Glossary of field theoryField theory is the branch of mathematics in which fields are studied. This is a glossary of some terms of the subject. (See field theory (physics) for the unrelated field theories in physics.) A field is a commutative ring (F,+,*) in which 0≠1 and every nonzero element has a multiplicative inverse. In a field we thus can perform the operations addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. The non-zero elements of a field F form an abelian group under multiplication; this group is typically denoted by F×; The ring of polynomials in the variable x with coefficients in F is denoted by F[x].
Wireless mesh networkA wireless mesh network (WMN) is a communications network made up of radio nodes organized in a mesh topology. It can also be a form of wireless ad hoc network. A mesh refers to rich interconnection among devices or nodes. Wireless mesh networks often consist of mesh clients, mesh routers and gateways. Mobility of nodes is less frequent. If nodes constantly or frequently move, the mesh spends more time updating routes than delivering data.
Henri PoincaréHenri Poincaré est un mathématicien, physicien théoricien et philosophe des sciences français, né le à Nancy et mort le à Paris. Poincaré a réalisé des travaux d'importance majeure en optique et en calcul infinitésimal. Ses avancées sur le problème des trois corps en font un fondateur de l'étude qualitative des systèmes d'équations différentielles et de la théorie du chaos ; il est aussi un précurseur majeur de la théorie de la relativité restreinte et de la théorie des systèmes dynamiques.
