	PlanetMath: indeterminate
		An indeterminate is simply a variable that is not known or solvable.
		It is important to distinguish between a variable and an indeterminate in that a variable is solvable, at least conditionally.
		This is version 2 of indeterminate, born on 2004-11-04, modified 2004-11-04.

	Error Analysis
		Indeterminate (random) errors are random fluctuations and cannot be corrected for.
		In any experimental study of cause and effect the aim is to vary one condition at a time (the cause) and to observe the corresponding values of another quantity (the effect), which is suspected of being related to the first.
		Where y is the dependent variable, x is the independent variable, m is the slope of the line, and b is the intercept of the line with the y-axis.

	Indeterminate (variable) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In mathematics, more precisely in algebra, an indeterminate is a quantity that is not known, and cannot be solved for.
		An indeterminate is different from a variable, which is solvable, at least conditionally, from a given equation or set of equations.
		This article incorporates material from indeterminate on PlanetMath, which is licensed under the GFDL.

		The leading indeterminate of an equation is defined as the indeterminate in that equation that is of the highest rank (maximal with respect to the ranking).
		Once an equation is solved for the leading indeterminate, any differentiation of that equation (assuming that the leading indeterminate does not vanish) is also in solved form with respect to its new leading indeterminate (the derivative of the prior leading indeterminate).
		Then, the set of independent variables is sorted based on their occurrence in the dependent variable lists, where the dependent variable lists are considered in the same order in which they are ranked.

	Article - Virginia - SoftSolutions, Inc.
		Indeterminate measurement linearity is measured in the form of interaction effects.
		When indeterminate measurements are taken at a slower rate than the time it takes for process changes to be fully implemented then measurement adequacy is not an issue.
		However, low control variable (used to control the process) to response variable (being measured) correlation can mask the time it appears to take for a process change to be implemented.

	Earliest Known Uses of Some of the Words of Mathematics (I)
		Variation is a general method of expressing proportion often used, and is either direct or inverse.
		Thus the distance a ship goes at a uniform rate, varies directly as the time it sails; which means that the ratio of any two distances is equal to the ratio of the corresponding times taken in the same order.
		Thus, the time in which a piece of work will be done, varies inversely as the number of men employed; which means that the ratio of any two times is equal to the ratio of the numbers of men employed for these times, taken in reverse order.

		The leftmost occurrence of a dummy variable in a rule must be marked with a tilde.
		The left-hand side can be a power of an indeterminate or of a functional form, or the left- hand side can be a product of such powers and/or indeterminates or functional forms.
		The rule does not replace any contained bound variables with their values until the rule is actually used for a replacement.

		A variable diameter of the object Earth is set to 100.
		Therefore, there exists a way to define variables which are not assigned to a particular object.
		These variables are shared among objects and are called class variables (there are also reasons, other than memory space saving, for introducing class variables).

		Describe the various types of loops that can be carried out in an OOED computer language.
		In a For-Next loop, the For statement includes a counter variable; the beginning and ending values for the counter; and the Step value, which is the amount by which the counter variable is increased each time through the loop.
		Indeterminate loops are those for which the number of repetitions is not known in advance.

	Example: Symbolic Algebra
		We will define a polynomial to be a sum of terms, each of which is either a coefficient, a power of the indeterminate, or a product of a coefficient and a power of the indeterminate.
		A coefficient is defined as an algebraic expression that is not dependent upon the indeterminate of the polynomial.
		If the coefficients of the coefficients were themselves polynomials (as might be used to represent polynomials in three variables), the data direction would ensure that the system would follow through another level of recursive calls, and so on through as many levels as the structure of the data dictates.

	Indeterminate Values (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		When a variable is declared, the compiler does not waste valuable processor time initializing the variable with a specific value.
		This means that the variable may contain values from previously executed programs, or even code of a previous program.
		In this case, variables can start with the value they ended with the last time the program was executed.

		However this variable itself was initialized at run-time.
		Whether the value or merely the address of a variable is used in the initialization of a second variable is not an easy thing to determine when an argument is passed by reference or via pointer.
		For example, class X { X( const X &); }; extern X x1; X x2 = x1; X x1 = x2; It is theoretically possible, but unlikely, that the constructor X() is interested only in the address of its argument and not its current value.

		It indicates which indeterminates are to be solved for.
		The order in which the independent variables are specified in this option affects the selection of the leading indeterminate (the indeterminate to be solved for) in an equation.
		If a constraint is required for one of these unknowns, then it is no longer truly arbitrary, but rather restricted, so at least one of the unknowns in the constraint must be a solving variable.

	Creation Functions (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Create the field F of rational functions in 1 indeterminate (consisting of quotients of univariate polynomials) over the integral domain R. The angle bracket notation may be used to assign names to the indeterminates, just as in the case of polynomial rings, e.g.:
		This may be useful in some contexts, but a non-global result is returned by default since one often wishes to have several function fields with the same numbers of variables but with different variable names (and create mappings between them, for example).
		Explicit coercion is always allowed between function fields having the same number of variables (and suitable base rings), whether they are global or not, and the coercion maps the i-variable of one function field to the i-th variable of the other function field.

		There are just too many varied occurrences of the word: time out, behind the times, in the nick of time, and so forth.
		Finally, progressing again up the hierarchy of speculation about multiverses, if there are various logically possible alternatives for the laws of physics, then every such logically possible universe is an actual universe, and we have something very similar to the modal realism of the Princeton philosopher David Lewis.
		R has been changed to a two-argument predicate by adding a "temporal argument." The time variable "t" is treated as a new sort of variable with its own axioms.

	"International Recognition of a Unilaterally Declared Palestinian State: Legal and Policy Dilemmas" by Tal Becker
		But the various formulations share the common premise that independent and sovereign governmental control are the sine qua non of statehood.
		There thus comes a point where the territory of an entity seeking recognition as a sovereign state is so indeterminate that its claim to a "defined territory," required by the criteria of statehood, must be questioned.
		Additionally, the extreme fragmentation of the territory under Palestinian control and the variable nature of the Palestinian Authority's territorial jurisdiction casts doubt over the claim to a defined or fixed territory, as required by the definition of statehood.

	Indeterminate Forms
		Two methods of evaluating indeterminate forms are (1) factoring and (2) division of the numerator and denominator by powers of the variable.
		which is an indeterminate form and is therefore excluded as a possible limit.
		Another indeterminate form is often met when we try to find the limit of a function as the independent variable approaches infinity.

		It is proved that the mapping is injective, and thus that the parameters of the mixture may be recovered from the values of the moments.
		Using that framework, a new algorithm is presented, which is optimal in terms of memory usage and as fast as both Collins and Akritas' algorithm and Krandick variant, independently of the input polynomial.
		Unfortunately, due to the use of various tricks for keeping a good theoretical complexity (sum of squares, infinitesimal deformations, etc.), straightforward implementations of these algorithms are inefficient.
