Generalizing this result, Hilbert's Nullstellensatz provides a fundamental correspondence between ideals of polynomial rings and algebraic sets. Using the Nullstellensatz and related results, mathematicians have established a strong correspondence between questions on algebraic sets and questions of ring theory. This correspondence is the specificity of algebraic geometry.

Functor - Wikipedia: "There is a convention, now widely disparaged but still in use, which perversely refers to "vectors"—i.e, vector fields, elements of the space of sections {\displaystyle \Gamma (TM)} of a tangent bundle {\displaystyle TM} —as "contravariant" and to "covectors"—i.e., 1-forms, elements of the space of sections {\displaystyle \Gamma (T^{*}M)} of a cotangent bundle {\displaystyle T^{*}M} —as "covariant". This terminology originates in physics, and its rationale has to do with the position of the indices ("upstairs" and "downstairs") in expressions such as {\displaystyle x^{i}=\Lambda _{j}^{i}x^{j}} for {\displaystyle \mathbf {x} '={\boldsymbol {\Lambda }}\mathbf {x} } or {\displaystyle \omega _{i}=\Lambda _{i}^{j}\omega _{j}} for {\displaystyle {\boldsymbol {\omega }}'={\boldsymbol {\omega }}{\boldsymbol {\Lambda }}^{T}.} In this formalism it is observed that the coordinate transformation symbol {\displaystyle \Lambda _{i}^{j}} (representing the matrix {\displaystyle {\boldsymbol {\Lambda }}^{T}} ) acts on the basis vectors "in the same way" as on the "covector coordinates": {\displaystyle \mathbf {e} _{i}=\Lambda _{i}^{j}\mathbf {e} _{j}} —whereas it acts "in the opposite way" on the "vector coordinates" (but "in the same way" as on the basis covectors: {\displaystyle \mathbf {e} ^{i}\Lambda _{j}^{i}\mathbf {e} ^{j}} ). This terminology is perverse because it is the covectors that have pullbacks in general and are thus contravariant, whereas vectors in general are covariant since they can be pushed forward. See also Covariance and contravariance of vectors.

The derivative (or differential) of a (differentiable) map f: M → N between manifolds, at a point x in M, is then a linear map from the tangent space of M at x to the tangent space of N at f(x). The derivative function becomes a map between the tangent bundles of M and N.

Symmetry (physics) - Wikipedia

Symmetry (physics) - Wikipedia: "A family of particular transformations may be continuous (such as rotation of a circle) or discrete (e.g., reflection of a bilaterally symmetric figure, or rotation of a regular polygon). Continuous and discrete transformations give rise to corresponding types of symmetries. Continuous symmetries can be described by Lie groups while discrete symmetries are described by finite groups (see Symmetry group).

Group homomorphism - Wikipedia

Group homomorphism - Wikipedia: "Types of group homomorphism[edit]
Monomorphism
A group homomorphism that is injective (or, one-to-one); i.e., preserves distinctness.
Epimorphism
A group homomorphism that is surjective (or, onto); i.e., reaches every point in the codomain.
Isomorphism
A group homomorphism that is bijective; i.e., injective and surjective. Its inverse is also a group homomorphism. In this case, the groups G and H are called isomorphic; they differ only in the notation of their elements and are identical for all practical purposes.
Endomorphism
A homomorphism, h: G → G; the domain and codomain are the same. Also called an endomorphism of G.
Automorphism"

Differential structure - Wikipedia

Differential structure - Wikipedia: "In mathematics, an n-dimensional differential structure (or differentiable structure) on a set M makes M into an n-dimensional differential manifold, which is a topological manifold with some additional structure that allows for differential calculus on the manifold. If M is already a topological manifold, it is required that the new topology be identical to the existing one.

Lie bracket of vector fields - Wikipedia

Lie bracket of vector fields - Wikipedia: "Conceptually, the Lie bracket [X,Y] is the derivative of Y along the flow generated by X. A generalization of the Lie bracket is the Lie derivative, which allows differentiation of any tensor field along the flow generated by X. The Lie bracket [X,Y] equals the Lie derivative of the vector Y (which is a tensor field) along X, and is sometimes denoted "

Multivariable calculus - Wikipedia

Multivariable calculus - Wikipedia: "Fundamental theorem of calculus in multiple dimensions[edit]
In single-variable calculus, the fundamental theorem of calculus establishes a link between the derivative and the integral. The link between the derivative and the integral in multivariable calculus is embodied by the integral theorems of vector calculus:[1]:543ff
Gradient theorem
Stokes' theorem
Divergence theorem
Green's theorem.
In a more advanced study of multivariable calculus, it is seen that these four theorems are specific incarnations of a more general theorem, the generalized Stokes' theorem, which applies to the integration of differential forms over manifolds.[2]"

Direct product of groups - Wikipedia

Direct product of groups - Wikipedia: "This operation is the group-theoretic analogue of the Cartesian product of sets and is one of several important notions of direct product in mathematics.
In the context of abelian groups, the direct product is sometimes referred to as the direct sum, and is denoted G ⊕ H. "

Group theory - Wikipedia

Group theory - Wikipedia: "The first class of groups to undergo a systematic study was permutation groups. Given any set X and a collection G of bijections of X into itself (known as permutations) that is closed under compositions and inverses, G is a group acting on X. If X consists of n elements and G consists of all permutations, G is the symmetric group Sn; in general, any permutation group G is a subgroup of the symmetric group of X. An early construction due to Cayley exhibited any group as a permutation group, acting on itself (X = G) by means of the left regular representation.

Pullback (differential geometry) - Wikipedia

Pullback (differential geometry) - Wikipedia: "When the map φ is a diffeomorphism, then the pullback, together with the pushforward, can be used to transform any tensor field from N to M or vice versa. In particular, if φ is a diffeomorphism between open subsets of Rn and Rn, viewed as a change of coordinates (perhaps between different charts on a manifold M), then the pullback and pushforward describe the transformation properties of covariant and contravariant tensors used in more traditional (coordinate dependent) approaches to the subject.

Group (mathematics) - Wikipedia

Group (mathematics) - Wikipedia: "Many number systems, such as the integers and the rationals enjoy a naturally given group structure. In some cases, such as with the rationals, both addition and multiplication operations give rise to group structures. Such number systems are predecessors to more general algebraic structures known as rings and fields. Further abstract algebraic concepts such as modules, vector spaces and algebras also form groups.

Citizen history and data – Vintage Citizen Watches

Citizen history and data – Vintage Citizen Watches: "The “Center Second” came in many versions, and even a solid gold one, and a total of 6-7 generations for about 10 years. The first one was produced in 1948. All of them were running at 18,000 bph and came  equipped with 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 15, 16, 17 and even 19 jewels. The Center Seconds are non-hacking and don’t have a date complication. During this time they became water protected and starting from 1956 they had the Citizen Parashock system installed.

The first watch presented here is ParaShock and Water Protected and is made in about 1961. The case back is SS and screws in even though most of them had snap on case backs.  I love the simplicity of the pale white dial with gold accents! The Citizen “C” logo at 12, the hour markers and the hands are all golden while all the rest of the marking are printed in black.

Differential form - Wikipedia

Differential form - Wikipedia: "In the mathematical fields of differential geometry and tensor calculus, differential forms are an approach to multivariable calculus that is independent of coordinates. Differential forms provide a unified approach to defining integrands over curves, surfaces, volumes, and higher-dimensional manifolds. The modern notion of differential forms was pioneered by Élie Cartan. It has many applications, especially in geometry, topology and physics.
For instance, the expression f(x) dx from one-variable calculus is an example of a 1-form, and can be integrated over an interval [a, b] in the domain of f:
{\displaystyle \int _{a}^{b}f(x)\,dx}"

Morphism - Wikipedia

Morphism - Wikipedia: "Examples[edit]
In the concrete categories studied in universal algebra (groups, rings, modules, etc.), morphisms are usually homomorphisms. Likewise, the notions of automorphism, endomorphism, epimorphism, homeomorphism, isomorphism, and monomorphism all find use in universal algebra.
In the category of topological spaces, morphisms are continuous functions and isomorphisms are called homeomorphisms.
In the category of smooth manifolds, morphisms are smooth functions and isomorphisms are called diffeomorphisms."
