denotation

Examples of denotation in the following topics:

• Number

  • The Singular denotes one object, the Plural, more than one.

• Overview of Non-Uniform Circular Motion

  • Non-uniform circular motion denotes a change in the speed of a particle moving along a circular path.
  • It follows then that non-uniform circular motion denotes a change in the speed of the particle moving along the circular path.
  • Note especially the change in the velocity vector sizes, denoting change in the magnitude of velocity.

• Solving Problems with Radicals

  • Roots are written using a radical sign, and a number denoting which root to solve for.
  • If there is no denotation, it is implied that you are finding the square root.
  • Otherwise, a number will appear denoting which root to solve for.

• Random Variable Notation

  • Upper case letters like X or Y denote a random variable.
  • Lower case letters like x or y denote the value of a random variable.

• Sets of Numbers

  • A set is a collection of unique numbers, often denoted with curly brackets: {}.
  • An extensional definition is denoted by enclosing the list of members in curly brackets: $C = \left \{ 4, 2, 1, 3 \right \}$.
  • The set of natural numbers is represented by the symbol $\mathbb{N}$ and can be denoted as $\mathbb{N}=\left \{ 1,2,3,4, \cdots \right \}$.
  • The set of rational numbers, denoted by the symbol $\mathbb{Q}$, includes any number that is written as a fraction.
  • The set of imaginary numbers, denoted by the symbol $\mathbb{I}$, includes all numbers that result in a negative number when squared.

• Gender

  • By grammatical gender, nouns denoting things or qualities are often Masculine or Feminine, simply by virtue of their signification or the ending of the Nominative Singular.

• Bernoulli distribution

  • Because only 35% of individuals refused to administer the most severe shock, we denote the probability of a success with p = 0.35.
  • The probability of a failure is sometimes denoted with q = 1−p.
  • We may also denote a success by 1 and a failure by 0.
  • Bernoulli random variables are often denoted as 1 for a success and 0 for a failure.

• Functional Groups

  • In the following table the atoms of each functional group are colored red and the characteristic IUPAC nomenclature suffix that denotes some (but not all) functional groups is also colored.

• Obtaining Credit

  • Credit is a term used to denote transactions involving the transfer of money or other property on promise of repayment.
  • Credit, in commerce and finance, is a term used to denote transactions involving the transfer of money or other property on promise of repayment, usually at a fixed future date.
  • A credit default swap represents the price at which two parties exchange this risk – the protection "seller" takes the risk of default of the credit in return for a payment, commonly denoted in basis points (one basis point is 1/100 of a percent) of the notional amount to be referenced, while the protection "buyer" pays this premium and in the case of default of the underlying (a loan, bond or other receivable), delivers this receivable to the protection seller and receives from the seller the par amount (that is, is made whole)
  • Credit, in commerce and finance, is a term used to denote transactions involving the transfer of money or other property on promise of repayment, usually at a fixed future date.

• Relative Velocity

  • Relative velocity is the velocity of an object B measured with respect to the velocity of another object A, denoted as $v_{BA}$.
  • This is denoted as $v_{AB}$, where A is the velocity in the rest frame of B.
