21Chaotic mixing — An example of chaotic mixing In chaos theory and fluid dynamics, chaotic mixing is a process by which flow tracers develop into complex fractals under the action of a time varying fluid flow. The flow is characterized by an exponential growth of… …
22Exponentiation by squaring — Exponentiating by squaring is an algorithm used for the fast computation of large integer powers of a number. It is also known as the square and multiply algorithm or binary exponentiation. In additive groups the appropriate name is double and… …
23Number system — This article is about different sets of numbers. For different methods of expressing numbers with symbols, see numeral system. In mathematics, a number system is a set of numbers, (in the broadest sense of the word), together with one or more… …
24Highly composite number — This article is about numbers having many divisors. For numbers factorized only to powers of 2, 3, 5 and 7 (also named 7 smooth numbers), see Smooth number. A highly composite number (HCN) is a positive integer with more divisors than any… …
25Order of operations — In mathematics and computer programming, the order of operations (sometimes called operator precedence) is a rule used to clarify unambiguously which procedures should be performed first in a given mathematical expression. For example, in… …

27Polynomial ring — In mathematics, especially in the field of abstract algebra, a polynomial ring is a ring formed from the set of polynomials in one or more variables with coefficients in another ring. Polynomial rings have influenced much of mathematics, from the …
28Critical phenomena — In physics, critical phenomena is the collective name associated with the physics of critical points. Most of them stem from the divergence of the correlation length, but also the dynamics slows down. Critical phenomena include scaling relations… …
29Monomial order — In mathematics, a monomial order is a total order on the set of all (monic) monomials in a given polynomial ring, satisfying the following two properties: If u < v and w is any other monomial, then uw<vw. In other words, the ordering… …
30mathematics — /math euh mat iks/, n. 1. (used with a sing. v.) the systematic treatment of magnitude, relationships between figures and forms, and relations between quantities expressed symbolically. 2. (used with a sing. or pl. v.) mathematical procedures,… …
