    Three sets involved[edit] In the left hand sides of the following identities, L{\displaystyle L}is the L eft most set, M{\displaystyle M}is the M iddle set, and R{\displaystyle R}is the R ight most set. Precedence rules. There is no universal agreement on the order of precedenceof the basic set operators.

  3. Transfer of learning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transfer_of_learning

    Although the theory is that the similarity of elements facilitates transfer, there is a challenge in identifying which specific elements had an effect on the learner at the time of learning. Factors that can affect transfer include: Context and degree of original learning: how well the learner acquired the knowledge.

  4. Banach–Tarski paradox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banach–Tarski_paradox

    The Banach–Tarski paradox is a theorem in set-theoretic geometry, which states the following: Given a solid ball in three-dimensional space, there exists a decomposition of the ball into a finite number of disjoint subsets, which can then be put back together in a different way to yield two identical copies of the original ball.

  5. Union (set theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_(set_theory)

    In set theory, the union (denoted by ∪) of a collection of sets is the set of all elements in the collection. [1] It is one of the fundamental operations through which sets can be combined and related to each other. A nullary union refers to a union of zero ( ) sets and it is by definition equal to the empty set.

  6. History of atomic theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_atomic_theory

    History of atomic theory. The current theoretical model of the atom involves a dense nucleus surrounded by a probabilistic "cloud" of electrons. Atomic theory is the scientific theory that matter is composed of particles called atoms. The definition of the word "atom" has changed over the years in response to scientific discoveries.

  7. Transfer of training - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transfer_of_training

    For example, after completing a safety course, transfer of training occurs when the employee uses learned safety behaviors in their work environment. [1] Theoretically, transfer of training is a specific application of the theory of transfer of learning that describes the positive, zero, or negative performance outcomes of a training program ...

  8. Central limit theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_limit_theorem

    The huger the mob, and the greater the apparent anarchy, the more perfect is its sway. It is the supreme law of Unreason. Whenever a large sample of chaotic elements are taken in hand and marshalled in the order of their magnitude, an unsuspected and most beautiful form of regularity proves to have been latent all along.

  9. Immanuel Kant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immanuel_Kant

    Immanuel Kant (22 April 1724 – 12 February 1804) was a German philosopher and one of the central Enlightenment thinkers. Born in Königsberg, Kant's comprehensive and systematic works in epistemology, metaphysics, ethics, and aesthetics have made him one of the most influential and controversial figures in modern Western philosophy, being called the "father of modern ethics", the "father of ...
