Greek in the Knowledge Book

Some of the ideas presented in The Knowledge Book uses Greek terminology, largely in a mathematical sense. This page is dedicated to an understanding of how Greek is used in America and in The Knowledge Book. This may help the understanding of those that read pages on the site or The Knowledge Book itself. Peace to you and yours, marie michael gabriel raphael.

Delta

a high amplitude electrical rhythm of the brain with a frequency of less than 6 cycles per second that occurs especially in deep sleep, in infancy, and in many diseased conditions of the brain

Alpha

an electrical rhythm of the brain with a frequency of 8 to 13 cycles per second that is often associated with a state of wakeful relaxation

Beta

an electrical rhythm of the brain with a frequency of 13 to 30 cycles per second that is associated with normal conscious waking experience

Phi phenomenon

apparent motion resulting from an orderly sequence of stimuli (as lights flashed in rapid succession a short distance apart on a sign) without any actual motion being presented to the eye (how we see spiritual beings)

Gamma

a unit of magnetic flux density equal to one nanotesla; MICROGRAM; Gamma

Theta rhythm

a relatively high amplitude brain wave pattern between approximately 4 and 9 hertz that is characteristic especially of the hippocampus but occurs in many regions of the brain including the cortex

Iota

an infinitesimal amount : JOT

Zeta function

Distribution of primes
The Euler product formula expresses the zeta function as a product over the primes, and consequently provides a link between the analytic properties of the zeta function and the distribution of primes in the integers. As the simplest possible illustration of this link, we show how the properties of the zeta function can be used to prove that there are infinitely many primes. Zeta Function

Kappa

When two binary variables are attempts by two individuals to measure the same thing, you can use Kappa as a measure of agreement between the two individuals.

Kappa measures the percentage of data values in the main diagonal of the table and then adjusts these values for the amount of agreement that could be expected due to chance alone. Kappa

Lambda

an uncharged unstable elementary particle that has a mass 2183 times that of an electron and that decays typically into a nucleon and a pion

Memory unit. Usually a printed circuit board assembly populated with memory chips that stores a certain quantity of memory. The lowercase Greek letter mu (?) is used to represent the prefix multiplier 0.000001 (10 to the minus sixth or one millionth).

Larger lunar evectional constituent. Speed = 2T - 3s + 4h - p = 28.512,583,1° per solar hour

the ratio of the circumference to the diameter of a circle

Rho

The rate of change in a derivative's price relative to the underlying security's risk-free interest rate. A DNA sequence signaling the termination of transcription; termination requires the presence of the rho protein.

Sigma

STANDARD DEVIATION; statistics

Tau

a short-lived elementary particle of the lepton family that exists in positive and negative charge states and has a mass about 3500 times heavier than an electron
called also tau particle

Upsilon

any of a group of unstable electrically neutral elementary particles of the meson family that have a mass about 10 times that of a proton

Chi
chi square - a statistic that is a sum of terms each of which is a quotient obtained by dividing the square of the difference between the observed and theoretical values of a quantity by the theoretical value
chi square ditribution - a probability density function that gives the distribution of the sum of the squares of a number of independent random variables each with a normal distribution with zero mean and unit variance, that has the property that the sum of two or more random variables with such a distribution also has one, and that is widely used in testing statistical hypotheses especially about the theoretical and observed values of a quantity and about population variances and standard deviations

Psi

J/psi - an unstable neutral fundamental particle of the meson group that has a mass about 6000 times the mass of an electron
called also J particle, psi particle

Omega

a negatively charged elementary particle that has a mass 3270 times the mass of an electron
called also omega minus b : a very short-lived unstable meson with mass 1532 times the mass of an electron
called also omega meson (after Omega, infinity or long-lived)

Alpha and Omega

last ending; the principle element
