En mathématiques et particulièrement en algèbre linéaire, un système d'équations linéaires est un système d'équations constitué d'équations linéaires qui portent sur les mêmes inconnues. Par exemple : Le problème est de trouver les valeurs des inconnues , et qui satisfassent les trois équations simultanément. La résolution des systèmes d'équations linéaires appartient aux problèmes les plus anciens dans les mathématiques et ceux-ci apparaissent dans beaucoup de domaines, comme en traitement numérique du signal, en optimisation linéaire, ou dans l'approximation de problèmes non linéaires en analyse numérique.
En psychologie sociale, le test d'association implicite ou TAI (ou implicit-association test abrégé IAT) est une méthode permettant d'étudier les associations d'idées automatiques, souvent inconscientes et présentes dans la mémoire implicites. Introduite en 1998 par , elle est notamment utilisée pour mesurer les stéréotypes racistes ou sexistes d'un individu et vise à expliquer et théoriser des phénomènes psychiques ou comportementaux causés tout ou partie par de telles associations.
Implicit attitudes are evaluations that occur without conscious awareness towards an attitude object or the self. These evaluations are generally either favorable or unfavorable and come about from various influences in the individual experience. The commonly used definition of implicit attitude within cognitive and social psychology comes from Anthony Greenwald and Mahzarin Banaji's template for definitions of terms related to implicit cognition: "Implicit attitudes are introspectively unidentified (or inaccurately identified) traces of past experience that mediate favorable or unfavorable feeling, thought, or action toward social objects".
In differential calculus, there is no single uniform notation for differentiation. Instead, various notations for the derivative of a function or variable have been proposed by various mathematicians. The usefulness of each notation varies with the context, and it is sometimes advantageous to use more than one notation in a given context. The most common notations for differentiation (and its opposite operation, the antidifferentiation or indefinite integration) are listed below.
In property law, title is an intangible construct representing a bundle of rights in (to) a piece of property in which a party may own either a legal interest or equitable interest. The rights in the bundle may be separated and held by different parties. It may also refer to a formal document, such as a deed, that serves as evidence of ownership. Conveyance of the document (transfer of title to the property) may be required in order to transfer ownership in the property to another person.
Torrens title is a land registration and land transfer system, in which a state creates and maintains a register of land holdings, which serves as the conclusive evidence (termed "indefeasibility") of title of the person recorded on the register as the proprietor (owner), and of all other interests recorded on the register. Ownership of land is transferred by registration of a transfer of title, instead of by the use of deeds. The Registrar provides a Certificate of Title to the new proprietor, which is merely a copy of the related folio of the register.
