  2. Information theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_theory

    e. Information theory is the mathematical study of the quantification, storage, and communication of information. [1] The field was originally established by the works of Harry Nyquist and Ralph Hartley, in the 1920s, and Claude Shannon in the 1940s. [2] : vii The field, in applied mathematics, is at the intersection of probability theory ...

    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.

  4. Inverse kinematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_kinematics

    In computer animation and robotics, inverse kinematics is the mathematical process of calculating the variable joint parameters needed to place the end of a kinematic chain, such as a robot manipulator or animation character's skeleton, in a given position and orientation relative to the start of the chain. Given joint parameters, the position ...

  5. Multimodality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multimodality

    Multimodality is the application of multiple literacies within one medium. Multiple literacies or "modes" contribute to an audience's understanding of a composition. [1] Everything from the placement of images to the organization of the content to the method of delivery creates meaning.

  6. Recursion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recursion

    Recursion occurs when the definition of a concept or process depends on a simpler or previous version of itself. Recursion is used in a variety of disciplines ranging from linguistics to logic . The most common application of recursion is in mathematics and computer science , where a function being defined is applied within its own definition.

  7. Aspect ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspect_ratio

    The aspect ratio of a geometric shape is the ratio of its sizes in different dimensions. For example, the aspect ratio of a rectangle is the ratio of its longer side to its shorter sideā€”the ratio of width to height, [1] [2] when the rectangle is oriented as a "landscape". The aspect ratio is most often expressed as two integer numbers ...
