What is Uniform: Definition and 1000 Discussions

A uniform is a type of clothing worn by members of an organization while participating in that organization's activity. Modern uniforms are most often worn by armed forces and paramilitary organizations such as police, emergency services, security guards, in some workplaces and schools and by inmates in prisons. In some countries, some other officials also wear uniforms in their duties; such is the case of the Commissioned Corps of the United States Public Health Service or the French prefects. For some organizations, such as police, it may be illegal for non members to wear the uniform.

    The Importance of Understanding Different Formulas in Uniform Circular Motion

    https://i.imgur.com/4nynNBg.png I cannot understand for the life of me why this problem doesn't just use T = 2πr/v to solve for the period to get T = 2π(Lsinβ)/v. Instead, it rearranges the formula for a(rad) = (4π^2R)/T^2 to solve for T, and arrives at a totally different answer, T =...

    I Can we have a pasting lemma for uniform continuous functions

    In analysis, the pasting or gluing lemma, is an important result which says that two continuous functions can be "glued together" to create another continuous function. The lemma is implicit in the use of piecewise functions. Can we have a similar situation for uniform continuous functions?
