Conformal Killing vector field. In conformal geometry, a conformal Killing vector field on a manifold of dimension n with (pseudo) Riemannian metric (also called a conformal Killing vector, CKV, or conformal colineation), is a vector field whose (locally defined) flow defines conformal transformations, that is, preserve up to scale and preserve ...
Symplectomorphism. In mathematics, a symplectomorphism or symplectic map is an isomorphism in the category of symplectic manifolds. In classical mechanics, a symplectomorphism represents a transformation of phase space that is volume-preserving and preserves the symplectic structure of phase space, and is called a canonical transformation .
Critical consciousness, conscientization, or conscientização in Portuguese ( Portuguese pronunciation: [kõsjẽtʃizaˈsɐ̃w] ), is a popular education and social concept developed by Brazilian pedagogue and educational theorist Paulo Freire, grounded in neo-Marxist critical theory. Critical consciousness focuses on achieving an in-depth ...
A section of φ ∗ TN over M is called a vector field along φ. For example, if M is a submanifold of N and φ is the inclusion, then a vector field along φ is just a section of the tangent bundle of N along M; in particular, a vector field on M defines such a section via the inclusion of TM inside TN. This idea generalizes to arbitrary ...
Logo is an educational programming language, designed in 1967 by Wally Feurzeig, Seymour Papert, and Cynthia Solomon. [1] Logo is not an acronym: the name was coined by Feurzeig while he was at Bolt, Beranek and Newman, [2] and derives from the Greek logos, meaning word or thought .
Transcendental extension. In mathematics, a transcendental extension is a field extension such that there exists an element in the field that is transcendental over the field ; that is, an element that is not a root of any univariate polynomial with coefficients in . In other words, a transcendental extension is a field extension that is not ...
In vector calculus and physics, a vector field is an assignment of a vector to each point in a space, most commonly Euclidean space . [1] A vector field on a plane can be visualized as a collection of arrows with given magnitudes and directions, each attached to a point on the plane. Vector fields are often used to model, for example, the speed ...
