  2. Computational mathematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_mathematics

    Computational mathematics is the study of the interaction between mathematics and calculations done by a computer. [1] A large part of computational mathematics consists roughly of using mathematics for allowing and improving computer computation in areas of science and engineering where mathematics are useful.

  3. Information theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_theory

    v. t. e. Information theory is the mathematical study of the quantification, storage, and communication of information. The field was originally established by the works of Harry Nyquist and Ralph Hartley, in the 1920s, and Claude Shannon in the 1940s. [1] : vii The field, in applied mathematics, is at the intersection of probability theory ...

  4. Research proposal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Research_proposal

    A research proposal is a document proposing a research project, generally in the sciences or academia, and generally constitutes a request for sponsorship of that research. Proposals are evaluated on the cost and potential impact of the proposed research, and on the soundness of the proposed plan for carrying it out. Research proposals ...

  5. Institute for Research on Learning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institute_for_Research_on...

    Research focused on Learning in the K 8- 12 classroom, with special emphasis on mathematics as the greatest hurdle to school success. Researchers developed alternatives to, and support of, traditional math modules by embedding mathematical topics in practical tasks (e.g. design of a building) executed in groups and with computers.

    The Banff International Research Station (BIRS) for Mathematical Innovation and Discovery was established in 2003. [1] It provides an independent research institute for the mathematical sciences in North America, a counterpart to the Oberwolfach Research Institute for Mathematics in Europe. [2] The research station, commonly known by its ...

  7. 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.

  8. Media studies - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_studies

    Media studies is a discipline and field of study that deals with the content, history, and effects of various media; in particular, the mass media. Media studies may draw on traditions from both the social sciences and the humanities, but mostly from its core disciplines of mass communication, communication, communication sciences, and ...

  9. Mathematical statistics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_statistics

    Mathematical statistics is the application of probability theory, a branch of mathematics, to statistics, as opposed to techniques for collecting statistical data. Specific mathematical techniques which are used for this include mathematical analysis, linear algebra, stochastic analysis, differential equations, and measure theory.
