  2. Nonlinear system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonlinear_system

    In mathematics and science, a nonlinear system (or a non-linear system) is a system in which the change of the output is not proportional to the change of the input. [1] [2] Nonlinear problems are of interest to engineers, biologists, [3] [4] [5] physicists, [6] [7] mathematicians, and many other scientists since most systems are inherently nonlinear in nature. [8]

  3. Chaos theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_theory

    For example, a study on models of Canadian lynx showed there was chaotic behavior in the population growth. [133] Chaos can also be found in ecological systems, such as hydrology . While a chaotic model for hydrology has its shortcomings, there is still much to learn from looking at the data through the lens of chaos theory. [ 134 ]

  4. New media - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_media

    New media are communication technologies that enable or enhance interaction between users as well as interaction between users and content. [1] In the middle of the 1990s, the phrase "new media" became widely used as part of a sales pitch for the influx of interactive CD-ROMs for entertainment and education. [2]

  5. Non-linear editing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-linear_editing

    A non-linear video editing studio. Non-linear editing is a form of offline editing for audio, video, and image editing. In offline editing, the original content is not modified in the course of editing. In non-linear editing, edits are specified and modified by specialized software.

    A girl with a newspaper featuring landing on the Moon. 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.

  7. Nonlinear partial differential equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonlinear_partial...

    In mathematics and physics, a nonlinear partial differential equation is a partial differential equation with nonlinear terms.They describe many different physical systems, ranging from gravitation to fluid dynamics, and have been used in mathematics to solve problems such as the Poincaré conjecture and the Calabi conjecture.

  8. Complex system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_system

    A complex system is a system composed of many components which may interact with each other. [1] Examples of complex systems are Earth's global climate, organisms, the human brain, infrastructure such as power grid, transportation or communication systems, complex software and electronic systems, social and economic organizations (like cities), an ecosystem, a living cell, and, ultimately, for ...

  9. Statistics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistics

    An experimental study involves taking measurements of the system under study, manipulating the system, and then taking additional measurements with different levels using the same procedure to determine if the manipulation has modified the values of the measurements. In contrast, an observational study does not involve experimental manipulation ...
