A polygon is traditionally a plane figure that is bounded by a closed path, composed of a finite sequence of straight line segments ( i. e., by a closed polygonal chain ).

Mathematicians are often concerned only with the closed polygonal chain and with simple polygons which do not self-intersect, and may define a polygon accordingly.

And to do this requires first of all the kind of information about people which is provided by the scientists in industrial anthropology and consumer research, who, for example, tell Courtenay that three days is the `` optimum priming period for a closed social circuit to be triggered with a catalytic cue-phrase '' -- which means that an effective propaganda technique is to send an idea into circulation and then three days later reinforce or undermine it.

this is really a deficiency in the scalar field, namely, that it is not algebraically closed.

From these results, one sees that the study of linear operators on vector spaces over an algebraically closed field is essentially reduced to the study of nilpotent operators.

Consider a simple, closed, plane curve C which is a real-analytic image of the unit circle, and which is given by Af.

This theorem is similar to the theorem of Kakutani that there exists a circumscribing cube around any closed, bounded convex set in Af.

This circumstance in the patient's case plus the fact that his tactual capacity remained basically in sound working order constitutes its exceptional value for the problem at hand since the evidence presented by the authors is overwhelming that, when the patient closed his eyes, he had absolutely no spatial ( that is, third-dimensional ) awareness whatsoever.

Therefore, if the sense of touch is functioning normally and there is a complete absence of spatial awareness in a psychically-blind person when the eyes are closed and an object is handled, the conclusion seems unavoidable that touch by itself cannot focus and take possession of the third-dimensionality of things and that actual sight or visual representations are necessary.

As `` a matter of fact no such complete solution of the dream has ever been accomplished in any case,, and what is more, every one attempting such solution has found that in most cases there have remained a great many components of the dream the source of which he has been unable to explain nor is the discussion closed on the subject of the mantic or prophetic power of dreams ''.

In fact, it is the smallest algebraically closed field containing the rationals, and is therefore called the algebraic closure of the rationals.

A field with no proper algebraic extensions is called algebraically closed.

Every field has an algebraic extension which is algebraically closed ( called its algebraic closure ), but proving this in general requires some form of the axiom of choice.

Because the result of performing the operation on a pair of elements of S is again an element of S, the operation is called a closed binary operation on S ( or sometimes expressed as having the property of closure ).

Insects and some mollusks use a fluid called hemolymph instead of blood, the difference being that hemolymph is not contained in a closed circulatory system.

Since a maximal ideal in A is closed, is a Banach algebra that is a field, and it follows from the Gelfand-Mazur theorem that there is a bijection between the set of all maximal ideals of A and the set Δ ( A ) of all nonzero homomorphisms from A to C. The set Δ ( A ) is called the " structure space " or " character space " of A, and its members " characters.

In modern day Italian, this term designates a bordello ( also called " casa chiusa ", literally " closed house "), while the gambling house is spelled casinò with an accent.

A computation can be seen as a purely physical phenomenon occurring inside a closed physical system called a computer.

A subset of Euclidean space in particular is called compact if it is closed and bounded.

The subgroup of generated by all commutators is called the derived group or the commutator subgroup of G. Note that one must consider the subgroup generated by the set of commutators because in general the set of commutators is not closed under the group operation.

Connection occurs in both open and closed dance positions ( also called " open frame " and " closed frame ").

Tekla Johnson has called these closed, hierarchical social stratification as castes.

She notes that this was a closed system, with negligible social mobility, and this severely affected the self identity of the so called dishonourable people.

Celia Heller has called the rigid social segregation and status of Jewish people from Middle Ages through early 20th century in Poland as a closed caste system.
