  2. Population density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_density

    Population density is the number of people per unit of area, usually transcribed as "per square kilometer" or square mile, and which may include or exclude, for example, areas of water or glaciers. Commonly this is calculated for a county, city, country, another territory or the entire world . The world's population is around 8,000,000,000 [3 ...

  3. Human overpopulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_overpopulation

    Human overpopulation. Human overpopulation (or human population overshoot) describes a concern that human populations may become too large to be sustained by their environment or resources in the long term. The topic is usually discussed in the context of world population, though it may concern individual nations, regions, and cities.

  4. Natural density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_density

    Natural density. In number theory, natural density, also referred to as asymptotic density or arithmetic density, is one method to measure how "large" a subset of the set of natural numbers is. It relies chiefly on the probability of encountering members of the desired subset when combing through the interval [1, n] as n grows large.

  5. Dot distribution map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dot_distribution_map

    A dot distribution map (or a dot density map or simply a dot map) is a type of thematic map that uses a point symbol to visualize the geographic distribution of a large number of related phenomena. Dot maps are a type of unit visualizations that rely on a visual scatter to show spatial patterns, especially variances in density.

  6. List of countries by arable land density - Wikipedia

    Arable density (m² per capita) by country. This is a list of countries ordered by physiological density."Arable land" is defined by the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization, the source of "Arable land (hectares per person)" as land under temporary crops (double-cropped areas are counted once), temporary meadows for mowing or for pasture, land under market or kitchen gardens, and land ...

  7. Arithmetic mean - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arithmetic_mean

    The arithmetic mean of a set of observed data is equal to the sum of the numerical values of each observation, divided by the total number of observations. Symbolically, for a data set consisting of the values , the arithmetic mean is defined by the formula: [2] (For an explanation of the summation operator, see summation .)

  8. Centroid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centroid

    In mathematics and physics, the centroid, also known as geometric center or center of figure, of a plane figure or solid figure is the arithmetic mean position of all the points in the surface of the figure. [further explanation needed] The same definition extends to any object in - dimensional Euclidean space. [1]

  9. Normal distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_distribution

    If the mean =, the first factor is 1, and the Fourier transform is, apart from a constant factor, a normal density on the frequency domain, with mean 0 and variance /. In particular, the standard normal distribution φ {\displaystyle \varphi } is an eigenfunction of the Fourier transform.
