Dans les observations d’un réseau géodésique, le nombre des équations est souvent supérieur à celui des inconnues. Par suite des erreurs d’observation, la figure constituée n’ est pas géométrique; aussi le problème se pose de rechercher un système de corrections à apporter aux quantités observées pour définir un réseau géométrique. Cette condition se traduit par l'existence d’un certain nombre d’équations qui doivent être rigoureusement satisfaites. Ces équations portent le nom d’équations de "condition" ou "équations conditionnelles". 1, record 2, French, - %C3%A9quation%20de%20condition

Le diol cis est symétrique par rapport au plan perpendiculaire à la liaison p, une syn addition conserve cette symétrie. Le produit obtenu aura donc une symétrie plane dans au moins une de ses configurations, donc sera un composé méso. Comme c'est le thréo(dl) qui est désiré, il faut faire une anti addition. La synthèse dont le bilan est, du point de vue géométrique, convenable, est la suite : 1-formation de l'époxyde(oxacyclopropane) par action d’un peracide, 2-ouverture de l'époxyde par l'eau avec une catalyse basique, ou acide.

Mandelbrot began by iterating a simple algebraic expression on a computer. This sent him on a voyage into the infinite two-dimensional sheet of numbers called the complex plane. The particular set of complex numbers Mandelbrot explored in this plane has since come to be named the "Mandelbrot set" and dubbed "the most complex object in mathematics." Mandelbrot remains enthusiastic about what he found. "This set is an astonishing combination of utter simplicity and mind-boggling complication. At first sight it is a 'molecule' made of bonded 'atoms', one shape like a cardioid and the other nearly circular. But a closer look discloses an infinity of smaller molecules shaped like the big one, and linked by what I proposed to call a 'devil's polymer'." 3, record 5, English, - Mandelbrot%20set

Représentée graphiquement, la suite illimitée de nombres z ainsi obtenus forme, dans le plan complexe, des structures noires et verruqueuses flottant à l'intérieur d’un puits sans fond. Sous dilatation d’échelle, ces structures révèlent des répliques miniaturisées des ensembles de Julia et forment des courbes spectaculaires. Encore aujourd’hui considéré l'objet géométrique le plus mystérieux et «dictionnaire» de tous les ensembles de Julia. Son caractère continu fut démontré en 1982, son autosimilarité n’ est plus obligatoire à toutes les échelles et l'on ne cesse de lui découvrir des propriétés nouvelles. 3, record 5, French, - ensemble%20de%20Mandelbrot
