Topic: Ordered pair


  
  Ordered pair
An ordered pair is a collection of two objects such that one can be distinguished as the first element and the other as the second element.
An ordered pair with first element a and second element b is usually written as (a, b).
Ordered triples and n-tuples (ordered lists of n terms) are defined recursively from this definition: an ordered triple (a,b,c) can be defined as (a, (b,c)): two nested pairs.

 Ordered pair - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, an ordered pair is a collection of two objects such that one can be distinguished as the first element and the other as the second element (the first and second elements are also known as left and right projections).
An ordered pair with first element a and second element b is often written as (a, b).
In type theory, and in set theories such as New Foundations that are outgrowths of type theory, this pair is of the same type as its projections (and hence is termed a "type-level" ordered pair).

 Binary Relation
Relation, a mathematical concept, is a set of ordered pairs.
One interprets a relation as a relationship (in the quotidian parlance) from the first coordinate to the second coordinate of the ordered pair.
Consequently, every element in I is an ordered pair that has the same first and second component and every element in X forms such an ordered pair in I. In symbols, I = {(x, x) : for all x in X}.

Don't forget to include among the ordered pairs ones that have 0 as the first component (no sideways movement, so the point is on the vertical axis) and 0 as the second component (no vertical movement, so the point is on the horizontal axis).
That is, either the Hider corrects the ordered pair written on the board and announces the corrected location of the object or the Seeker uses the information provided by the ordered pair to correctly locate the node at which the object is hidden.
Then the Seeker goes to the location indicated by the ordered pair, finds the object, and returns the object to the container of objects (or keeps the object if the teacher is giving the objects away this day).

Pairs skating involves a woman and man performing single figure skating moves (such as step sequences, jumps and spins) side by side and in unison AND specific pairs movements.
In figure skating shows, pairs skaters may perform dramatic and dangerous moves which which are banned at the Olympics, Worlds, U.S. Nationals and other competitions - such as the headbanger (the man swinging the woman by her legs) or the Detroiter (man lifting her by her legs while spinning).

This project consists in a programming application that is able to read a text and to calculate in real time the number of times each pair of letters appears in a given text.
For each new given pair of letters found in the text, the program generates a new bubble.

These ordered pairs contain the corresponding x and y-values that make the equation a true statement.
When the solutions of these equations, the ordered pairs, are graphed, these points form a straight line.
As you move the cursor on the line using the left or right arrows, the x and y coordinates of each point are displayed at the bottom of the graph.

Definitions: A removable pair of elements in a partially ordered set P is a pair {x,y} such that removing x and y does not drop the dimension of the poset by more than one.
A minimal element and maximal element that are incomparable form a removable pair.
Trotter and Bogart [TB1] posed a stronger conjecture that every unforced pair is a removable pair, but Reuter [R] found a counterexample in dimension 4.

 Set Theory > Basic Set Theory (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
For many applications, we need to pair a and b in a way making possible to “read off” which set comes “first” and which comes “second.” We denote this ordered pair of a and b by (a, b); a is the first coordinate of the pair (a, b), b is the second coordinate.
It should be defined in such a way that two ordered pairs are equal if and only if their first coordinates are equal and their second coordinates are equal.
A binary relation is determined by specifying all ordered pairs of objects in that relation; it does not matter by what property the set of these ordered pairs is described.

Draw a line through the columns of any other ordered pairs in R where the first element is equal to the second element of the first ordered pair.
Where the lines intersect, the ordered pairs must all be in R, for the relation to be transitive.
When these four conditions hold, then relation R is a PARTIAL ORDERING of set S. It defines ordered pairs for part of the elements of set S, but not all of them.

However, a tuple in database theory is usually defined as a finite function that maps fields in a relation(database table for instance) to data, and is not necessarily an ordered set of n elements.
then the ordered pair (a,b) is a function f with f(1) = a and f(2) = b, so there are two "copies" of a, one taken first and one taken second.
to say that when both elements of the pair are equal, one does not need to designate one as first is different from saying there are two elements, one first one second, and both are equal.

These reduced terms may be viewed as arising from so-called ``contractions'' between operator pairs.
That is, the contraction between the operators is simply the original ordering of the pair minus the normal-ordered pair.
The evaluation of the pairwise contractions may introduce sign changes because the string of operators must be permuted to bring the pair together before the contraction may be evaluated.
