A condition or capability that a system, person or object has to satisfy, fulfill or comply with. / (computing) Any of the functions of a software system, described formally.

(mathematics) Any of class of special functions, usually denoted as two pairs of functions berₙ(x), beiₙ(x), kerₙ(x) and keiₙ(x) with variable x and given order number n. The former two functions berₙ(x) and beiₙ(x) respectively correspond to the real part and the imaginary part of the Kelvin differential equation's solution that can be expressed with the Bessel function of the first kind Jₙ(x), and the latter kerₙ(x) and keiₙ(x) correspond to those that can be expressed with the modified Bessel function of the second kind Kₙ(x).

(mathematics) Any of a class of functions that are solutions to a particular form of differential equation (a Bessel equation) and are typically used to describe waves in a cylindrically symmetric system.

(differential geometry) the Riemannian metric for 2-dimensional manifolds, i.e. given a surface with regular parametrization x(u,v), the first fundamental form is a set of three functions, {E, F, G}, dependent on u and v, which give information about local intrinsic curvature of the surface. These functions are given by

(mathematics) a function of the type f:V⨯V→V, or more generally, a function of the type f:U_1⨯U_2⨯...⨯U_n→V in which exactly two of the sets Uᵢ are equal to V.

plural of mutual fund

(finance) A form of collective investment in which money from many investors is pooled and invested in stocks, bonds, short-term money market instruments, or other securities under the direction of a fund manager.
