Glossary of terms for Pure and Applied Sciences

15 Pure and Applied Sciences Program terms

Hi, my name is Mustafa, and I am studying at Ahunstic College in Pure and Applied Sciences. This is my glossary about my program. You can find nouns, adjectives and verbs related to my program. All of the 15 terms are accompanied by a definition, translation in French, an example, image and sound to help students we don't study in my program to clearly understand the terms of my program. I have built my glossary with the help of Wikimedia, for the pictures, Google, for the definitions, Lextutor, for the examples, and Virtual Writing Tutor, for the set up of my work.

algebra
noun
The part of mathematics in which letters and other general symbols are used to represent numbers and quantities in formulae and equations.
Example: This means that we can only factorize in the form f(x) = hg(x) for and by Theorem 2.2, there is no proper factorization of f(x) in F[x] . • (Page 54, Chatters and Hajarnavis, An Introductory Course In Commutative ALGEBRA, Oxford (1998)) This next basic example shows how the Eisenstein irreducbilty criterion may be used.
fr: algèbre
Find the value of X.
astronomy
noun
The branch of science that deals with celestial objects, space, and the physical universe as a whole.
Example: The development of the printing press, the schism in Christianity, scientific (in the natural science fashion) advances: gravity, ASTRONOMY, chemistry, ad so on.
fr: astronomie
The IYA2009/Mani Bhaumik Prize for Excellence in Astronomy Education and Public Outreach celebrates the unsung individuals behind the thousands of IYA2009 events and projects that bring astronomy to the general public.
biology
noun
The study of living organisms, divided into many specialized fields that cover their morphology, physiology, anatomy, behavior, origin, and distribution.
Example: It was established in 1991 as a result of the deliberation of a working group formed by the British Ecological Society, The British Association of Nature Conservationists, the Institute of BIOLOGY and Royal Geographical Society (BES&IEEM, 2001).
fr: biologie
 Applying synthetic biology tools to optimize production of chemicals by cells
chemistry
noun
The branch of science that deals with the identification of the substances of which matter is composed; the investigation of their properties and the ways in which they interact, combine, and change; and the use of these processes to form new substances.
Example: Living radical polymerization is a popular topic in macro molecular CHEMISTRY, as well as CHEMISTRY in general due to its applications in the materials industry.
fr: chimie

geometry
noun
The branch of mathematics concerned with the properties and relations of points, lines, surfaces, solids, and higher dimensional analogs.
Example: The nitrogens in 1 are expected to adopt a pyramidal GEOMETRY,2 orientating the Boc groups anti - to each other.
fr: géometrie
 A three-dimensional representation of a four-dimensional object, a tesseract.
mathematics
noun
The abstract science of number, quantity, and space. Mathematics may be studied in its own right (pure mathematics), or as it is applied to other disciplines such as physics and engineering (applied mathematics).
Example: Write a letter of advice to a very good student of yours who is about travel abroad to study MATHEMATICS.
fr: mathématiques
Square root of x formula. Symbol of mathematics.
physics
noun
The branch of science concerned with the nature and properties of matter and energy. The subject matter of physics, distinguished from that of chemistry and biology, includes mechanics, heat, light and other radiation, sound, electricity, magnetism, and the structure of atoms.
Example: In our dream can feel its weight, perceive its colour, and shape, and it may even be the case that in the dream we are convinced of its obedience to the laws of PHYSICS.
fr: physique
Dave Aveline, ground testbed lead for the Cold Atom Lab, works around the physics package.
practical
adjective
Of or concerned with the actual doing or use of something rather than with theory and ideas.
Example: The Institute plays an important role in the provision of guidelines which provide PRACTICAL advice for professional in order to conduct assessments or survey in relation to ecology and environmental management.
fr: pratique
Cover of The Journal of Practical Metaphysics by Horatio Dresser, 1897
probability
noun
The extent to which something is probable; the likelihood of something happening or being the case.
Example: The CIII protein is a cellular protease inhibitor that prevents the degradation of the CII repressor increasing the PROBABILITY a lysogen will be formed.
fr: probabilité
A visual depiction of independent vs. non-mutually exclusive probability events.
theoretical
adjective
Concerned with or involving the theory of a subject or area of study rather than its practical application.
Example: This is shown experimentally and in from THEORETICAL calculations.
fr: théorique
 Nikolai Yegorovich Zhukovsky - Collected Papers. Theoretical Basis of aeronautics.
to analyze
verb
Examine methodically and in detail the constitution or structure of (something, especially information), typically for purposes of explanation and interpretation.
Example: At this point it is pertinent TO ANALYZE the limitations of the experimental set up employed here in order to understand why this reported discrepancy has occurred.
fr: analyser
 NASA Researchers Analyze a Moon Dust Simulation in the 8- by 6-Foot Supersonic Wind Tunnel facility at the Lewis Research Center.
to calculate
verb
Determine (the amount or number of something) mathematically.
Example: Data from other groups were collected, so that as many values of K and T could be used TO CALCULATE accurate values of A and E.
fr: calculer
 The way to calculate static pressure created by the impeller
To estimate
verb
Roughly calculate or judge the value, number, quantity, or extent of.
Example: These errors are impossible TO ESTIMATE, hence are variables in the experiment.
fr: estimer
 A Scout must be able to estimate heights.
to prove
verb
Demonstrate to be the specified thing by evidence or argument.
Example: Although the symbiotic origin of undulipodia is gaining support, the controversy is yet to be solved, as there is insufficient evidence TO PROVE either direct filiation or the symbiotic hypothesis is the reason for the origin of undulipodia.
