  2. Lateralization of brain function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateralization_of_brain...

    The lateralization of brain function (or hemispheric dominance [1] [2] / latralisation [3] [4]) is the tendency for some neural functions or cognitive processes to be specialized to one side of the brain or the other. The median longitudinal fissure separates the human brain into two distinct cerebral hemispheres, connected by the corpus callosum.

  3. Identity element - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identity_element

    In fact, every element can be a left identity. In a similar manner, there can be several right identities. But if there is both a right identity and a left identity, then they must be equal, resulting in a single two-sided identity. To see this, note that if l is a left identity and r is a right identity, then l = l ∗ r = r.

  4. One- and two-tailed tests - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-_and_two-tailed_tests

    A two-tailed test applied to the normal distribution. A one-tailed test, showing the p -value as the size of one tail. In statistical significance testing, a one-tailed test and a two-tailed test are alternative ways of computing the statistical significance of a parameter inferred from a data set, in terms of a test statistic.

  5. Semi-differentiability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semi-differentiability

    A function is differentiable at an interior point a of its domain if and only if it is semi-differentiable at a and the left derivative is equal to the right derivative. An example of a semi-differentiable function, which is not differentiable, is the absolute value function. f ( x ) = | x | {\displaystyle f (x)=|x|} , at a = 0. We find easily.

  6. Cancellation property - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cancellation_property

    Cancellation property. In mathematics, the notion of cancellativity (or cancellability) is a generalization of the notion of invertibility . An element a in a magma (M, ∗) has the left cancellation property (or is left-cancellative) if for all b and c in M, a ∗ b = a ∗ c always implies that b = c . An element a in a magma (M, ∗) has the ...

  7. Inverse element - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_element

    Inverse element. In mathematics, the concept of an inverse element generalises the concepts of opposite ( −x) and reciprocal ( 1/x) of numbers. Given an operation denoted here ∗, and an identity element denoted e, if x ∗ y = e, one says that x is a left inverse of y, and that y is a right inverse of x. (An identity element is an element ...

  8. Ideal (ring theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ideal_(ring_theory)

    In mathematics, and more specifically in ring theory, an ideal of a ring is a special subset of its elements. Ideals generalize certain subsets of the integers, such as the even numbers or the multiples of 3. Addition and subtraction of even numbers preserves evenness, and multiplying an even number by any integer (even or odd) results in an ...

  9. Continuous function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_function

    e. In mathematics, a continuous function is a function such that a small variation of the argument induces a small variation of the value of the function. This implies there are no abrupt changes in value, known as discontinuities. More precisely, a function is continuous if arbitrarily small changes in its value can be assured by restricting ...
