and Laplace's equation in Cartesian coordinates. Laplace's equations are important in many areas of physics, including ...

  5. Thioglycolate broth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thioglycolate_broth

    Thioglycollate broth is a multipurpose, enrichment, differential medium used primarily to determine the oxygen requirements of microorganisms. Sodium thioglycollate in the medium consumes oxygen and permits the growth of obligate anaerobes. [1] This, combined with the diffusion of oxygen from the top of the broth, produces a range of oxygen ...
