Rational mapping — In mathematics, in particular the subfield of algebraic geometry, a rational map is a kind of partial function between algebraic varieties. In this article we use the convention that varieties are irreducible.DefinitionA first attemptSuppose we… … Wikipedia
Mapping class group — In mathematics, in the sub field of geometric topology, the mapping class group is an important algebraic invariant of a topological space. Briefly, the mapping class group is a discrete group of symmetries of the space. Contents 1 Motivation 2… … Wikipedia
Rational normal curve — In mathematics, the rational normal curve is a smooth, rational curve C of degree n in projective n space mathbb{P}^n. It is a simple example of a projective variety. The twisted cubic is the special case of n =3.DefinitionThe rational normal… … Wikipedia
Rational choice theory (criminology) — In criminology, the Rational Choice Theory adopts a Utilitarian belief that man is a reasoning actor who weighs means and ends, costs and benefits, and makes a rational choice.In democratic countries, like that of the United States or United… … Wikipedia
Rational variety — In mathematics, a rational variety is an algebraic variety, over a given field K, which is birationally equivalent to projective space of some dimension over K. This is a question on its function field: is it up to isomorphism the field of all… … Wikipedia
