  2. Conformal Killing vector field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conformal_Killing_vector_field

    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 ...

  3. Symplectomorphism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symplectomorphism

    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 .

  4. Critical consciousness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_consciousness

    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 ...

  5. Pushforward (differential) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pushforward_(differential)

    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 ...

  6. Logo (programming language) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logo_(programming_language)

    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 .

  7. Transcendental extension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcendental_extension

    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 ...

  8. Vector field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_field

    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 ...
