What is the difference between a rounded number and an estimated one?

Estimating will frequently be the same as rounding, but not necessarily. Rounded numbers have specific rules about where they round to. These don't apply to estimation. 46 will always round up to 50, but it may be advantageous to estimate it at 45.

What is the difference between a rhombus and a paralleloram?

A rhombus is a special case of a parallelogram. A parallelogram has two pairs of equal sides whereas in a rhombus all four are the same length.

What is the the difference between a polygon and area perimeter?

A polygon is a single 2-dimensional shape fully enclosed by straight lines.

An area is the amount of space that is contained within a closed 2-dimensional shape.


A perimeter is the total length of the lines that form the boundary of a 2-dimensional shape.


Area and perimeter need not be restricted to polygons.

What is the difference between wavelet transform and wavelet packet transform?

in wavelet transform only approximate coeffitients are further decoposed into uniform frequency subbands while in that of wavelet packet transform both approximate and detailed coeffitients are deomposed further into sub bands.

What is the difference between a trapazoid and a rectangle?

All four angles of a rectangle are right angles. A trapezoid can have at most two right angles.

Why do we study the median?

The median is a more robust measure than the average, which means it is more resilient to the effects of outliers in your dataset.

When is a point between other points?

If you have 3 points on the same line or line segment, and there is one point on the right, one point on the left, and one point that is not on either end but is in the middle, then that is the point which is between other points.

What is the main difference between squares and rohmbusses?

A square is one special kind of rhombus ... the kind that has a right angle in it.

Why is mathematics categorized into pure and applied?

Applied mathematics focuses on the application of mathematical principles to real world problems, and even some abstract problems. Engineering, theoretical physics, and computer science all make use of applied mathematics, and frequently firms of these types will employ mathematicians to supplement their group of employees. I.e. some video game developers employ mathematicians for complex physics modeling equations. Some physicists seek the help of mathematicians to provide rigorous proofs and other mathematical support for abstract concepts.

Pure math is the study of math, with the goal being the improvement of the foundations or concepts of math. Pure math is the study of the underlying mechanisms that cause mathematical techniques to work, the improvement and justification of these techniques and development of new techniques all fall under pure math. I.e. developing a substitute for traditional trigonometry would be pure math(chose that example because someone recently did that). They also analyze abstract math problems and see what concepts could apply to them or why they work.

The *are separated for the same reason physics and engineering are separated.

It would be less efficient to focus on both the development of mathematical concepts and ways to apply these concepts to the real world. Too much workload for most students. In the same vein a physicist doesn't have time to learn all the technology and applications of physics to eliminate the job of an engineer, even though the physicist probably has a better understanding of the physics that the engineer would use on a daily basis.

Are pushups in between sets considered supersets?

Yes, supersets are any two exercises done back to back without rest in between. For example you start with 10 reps of bench press, then with out resting you do 10 pushups, that would be one set.

What is the difference between halt and transit point?

halt means destination the place where you want to go via flight or trains departure means going somewhere from where you are

What is the difference between carbon foot print and environmental footprints?

carbon footprint is the co2 you get in air from burning trees

environmental footprint is the bare spot in the forest left by cutting down trees, the erodes, dumping silt in the river leading to more erosion, that may bring down more trees ,leaving no homes for the furry friends and no place for the worms to dig to make nice soil for trees to grow in.
