Game theory is the study of mathematical models of strategic interaction between rational decision-makers. It is mainly used in economics, political science, and psychology, as well as in logic, computer science, biology, and engineering. Originally, it addressed zero-sum games, in which one person’s gains result in losses for the other participants. Today, game theory applies … Read more
STEM is an acronym that stands for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. The term is used to describe an educational curriculum that focuses on these four subject areas. STEM education is designed to prepare students for careers in fields that require a strong understanding of all four subject areas. STEM careers are some of the … Read more
The degree per second is a unit of measurement of angular velocity (rotational speed). It is equal to 1/60 of a degree per minute, or 0.016666666666667 degrees per second. How do you convert degrees to radians per second? There are 2π radians in a complete revolution, so 1 radian is 360/(2π) = 180/π degrees. Thus, … Read more
In mathematics, an operator is a function that takes one or more input values and produces an output value. The input values are called operands, and the output value is called the value of the operator. Operators are usually represented by symbols such as +, -, *, /, or by words such as “add,” “subtract,” … Read more
In mathematics, a continuum is a complete, connected, infinite set. The word continuum comes from the Latin word for “a flowing together”. The continuum hypothesis is the hypothesis that there is no infinite set that is proper subset of the real numbers. What does it mean for something to be on a Continuum? A continuum … Read more
A Markov model is a mathematical model used to predict the probability of future events, based on the assumption that the past and present events have no bearing on the future. Markov models are named after Andrey Markov, who first developed them. What is Markov models in machine learning? A Markov model is a machine … Read more
A dependent variable is a variable that is affected by the independent variable. In an experiment, the dependent variable is the variable being tested and the independent variable is the variable being manipulated. What do you mean in dependent variable? In mathematics, a dependent variable is a variable whose value is determined by another variable. … Read more
A transcendental number is a real or complex number that is not algebraic, meaning that it cannot be the root of a non-zero polynomial equation with integer coefficients. The first transcendental numbers were discovered in the early 19th century, and their existence was not rigorously proven until 1844. The most famous transcendental numbers are e … Read more
Space is a mathematical concept that refers to the total amount of space that exists. It is often thought of as a three-dimensional concept, but can also be thought of as four-dimensional, five-dimensional, or higher-dimensional. What is space made of? Space is made of points. Do people live in space? Yes, people do live in … Read more
The percent symbol (%) is a mathematical symbol used to indicate a percentage, or a proportion of something. For example, if someone says “I earned a 70% on my math test,” they are saying that they earned 70 out of 100 possible points. How do you write percents per cent? To write percents per cent, … Read more
