Def+&+desc

Please do this...... Assignment I. Now select 5 definitions from the on-line mathematics dictionary at, [|http://www.math.com/school/glossary/glossindex.html], [], or from any other math glossary or dictionary and copy them. Your job will be to identify:

//algorithm:// //Step-by-step procedure by which an operation can be carried out.//

//area:// //The number of square units needed to cover a surface//

//base depth of the triangular prism// //the perpendicular distance from the base of the triangle to the top of the triangle.//

//congruent// //Two figures are congruent to one another if they have the same size and shape//

//empty set// //The empty set, Ø, is the set that has no member//

a. the term to be defined : algorithm, area, base depth of the triangular prism, congruent , the empty set b. the general class word: procedure, number of square units, the perpendicular distance, size and shape, set c. the characteristics: set of instructions given under a SEQUENCE OR A STEP BY STEP-BASED PATTERN, both size and shape must be the SAME, length measured FROM THE BASE OF THE TRIANGLE TO THE TPO OF IT, THE COINCIDENCE BETWEEN the required amount of square units and the surface being given, NO ELEMENT in the set

absolute value The distance a number is from zero on the number line. For example -5 is 5 units away from zero. It would be written as |-5|

acute angle An angle whose measure is less than 90 degrees

addition The operation, or process, of calculating the sum of two numbers or quantities

additive inverse The number that when added to the original number will result in a sum of zero

adjacent angles

Two angles that share a ray, thereby being directly next to each other

II. __**Using your own words**__, write 1 definition about any mathematical terms. ** vectors **: mathematical objects represented that essencially engulf the most fundamental aspects of euclidean geometry, namely, the metrical-based notions of angle and length, viewed or seen within an axial coordinate system or axis-based coordinate system. they can be represented under the form of an arrow when the axis-based system is either of two or three orthogonal axes, but when the the set of axes is theoretically bigger than three, then vectors are thought of as n-tupples (a,b,c,..........,x,y,z,.....).

[|__http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractal__] 1. There is a definition of fractals there. Please identify it and identify its components. A **fractal** has been defined as //**"a rough or fragmented [|geometric shape] (GENERAL CLASS TERM)**// that can be **//split into parts, each of which is (at least approximately) a reduced-size copy of the whole ( CHARACTERISTICS)//**, "[|[][|1][|]] a property called [|self-similarity].
 * III. In the text you will find when you click the link below, extract the first paragraph and please find all the characteristics of fractals and underline them. Also find the adjectives and circle them.Be careful ! ! ! **

2. There is a description there, please identify it and tell me how you found it. What helped you when locating it.


 * I **** V. Now write a description of any mathematical word or topic. **

As soon as you have all these ready, please paste it in your wiki.
