  Congruence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Congruence, as opposed to equivalence or approximation, is a relation which implies a kind of equivalence, though not complete equivalence.
An alternative definition of congruence in the work of Virginia Satir, one of the sources of NLP, is the balance between self, other and context.
In cladistics, congruence is a test of homology, or shared, derived character states, in which the distributions of supposed homologies among taxa are compared for consistency.

 Alfred North Whitehead: The Concept of Nature: Chapter 6: Congruence   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
The equality of the numerical measures and the congruence of the two segments are not always clearly discriminated, and are lumped together under the term equality.
Thus immediate judgments of congruence are presupposed in measurement, and the process of measurement is merely a procedure to extend the recognition of congruence to cases where these immediate judgments are not available.
Congruence depends on motion, and thereby is generated the connexion between spatial congruence and temporal congruence.

 Congruence Theory Explained--CSD, UC Irvine
This theory may be called "congruence theory." It has been elaborated several times, in numerous ways, since its first statement, but has not changed in essentials.1 I do not want to explain and justify the theory in all its ramifications here; for this, readers can consult the publications cited in the references.
Thus Norway, as it should have, displayed congruence in almost an ideal way for the functioning of democracy: high similarity of authority patterns, the general existence of balanced disparities and of similarly balanced disparities in authority patterns, and a particular mix of democratic and nondemocratic traits that was bound to limit perceptions of dissonance.
Congruence theory implies that new institutions must be designed at least in a way that does not dramatically violate the congruence condition--in other words, that adapts in some degree to the preestablished order.

Congruent Triangles - Triangles whose corresponding angles and sides are all congruent.
SAS - A method for proving congruence or similarity of triangles: if two sides are congruent or proportional and their included angle is congruent to their corresponding parts of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent or similar, respectively.
Similar Triangles - Triangles whose corresponding angles are congruent and whose corresponding sides are proportional.

 Proofs Using Congruence
If all the angles of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding angles of another triangle and the same can be said of the sides, then the triangles are congruent.
But congruence is used for figures, that is sets of points such as: angles, segments, triangles, and circles with the same shape and size.
For example, in proving base angles of an isosceles triangle are congruent, we draw a segment extending from the vertex to the base such that the angles formed are congruent (vertex angle bisector) so that we can use SAS in proving the base angles are congruent.

 Congruence
In Mathematics, if two figures are congruent and you cut one figure out with a pair of scissors, it would fit perfectly on top of the other figure.
When you are looking at congruent figures, be sure to find the sides and the angles that "match up" (are in the same place) in each figure.
In congruent figures, these corresponding parts are also congruent.

 Math 252: Congruence Subgroups
This is the so-called "congruence subgroup problem." According to this MathSciNet review, if p is a prime, then every finite index subgroup of SL [1/p]) is a congruence subgroup, and for any n>2, all finite index subgroups of SL) are congruence subgroups.
This paper by Hsu contains an algorithm to decide if a finite index subgroup is a congruence subgroup, and gives an example of a subgroup of index 12 that it is not a congruence subgroup.
The missing cusps are in bijection with the orbits of the action of the congruence subgroup on P

 Congruence (geometry) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Usually it is sufficient to establish the equality of three corresponding parts and use one of the following results to conclude the congruence of the two triangles.
The shape of a triangle is determined up to congruence by specifying two sides and the angle between them (SAS), two angles and the side between them (ASA) or two angles and an adjacent side (AAS).
It is often said that to remember that the "SSA" does not work, all you have to do is spell it backward.

 AMCA: Congruence-preserving extensions of lattices by E. Tamas Schmidt
If L is a sublattice of K, we call K an extension of L. If K is an extension of L, \Theta is a congruence of L, and \phi is a congruence of K, then \Phi is an extension of \Theta to K iff the restriction of \Phi to L equals \Theta.
A lattice L is sectionally complemented if for every b >= a in L, there is an element c that is the complement of a in the interval [0, b].
