Discrete symmetry

In mathematics and geometry, a discrete symmetry is a symmetry that describes non-continuous changes in a system. For example, a square possesses discrete rotational symmetry, as only rotations by multiples of right angles will preserve the square's original appearance. Discrete symmetries sometimes involve some type of 'swapping', these swaps usually being called reflections or interchanges. In mathematics and theoretical physics, a discrete symmetry is a symmetry under the transformations of a discrete group—e.g. a topological group with a discrete topology whose elements form a finite or a countable set. One of the most prominent discrete symmetries in physics is parity symmetry. It manifests itself in various elementary physical quantum systems, such as quantum harmonic oscillator, electron orbitals of Hydrogen-like atoms by forcing wavefunctions to be even or odd. This in turn gives rise to selection rules that determine which transition lines are visible in atomic absorption spectra. (Wikipedia).

Maths for Programmers: Introduction (What Is Discrete Mathematics?)

Transcript: In this video, I will be explaining what Discrete Mathematics is, and why it's important for the field of Computer Science and Programming. Discrete Mathematics is a branch of mathematics that deals with discrete or finite sets of elements rather than continuous or infinite s

The formal definition of a sequence.

We have an intuitive picture of sequences (infinite ordered lists). But there is a formal definition of sequences based out of the idea of a specific function between sets, specifically from the positive integers to the real numbers. ►Full DISCRETE MATH Course Playlist: https://www.youtu

Connecting discrete and continuous systems

To have an effect in the real world, discrete systems have to sample sample continuous signals to operate on them and reconstruct their outputs to continuous signals. This video explains this and the problems associated with the z transform

Yang Shi: Normalizer theory of Coxeter groups and discrete integrable systems

Abstract: Formulation of the Painleve equations and their generalisations as birational representations of affine Weyl groups provides us with an elegant and efficient way to study these highly transcendental, nonlinear equations. In particular, it is well-known that discrete evolutions of
