A body K ⊂ Rn is convex if and only if the line segment between any two points in K is completely contained within K or, equivalently, if and only if the convex hull of a set of points in K is contained within K.

As schools moved to a mode of emergency response teaching — ERT — at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the effect that remote learning had on students and teachers depended on whether they were in developed or developing countries, a new study shows.

In On the Origin of Species, Charles Darwin described the evolutionary relationships between organisms as branches on a tree, a diagrammatic representation of all species that have ever existed connected by common descent.

The affinities of all the beings of the same class have sometimes been represented by a great tree. I believe this simile largely speaks the truth. The green and budding twigs may represent existing species; and those produced during each former year may represent the long succession of extinct species.
