For example, see coupling, compression fitting, piping, and plumbing fittings. ** A furniture fitting is any furniture component having practical use. ** The process of applying regression analysis to data. This method is sometimes called ''line-fitting'' or curve fitting, depending on the result. ** The process of cutting and shaping parts on a custom, craft-production basis to cause them to fit together into an assembly with the proper

engineering fit Engineering fits are generally used as part of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing when a part or assembly is designed. In engineering terms, the "fit" is the clearance between two mating parts, and the size of this clearance determines whethe ...

Fitting subgroup In mathematics, especially in the area of algebra known as group theory, the Fitting subgroup ''F'' of a finite group ''G'', named after Hans Fitting, is the unique largest normal nilpotent subgroup of ''G''. Intuitively, it represents the smalles ...

Fitting length In mathematics, specifically in the area of algebra known as group theory, the Fitting length (or nilpotent length) measures how far a solvable group is from being nilpotent. The concept is named after Hans Fitting, due to his investigations of ni ...

Fitting lemma The Fitting lemma, named after the mathematician Hans Fitting, is a basic statement in abstract algebra. Suppose ''M'' is a module over some ring. If ''M'' is indecomposable and has finite length, then every endomorphism of ''M'' is either an au ...

Fitting's theorem Fitting's theorem is a mathematical theorem proved by Hans Fitting. It can be stated as follows: :If ''M'' and ''N'' are nilpotent normal subgroups of a group ''G'', then their product ''MN'' is also a nilpotent normal subgroup of ''G''; if, more ...
