List of dualities

Mathematics

In mathematics, a duality, generally speaking, translates concepts, theorems or mathematical structures into other concepts, theorems or structures, in a one-to-one fashion, often (but not always) by means of an involution operation: if the dual of A is B, then the dual of B is A.

gollark: I'm pretty sure SATA and SAS are different things, but there's a way to use SATA disks with SAS devices or something?
gollark: It's pretty neat, since it produces convenient one-file databases you can pass around between computers easiyl.
gollark: SQLite is neat for structured data storage/retrieval.
gollark: WD external hard drives go to 16TB or so and are surprisingly cheap, and you can pull out the disk and use it as an internal one.
gollark: If you mean SSHD as the HDDs with a bit of extra flash storage, I'd say probably not.

The parallel sum of two positive real numbers x:y = [(1/x) + (1/y)]−1 arises in electrical circuit theory as the resistance resulting from hooking two resistances x and y in parallel.
