  • indiscoverable — not discoverable.
  • insusceptively — in an insusceptive manner
  • integral curve — a curve that is a geometric representation of a functional solution to a given differential equation.
  • interval scale — a scale of measurement of data according to which the differences between values can be quantified in absolute but not relative terms and for which any zero is merely arbitrary: for instance, dates are measured on an interval scale since differences can be measured in years, but no sense can be given to a ratio of times
  • invincibleness — The quality of being invincible; unconquerableness; insuperableness.
  • irrespectively — without regard to something else, especially something specified; ignoring or discounting (usually followed by of): Irrespective of my wishes, I should go.

  • living picture — tableau (def 3).
  • local variable — (programming)   A variable with lexical scope, i.e. one which only exists in some particular part of the source code, typically within a block or a function or procedure body. This contrasts with a global variable, which is defined throughout the whole program. Code is easier to understand and modify when the scope of variables is as small as possible because it is easier to see how the variable is set and used. Code containing global variables is harder to modify because its behaviour may depend on and affect other sections of code that refer to that variable.
  • logic variable — (programming)   A variable in a logic programming language which is initially undefined ("unbound") but may get bound to a value or another logic variable during unification of the containing clause with the current goal. The value to which it is bound may contain other variables which may themselves be bound or unbound. For example, when unifying the clause sad(X) :- computer(X, ibmpc). with the goal sad(billgates). the variable X will become bound to the atom "billgates" yielding the new subgoal "computer(billgates, ibmpc)".
  • logistic curve — a curve, shaped like a letter S , defined as an exponential function and used to model various forms of growth.
  • macroevolution — major evolutionary transition from one type of organism to another occurring at the level of the species and higher taxa.
  • mechanicsville — a village in E Virginia, near Richmond: Civil War battle 1862.

  • nonconvertible — Not convertible; that cannot be exchanged for an equivalent.
  • noncorrelative — Not correlative.
  • nondeclarative — serving to declare, make known, or explain: a declarative statement.

  • nonspeculative — not speculative
  • novelistically — In a novelistic way.

  • nuisance value — the usefulness of a person's or thing's capacity to cause difficulties or irritation
  • objective caml — (language)   (Originally "CAML" - Categorical Abstract Machine Language) A version of ML by G. Huet, G. Cousineau, Ascander Suarez, Pierre Weis, Michel Mauny and others of INRIA. CAML is intermediate between LCF ML and SML [in what sense?]. It has first-class functions, static type inference with polymorphic types, user-defined variant types and product types, and pattern matching. It is built on a proprietary run-time system. The CAML V3.1 implementation added lazy and mutable data structures, a "grammar" mechanism for interfacing with the Yacc parser generator, pretty-printing tools, high-performance arbitrary-precision arithmetic, and a complete library. in 1990 Xavier Leroy and Damien Doligez designed a new implementation called CAML Light, freeing the previous implementation from too many experimental high-level features, and more importantly, from the old Le_Lisp back-end. Following the addition of a native-code compiler and a powerful module system in 1995 and of the object and class layer in 1996, the project's name was changed to Objective CAML. In 2000, Jacques Garrigue added labeled and optional arguments and anonymous variants.
  • objective lens — objective (def 3).
