If the circumstances are faced frankly it is not reasonable to expect this to be true.

If his dancers are sometimes made to look as if they might be creatures from Mars, this is consistent with his intention of placing them in the orbit of another world, a world in which they are freed of their pedestrian identities.

If a work is divided into several large segments, a last-minute drawing of random numbers may determine the order of the segments for any particular performance.

If they avoid the use of the pungent, outlawed four-letter word it is because it is taboo ; ;

If Wilhelm Reich is the Moses who has led them out of the Egypt of sexual slavery, Dylan Thomas is the poet who offers them the Dionysian dialectic of justification for their indulgence in liquor, marijuana, sex, and jazz.

If he is the child of nothingness, if he is the predestined victim of an age of atomic wars, then he will consult only his own organic needs and go beyond good and evil.

If it is an honest feeling, then why should she not yield to it??

If he thus achieves a lyrical, dreamlike, drugged intensity, he pays the price for his indulgence by producing work -- Allen Ginsberg's `` Howl '' is a striking example of this tendency -- that is disoriented, Dionysian but without depth and without Apollonian control.

If love reflects the nature of man, as Ortega Y Gasset believes, if the person in love betrays decisively what he is by his behavior in love, then the writers of the beat generation are creating a new literary genre.

If he is good, he may not be legal ; ;

If the man on the sidewalk is surprised at this question, it has served as an exclamation.

If the existent form is to be retained new factors that reinforce it must be introduced into the situation.

If we remove ourselves for a moment from our time and our infatuation with mental disease, isn't there something absurd about a hero in a novel who is defeated by his infantile neurosis??

If many of the characters in contemporary novels appear to be the bloodless relations of characters in a case history it is because the novelist is often forgetful today that those things that we call character manifest themselves in surface behavior, that the ego is still the executive agency of personality, and that all we know of personality must be discerned through the ego.

If he is a traditionalist, he is an eclectic traditionalist.

If our sincerity is granted, and it is granted, the discrepancy can only be explained by the fact that we have come to believe hearsay and legend about ourselves in preference to an understanding gained by earnest self-examination.

If to be innocent is to be helpless, then I had been -- as are we all -- helpless at the start.

If, in preparing that shot for the inevitable showing to your friends, you interrupt the sequence to paste in a few frames of the child's grandmother watching this event, you have begun to be an artist in film ; ;

If the method is applied to an infinite sequence ( X < sub > i </ sub >: i ∈ ω ) of nonempty sets, a function is obtained at each finite stage, but there is no stage at which a choice function for the entire family is constructed, and no " limiting " choice function can be constructed, in general, in ZF without the axiom of choice.

If the mutated sequence is present in the patient's genome, the probe will bind to it and flag the mutation.

If the convention B < sub > 1 </ sub >=− is used, this sequence is also known as the first Bernoulli numbers ( / in OEIS ); with the convention B < sub > 1 </ sub >=+ is known as the second Bernoulli numbers ( / in OEIS ).

If a cabal can be implicated in a sequence of events, there is always the hope, however tenuous, of being able to break the cabal's power – or joining it and exercising some of that power oneself.

* If is the norm ( usually noted as ) defined in the square-summable sequence space ℓ < sup > 2 </ sup > ( which also matches the usual distance in a continuous and isotropic cartesian space ), then

* If is the norm ( usually noted as ) defined in the sequence space ℓ < sup >∞</ sup > of all bounded sequences ( which also matches the non-linear distance measured as the maximum of distances measured on projections into the base subspaces, without requiring the space to be isotropic or even just linear, but only continuous, such norm being definable on all Banach spaces ), and is lower triangular non-singular ( i. e., ) then

This is a Cauchy sequence of rational numbers, but it does not converge towards any rational limit: If the sequence did have a limit x, then necessarily x < sup > 2 </ sup > = 2, yet no rational number has this property.

If the expression that defines the DFT is evaluated for all integers k instead of just for, then the resulting infinite sequence is a periodic extension of the DFT, periodic with period N.

If so, it is unclear how much Tatian may have borrowed from this previous author in determining his own narrative sequence of Gospel elements.

If shots are taken out of sequence, as is often the case, he will be alert to make sure that that beer glass is in the appropriate state.

) If a set is finite, its elements may be written as a sequence:

If the DNA sequence at a particular locus varies between individuals, the different forms of this sequence are called alleles.

If an equation can be put into the form f ( x ) = x, and a solution x is an attractive fixed point of the function f, then one may begin with a point x < sub > 1 </ sub > in the basin of attraction of x, and let x < sub > n + 1 </ sub > = f ( x < sub > n </ sub >) for n ≥ 1, and the sequence

If there were a single intron within this sequence, it would look something like this:

A measure μ is countably subadditive: If E < sub > 1 </ sub >, E < sub > 2 </ sub >, E < sub > 3 </ sub >, … is a countable sequence of sets in Σ, not necessarily disjoint, then

If there are four alternative symbols ( corresponding to a musical instrument that can generate four different tones, one at a time ), the first symbol may represent the bit sequence 00, the second 01, the third 10 and the fourth 11.

If an individual coin toss or the roll of dice is considered to be a random event, then if repeated many times the sequence of random events will exhibit certain patterns, which can be studied and predicted.

* « If the same plain text sequence is given to disparate rendering processes, there is no expectation that rendered text in each instance should have the same appearance.

If 10 of those mutants are viable genotypes that may reproduce ( and some of whose offspring or grandchilden may mutate back into AGGT again ), we would consider that sequence a well-connected node in the cloud.

If instead only two of those mutants are viable, the rest being lethal mutations, then that sequence is poorly connected and most of its descendants will not reproduce.

If the mutation rate is zero, there is no exchange by mutation, and each sequence is its own species.

If W is irreducible then each type can, through a sequence of mutations ( i. e. powers of W ) mutate into all the other types.

If competition beats you to it, this exciting new product era can have real headaches in store.

If the photographically realistic continuity of dreams, however bizarre their combinations, denies that it is purely a composition of the brain, it must be compounded from views of diverse realities, although some of them may never be encountered in what we are pleased to call the real life.

I kept saying, `` If I could just build up a reputation for myself, make some real money, get to be well known as an illustrator -- like Peter Askington, for instance -- then I could take some time off and paint ''.

If one quantizes a real scalar field, then one finds that there is only one kind of annihilation operator ; therefore, real scalar fields describe neutral bosons.

Existence is the principle that gives reality to an essence not the same in any way as the existence: " If things having essences are real, and it is not of their essence to be, then the reality of these things must be found in some principle other than ( really distinct from ) their essence.

If X is a Banach space and K is the underlying field ( either the real or the complex numbers ), then K is itself a Banach space ( using the absolute value as norm ) and we can define the continuous dual space as X ′ = B ( X, K ), the space of continuous linear maps into K.

If X is a real Banach space, then the polarization identity is

If A is a self-adjoint operator, then is always a real number ( not complex ).

If the Czech ethnic origin was to be stressed, combinations like " Bohemian of Bohemian language "( Čech českého jazyka ), " a real Bohemian " ( pravý Čech ) etc.

If the exponent r is even, then the inequality is valid for all real numbers x.

If the wave function is regarded as ontologically real, and collapse is entirely rejected, a many worlds theory results.

If wave function collapse is regarded as ontologically real as well, an objective collapse theory is obtained.

If the eigenvalues are all positive, then the frequencies are all real and the stationary point is a local minimum.

If zeal for orthodoxy caused him to overstep the limits of discretion, his real attitude towards Rome is sufficiently clear.

If a simply stable system response neither decays nor grows over time, and has no oscillations, it is marginally stable: in this case the system transfer function has non-repeated poles at complex plane origin ( i. e. their real and complex component is zero in the continuous time case ).

If this limit exists, then it may be computed by taking the limit as h → 0 along the real axis or imaginary axis ; in either case it should give the same result.

If x and y are real numbers, and if the graph of y is plotted against x, the derivative measures the slope of this graph at each point.

If a DBMS system responses users ' request in a given time period, it can be regarded as a real time database.

If the matrix entries are real numbers, the matrix can be used to represent two linear mappings: one that maps the standard basis vectors to the rows of, and one that maps them to the columns of.

If this operation has to be done in real time video games there is an easy trick to boost performance.

* If we think of as the set of real numbers, then the direct product is precisely just the cartesian product,.

* If we think of as the group of real numbers under addition, then the direct product still consists of.

* If we think of as the ring of real numbers, then the direct product again consists of.

The best known example is the ring of quaternions H. If we allow only rational instead of real coefficients in the constructions of the quaternions, we obtain another division ring.
