Accordingly, ionized and unionized can be substituted in the above equations in order to calculate the amount of ionization or unionization at a particular pH value.

Word: Betti number Part of Speech: noun Etymology: A calque of French nombre de Betti, coined in 1892 by Henri Poincaré; named after Italian mathematician Enrico Betti in recognition of an 1871 paper. 1. Any of a sequence of numbers, denoted bₙ, which characterise a given topological space K by giving, for each dimension, the number of holes in K of said dimension; (formally) the rank of the nth homology group, Hₙ, of K. Example: Poincaré proved that Betti numbers are invariants and used them to extend Euler's polyhedral formula to higher dimensional spaces. Example: 1979 [W. H. Freeman & Company], Michael Henle, A Combinatorial Introduction to Topology, 1994, Dover, page 163, Prove that, for compact surfaces, the zeroth Betti number is the number of components of the surface, where a component is a connected subset of the surface, such that any larger containing subset is not connected.
Word: homotopy Part of Speech: noun Etymology: From Ancient Greek ὁμός (homós, “same, similar”) + τόπος (tópos, “place”); earliest known use in print in 1922, Oswald Veblen, Analysis Situs.

Labels: countable, uncountable Example: The concept of homotopy represents a formalisation of the intuitive idea of a smooth deformation of one curve into another. Example: An integer M is called an exponent for the torsion of an abelian group G if M * (torsion of G) = 0. We say that M is a homotopy exponent for a space X if M is an exponent for πₖ (X) for all k. 2. The relationship between two continuous functions where homotopy from one to the other is evident. Labels: uncountable 3. Ellipsis of homotopy theory (“the systematic study of homotopies and their equivalence classes”). Labels: abbreviation, alt-of, countable, ellipsis, informal, uncountable 4. A theory associating a system of groups with each topological space. Labels: countable, uncountable 5. A system of groups associated with a topological space. Labels: countable, uncountable
Word: fiber bundle Part of Speech: noun Etymology: (mathematics): Coined as fibre bundle by American mathematician Norman Steenrod in 1951, The Topology of Fibre Bundles. The related usages fiber and fiber space probably derive (as calques respectively of German Faser and gefaserter Räume) from 1933, Herbert Seifert, “Topologie dreidimensionaler gefaserter Räume,” Acta Mathematica, 60, (1933), 147-238. 1. Synonym of vascular bundle. 2. An abstract object in topology where copies of one object are "attached" to every point of another, as hairs or fibers are attached to a hairbrush. Formally, a topological space E (called the total space), together with a topological space B (called the base space), a topological space F (called the fiber), and surjective map π from E to B (called the projection or submersion), such that every point of B has a neighborhood U with π⁻¹(U) homeomorphic to the product space U × F (that is, E looks locally the same as the product space B × F, although its global structure may be quite different). Labels: US Example: A Möbius strip is a fiber bundle which looks locally (i.e., over a connected proper subset of its base space) like the corresponding part of a cylinder S¹#92;times#91;0,1#93; (a Möbius strip and a cylinder have isomorphic base spaces). A Klein bottle is a fiber bundle which looks locally like the corresponding part of a torus S¹#92;timesS¹ (again they could be thought of as sharing the same base space S¹; cutting out even a single point of that base space makes the cut Klein bottle isomorphic to the cut torus). Example: In general, a fiber bundle consists of a set of mutually disjoint fibers “over” a base space, which indexes the fibers; there is a copy of some fiber on top of, or projecting (“canonically”) onto each point of the base space.

Pronunciation: /ˈkeɪsmeɪt/ 1.
