Normal Distribution
In statistics, a normal distribution or Gaussian distribution is a type of continuous probability distribution for a real-valued random variable. The general form of its probability density function is : f(x) = \frac e^ The parameter \mu is the mean or expectation of the distribution (and also its median and mode), while the parameter \sigma is its standard deviation. The variance of the distribution is \sigma^2. A random variable with a Gaussian distribution is said to be normally distributed, and is called a normal deviate. Normal distributions are important in statistics and are often used in the natural and social sciences to represent real-valued random variables whose distributions are not known. Their importance is partly due to the central limit theorem. It states that, under some conditions, the average of many samples (observations) of a random variable with finite mean and variance is itself a random variable—whose distribution converges to a normal dist ...

Normal (2003 Film)
''Normal'' is a 2003 American made-for-television drama film produced by HBO Films, which became an official selection at the 2003 Sundance Film Festival. Jane Anderson, the film's writer and director, adapted her own play, ''Looking for Normal''. The film is about a fictional Midwestern factory worker named Roy Applewood, who stuns his wife of 25 years by saying he wishes to undergo sex reassignment surgery and transition to a woman. In an HBO interview, Anderson was asked "Were you drawing on any sources when you were researching this? Or was it purely out of your imagination?", to which she replied "Oh, it's my imagination, it's all fiction." She also said that she wanted to use the play "as a metaphor for a study of marriage", calling transition the "ultimate betrayal". Plot Roy Applewood (Tom Wilkinson), after fainting on the night of 25th marriage anniversary, shocks his wife Irma ( Jessica Lange) by revealing plans to transition into a woman named Ruth. While Ruth tri ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Normal (Eminem Song)
"Normal" is a song by American rapper Eminem from his tenth studio album ''Kamikaze''. It was released as the album's fifth track on August 31, 2018 via Shady Records along with the rest of the album. Recording sessions took place at Effigy Studios in Detroit. Produced by Illadaproducer, Symbolyc One and Lonestarrmuzik, the song contains samples from Little Dragon's song "Seconds". Despite never being released as a single, the song has managed to chart worldwide. The rapper speaks about a volatile, mutually toxic relationship that throws several parallels to the hit single " Love the Way You Lie". He raps in the song's opening: "I love you but I hope you fuckin' die tho". Tom Breihan of ''Stereogum'' wrote: "Eminem freaks out on an on-and-off girlfriend, accusing her of cheating or of getting back at him by dressing sexy when she goes out. He complains that she’s being “extra, like a fuckin’ terrestrial”. As the song progresses, he's rapping about putting tracking devices ...

Normal Subgroup
In abstract algebra, a normal subgroup (also known as an invariant subgroup or self-conjugate subgroup) is a subgroup that is invariant under conjugation by members of the group of which it is a part. In other words, a subgroup N of the group G is normal in G if and only if gng^ \in N for all g \in G and n \in N. The usual notation for this relation is N \triangleleft G. Normal subgroups are important because they (and only they) can be used to construct quotient groups of the given group. Furthermore, the normal subgroups of G are precisely the kernels of group homomorphisms with domain G, which means that they can be used to internally classify those homomorphisms. Évariste Galois was the first to realize the importance of the existence of normal subgroups. Definitions A subgroup N of a group G is called a normal subgroup of G if it is invariant under conjugation; that is, the conjugation of an element of N by an element of G is always in N. The usual notation for thi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Normal (geometry)
In geometry, a normal is an object such as a line, ray, or vector that is perpendicular to a given object. For example, the normal line to a plane curve at a given point is the (infinite) line perpendicular to the tangent line to the curve at the point. A normal vector may have length one (a unit vector) or its length may represent the curvature of the object (a '' curvature vector''); its algebraic sign may indicate sides (interior or exterior). In three dimensions, a surface normal, or simply normal, to a surface at point P is a vector perpendicular to the tangent plane of the surface at P. The word "normal" is also used as an adjective: a line ''normal'' to a plane, the ''normal'' component of a force, the normal vector, etc. The concept of normality generalizes to orthogonality ( right angles). The concept has been generalized to differentiable manifolds of arbitrary dimension embedded in a Euclidean space. The normal vector space or normal space of a manifold a ...

Normal (New Girl)
"Normal" is the twentieth episode of the first season of the American comedy television series ''New Girl''. It was written by Luvh Rakhe and directed by Jesse Peretz. Plot Jess (Zooey Deschanel) brings her new boyfriend Russell (Dermot Mulroney) home to the loft to meet her roommates. After some reluctance, the men bond when the group plays True American, an active drinking game. The game ends when Cece (Hannah Simone) retreats to Schmidt's bed, prompting Schmidt ( Max Greenfield) to join her. Nick (Jake Johnson) then shares his idea for "real apps," a suite of physical " apps" for smartphones with functionality similar to a Swiss Army knife. He accidentally wounds Russell with the prototype, prompting Russell to leave, to Jess's disappointment. Winston (Lamorne Morris) begins a new job in "Normal" as an assistant to sports talk show host Joe Napoli ( Phil Hendrie). Winston's initial enthusiasm for the job fades when he realizes Napoli is an abrasive and disrespectful boss. Ka ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Normal Scheme
In algebraic geometry, an algebraic variety or scheme ''X'' is normal if it is normal at every point, meaning that the local ring at the point is an integrally closed domain. An affine variety ''X'' (understood to be irreducible) is normal if and only if the ring ''O''(''X'') of regular functions on ''X'' is an integrally closed domain. A variety ''X'' over a field is normal if and only if every finite birational morphism from any variety ''Y'' to ''X'' is an isomorphism. Normal varieties were introduced by . Geometric and algebraic interpretations of normality A morphism of varieties is finite if the inverse image of every point is finite and the morphism is proper. A morphism of varieties is birational if it restricts to an isomorphism between dense open subsets. So, for example, the cuspidal cubic curve ''X'' in the affine plane ''A''2 defined by ''x''2 = ''y''3 is not normal, because there is a finite birational morphism ''A''1 → ''X'' (namely, ''t'' maps to (''t''3, ''t ...

Normal Number
In mathematics, a real number is said to be simply normal in an integer base b if its infinite sequence of digits is distributed uniformly in the sense that each of the b digit values has the same natural density 1/b. A number is said to be normal in base b if, for every positive integer n, all possible strings n digits long have density b−''n''. Intuitively, a number being simply normal means that no digit occurs more frequently than any other. If a number is normal, no finite combination of digits of a given length occurs more frequently than any other combination of the same length. A normal number can be thought of as an infinite sequence of coin flips ( binary) or rolls of a die ( base 6). Even though there ''will'' be sequences such as 10, 100, or more consecutive tails (binary) or fives (base 6) or even 10, 100, or more repetitions of a sequence such as tail-head (two consecutive coin flips) or 6-1 (two consecutive rolls of a die), there will also be equally ...

Normal Operator
In mathematics, especially functional analysis, a normal operator on a complex Hilbert space ''H'' is a continuous linear operator ''N'' : ''H'' → ''H'' that commutes with its hermitian adjoint ''N*'', that is: ''NN*'' = ''N*N''. Normal operators are important because the spectral theorem holds for them. The class of normal operators is well understood. Examples of normal operators are * unitary operators: ''N*'' = ''N−1'' * Hermitian operators (i.e., self-adjoint operators): ''N*'' = ''N'' * Skew-Hermitian operators: ''N*'' = −''N'' * positive operators: ''N'' = ''MM*'' for some ''M'' (so ''N'' is self-adjoint). A normal matrix is the matrix expression of a normal operator on the Hilbert space C''n''. Properties Normal operators are characterized by the spectral theorem. A compact normal operator (in particular, a normal operator on a finite-dimensional linear space) is unitarily diagonalizable. Let T be a bounded operator. The following are equivalent. * T is ...
