  2. Abscissa and ordinate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abscissa_and_ordinate

    The first of these signed ordered pairs is the abscissa of the corresponding point, and the second value is its ordinate. In common usage, the abscissa refers to the x coordinate and the ordinate refers to the y coordinate of a standard two-dimensional graph. [ 1][ 2] The distance of a point from the y axis, scaled with the x axis, is called ...

  3. Arrhenius plot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrhenius_plot

    Arrhenius plot. In chemical kinetics, an Arrhenius plot displays the logarithm of a reaction rate constant, ( , ordinate axis) plotted against reciprocal of the temperature ( , abscissa ). [ 1] Arrhenius plots are often used to analyze the effect of temperature on the rates of chemical reactions. For a single rate-limited thermally activated ...

  4. Chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chart

    One of the most important uses of text in a graph is the title. A graph's title usually appears above the main graphic and provides a succinct description of what the data in the graph refers to. Dimensions in the data are often displayed on axes. If a horizontal and a vertical axis are used, they are usually referred to as the x-axis and y-axis.

  5. Folium of Descartes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folium_of_Descartes

    The folium of Descartes is related to the trisectrix of Maclaurin by affine transformation. To see this, start with the equation and change variables to find the equation in a coordinate system rotated 45 degrees. This amounts to setting. In the plane the equation is. If we stretch the curve in the direction by a factor of this becomes which is ...

  6. Descartes' rule of signs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Descartes'_rule_of_signs

    [2] [3] In the 1970s Askold Khovanskii developed the theory of fewnomials that generalises Descartes' rule. [ 4 ] The rule of signs can be thought of as stating that the number of real roots of a polynomial is dependent on the polynomial's complexity, and that this complexity is proportional to the number of monomials it has, not its degree.

  7. Legendre function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legendre_function

    Plot of the Legendre function of the second kind Q n(x) with n=0.5 in the complex plane from -2-2i to 2+2i with colors created with Mathematica 13.1 function ComplexPlot3D. These are generally known as Legendre functions of the first and second kind of noninteger degree, with the additional qualifier 'associated' if μ is non-zero.

  8. Legendre transformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legendre_transformation

    The function () is defined on the interval [,].For a given , the difference () takes the maximum at ′.Thus, the Legendre transformation of () is () = ′ (′).. In mathematics, the Legendre transformation (or Legendre transform), first introduced by Adrien-Marie Legendre in 1787 when studying the minimal surface problem, [1] is an involutive transformation on real-valued functions that are ...

  9. Volcano plot (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volcano_plot_(statistics)

    This plot is colored such that those points having a fold-change less than 2 (log 2 = 1) are shown in gray. In statistics, a volcano plot is a type of scatter-plot that is used to quickly identify changes in large data sets composed of replicate data. [ 1][ 2] It plots significance versus fold-change on the y and x axes, respectively.
