| Acyclic graph |
A graph without a cycle. |
| Adjacency |
The adjacent side is the remaining side of a right triangle; it forms the side of both angles of interest. |
| Birth |
The first and direst of all the disasters, emblematic of the facts of coming to life, the nature of which appears to be no uniformity. |
| Build |
To erect or construct as an edifice or fabric of any kind; to form by uniting materials into a regular structure; to fabricate. |
| Co-Secant |
The reciprocal of the sine; it gives the ratio of the hypotenuse to the length of the opposite side. |
| Computational Complexity |
The amount of resources an algorithm requires to run, determined by time (how long it takes) and space (storage it requires). |
| Cosine |
The ratio of the length of the adjacent leg to that of the hypotenuse. |
| Cycle |
When it is possible to start from a node in a graph, traverse edges, and come back to the node’s starting point. |
| Degree |
The number of edges adjacent to a node. |
| Destroy |
To un-build; to pull or tear down; to separate into its constituent parts; to break up the structure and organic existence of; to demolish. |
| Equality |
The exact agreement between two expressions or magnitude. |
| Foundations of Increase |
If you add something many times you multiply it. If you multiply something many times you raise it to power or exponentiate it. |
| Freedom |
The exemption from the power and control of another. |
| Frequency |
Events over seconds; reveals the required hertz. |
| Governance |
To bring conformity with rules, principles or usage. |
| Gradian |
A unit of angle measurement where 100 gradians is equal to 90 degrees. A gradian represents 1 out of 400 repetitions. |
| Greedy Algorithm |
An algorithm that attempts to solve a problem by finding the best solution at each stage. |
| Harlot |
Emblematic of a person given to low conduct; a rogue, a cheat, a rascal. |
| Hypotenuse |
The opposite side of the right angle. |
| Joy |
The passion of emotion exalted by the expectation of good. |
| Knowledge |
Clear perception of fact, truth or duty; certain apprehension; familiar cognizance and cognition. |
| Linked List |
A data structure where each item contains its payload data and the memory location of the next item on the list. |
| List |
A data structure that contains a group of things in such a way that from one item we can find the next one. |
| Logarithm |
Answers the question, "To which Power should I raise a number to get the value I want." |
| Node |
The items in a list are called nodes. In graph theory, tasks are nodes. |
| Nourishment |
To feed and cause growth. |
| Onset |
The minimal constant sound, blend or digraph that begins a syllable. |
| Opposite (Side) |
The side opposite to the angle of interest. |
| Optimal Stopping Point |
A strategy found by examining and discarding the square root of options, then selecting the next candidate that surpasses the benchmark set by the discarded group. |
| Orphan |
Emblematic of someone or something who lacks support or care or supervision; also the first line of a paragraph that is set at the last line of a page or column. |
| Part |
A quantity that measures another quantity, but is also a multiple of a quantity that it measures. |
| Path |
A sequence of nodes and edges in a graph. A path that starts and ends at the same node is a tour or circuit. |
| Path Length |
The sum of length along the path. |
| Period |
The interval of time between events; the reciprocal of frequency. |
| Point |
That which arrests attention or indicates quantities or character; a salient feature, a characteristic, a peculiarity, an item, a detail. |
| Pointer |
A place in memory that holds the memory location of another place. |
| Power |
The capability of producing an effect. |
| Radian |
A unit of angle measurement. One radian is equal to 180 degrees over pi; a 90-degree angle is equivalent to one radian and is pi over 2. |
| Refreshment |
To relieve from the fatigue of depression or to refrigerate the passions. |
| Relief |
A pause for relaxation in regards to someone who takes the place of another. |
| Rhythm |
Constituted by accented parts and unaccented or silent parts. |
| Secant |
The reciprocal of a cosine; gives the ratio of the length of the hypotenuse to the adjacent side. |
| Sequential Search |
An algorithm that makes a computer jump from pointer to pointer until it either reaches the item being looked for or null. |
| Sine |
The ratio of the length of the side that is the opposite of an angle to the length of the longest side of the angle (the hypotenuse). |
| Smart Length |
The shortest path between two nodes. |
| Tangent |
The ratio between the opposite and adjacent side. |
| Task |
Tasks are nodes and priorities are links between them. |
| Tour / Circuit |
A path that starts and ends at the same node. |
| Understanding |
The apprehended meaning or the intention of an art, part, and/or point. |
| Unit Circle |
Denotes the radius or central origin. |
| Uncertainty (Statement on) |
No exact algorithm exists when a graph is constructed while solving a problem during its existence. |
| Weight (of a Path) |
A value assigned to an edge. If all weights equal one, the path length equals the number of edges; otherwise, this is not true. |
| Widow |
Represents the deprivation of someone or something who is loved; to strip of anything beloved or highly esteemed; to make desolate or bare; to bereave. |
| Wisdom |
The use of the best means for attending the best ends. |
