Linear equations are so-called, because when they are plotted, they describe a straight line ( hence linear ).

Linear search is usually very simple to implement, and is practical when the list has only a few elements, or when performing a single search in an unordered list.

Linear algebra first took its modern form in the first half of the twentieth century, when many ideas and methods of previous centuries were generalized as abstract algebra.

Linear methods can also be applied, but the engineer must manually specify the interactions when using them.

The cataloguing project began in 1872 when Benjamin Peirce first published his Linear Associative Algebra, and was carried forward by his son Charles Sanders Peirce.

Linear taper potentiometers are used when the division ratio of the potentiometer must be proportional to the angle of shaft rotation ( or slider position ), for example, controls used for adjusting the centering of an analog cathode-ray oscilloscope.

* SLR (" Shimano Linear Response ")-Integration of a return spring into the brake lever, pushing the brake cable back when the lever is released.

Linear polarising filters, while effective, can interfere with metering and auto-focus mechanisms when mirrors or beam-splitters are in the light path, as in the digital single lens reflex camera ; a circular polarizer is also effective, and does not affect metering or auto-focus.

Linear extrapolation will only provide good results when used to extend the graph of an approximately linear function or not too far beyond the known data.

Linear is the opposite, when narrative runs smoothly in a straight line, when it is not broken up.

Linear viscoelasticity is when the function is separable in both creep response and load.

Linear then reveals that she is, indeed, the Evolutia when she revives Mag and sprouts wings so as to carry him away from the battleship.

When she first arrived Linear was afraid of everything around her, when Mag gave her an Ocarina she slowly started to feel safer.

Linear is brought out of a trance that Yurka put her in by Mag when he plays the Ocarina he gave her.

The album material included collaborations with singers Carl Thomas, Shirley Caesar and the Mary Mary duo, taking the singer's work further into urban contemporary gospel and Christian music .< ref > Music World Entertainment ( 2002 ) < u > Michelle Williams-Heart to Yours ( Linear Notes )</ u > Columbia Records .</ ref > " Some people will do gospel when their career fails, but I chose to do it at the height of the popularity of Destiny's Child ," Williams explained during the album's release.

Linear speedup or ideal speedup is obtained when.

Despite the Linear Men's policy of non-intervention in the timeline-to the point that the previously actively-interfering Waverider was discouraged from preventing Superman's death during his first battle with Doomsday-Waverider came to Superman's aid when he discovered that Doomsday had returned to life and was now working with the Cyborg Superman.

Linear transformations from F < sup > n </ sup > to F < sup > m </ sup > may then be written as m × n matrices which act on the elements of F < sup > n </ sup > via left multiplication ( when the elements of F < sup > n </ sup > are column vectors ) or right multiplication ( when they are row vectors ).

Linear motors were a major area of research since the 1960s when they were first introduced in the U. K. by Eric Laithwaite.

Linear screw actuators can have a static loading capacity, meaning that when the motor stops the actuator essentially locks in place and can support a load that is either pulling or pushing on the actuator.

At a time when many different styles of eskrima abounded, Saavedra ’ s was called the Corto Linear, although he was known to have mastered other styles.

The Proto-Sinatic or Proto Canaanite script and the Ugaritic script were the first scripts with limited number of signs, in contrast to the other widely used writing systems at the time, Cuneiform, Egyptian hieroglyphs, and Linear B.

These show a number of systems of script employing either ideograms or syllabograms ( see Linear B ).

Linear Diophantine equations take the form ax + by = c. If c is the greatest common divisor of a and b then this is Bézout's identity, and the equation has an infinite number of solutions.

Linear circuits, that is, circuits with the same input and output frequency, can be analyzed by hand using complex number theory.

Owens based this assertion on the perceived Indo-European but non-Greek roots of a small number of words he was able to read by using the known Linear B or Cypriot sound values of certain Linear A signs.

Apart from these, there are a considerable number of proper names and related elements occurring both in Linear A and Linear B namely in the Mycenaean texts from Knossos.

Linear menus are most suited for dynamic, large menus that have many possible options, without any logical grouping, since pie menus can only show a limited number of menu items.

A Linear Congruential Generator ( LCG ) represents one of the oldest and best-known pseudorandom number generator algorithms.

Integrated circuits analog multipliers are incorporated into many applications, such as a true RMS converter, but a number of general purpose analog multiplier building blocks are available such as the Linear Four Quadrant Multiplier.

At some point in his career there, he developed the Linear congruential generator ( pseudorandom number generator ), which is frequently referred to as a Lehmer random number generator.

Linear least squares problems are convex and have a closed-form solution that is unique, provided that the number of data-points used for fitting equals or exceeds the number of unknown parameters, except in special degenerate situations.

The Swedish Linear Formation had more matchlocks and fewer pikemen than the Imperial tercio ; overall, the Unionists fielded about the same number of matchlocks as Imperial troops.

Linear graben, grooves, and crater chains dominate this region, along with a number of flat-topped mesas.

Analog Devices was named number two with other suppliers including: Texas Instruments, National Semiconductor, Maxim Integrated Products, Linear Technology.

The tablets contain a number of important terms previously unattested in Linear B, such as ra-ke-da-mi-ni-jo / Lakedaimnijos / " a man from Lacedaemonia ( Sparta )", or ma-ka / Mā Gā / " Mother Gaia " ( a goddess still revered in Thebes in the 5th century BC, as reported e. g. in Aeschylus ' Seven Against Thebes ).

The album saw her generally re-teaming with the majority of the producers and songwriters from her previous effort, also including Solange Knowles, Dawkins & Dawkins, and brother Erron Williams .< ref name =" Liner notes "> Music World Entertainment ( 2004 ) < u > Michelle Williams-Do You Know ( Linear Notes )</ u > Columbia Records .</ ref > However, released on January 26, 2004 in the United States, Do You Know reached a disappointing number one-hundred-and-twenty on the Billboard 200 chart, selling 10, 000 copies in its first week despite warm reception from critics who lent praise to Williams ' songwriting ability.

* Linear congruential generator, in mathematics, a type of pseudorandom number generator algorithm

Illustrative of Cypro-Canaanite trade especially is a fragmentary amphora handle 5 / 29277, clearly inscribed after firing with Sign 38 of the Cypro-Minoan Linear Script and Goren 2004.

Linear dynamics pertains to objects moving in a line and involves such quantities as force, mass / inertia, displacement ( in units of distance ), velocity ( distance per unit time ), acceleration ( distance per unit of time squared ) and momentum ( mass times unit of velocity ).
