WHAT DOES DEGREE OF FREEDOM MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Degrees of freedom

In many scientific fields, the degrees of freedom of a system is the number of parameters of the system that may vary independently. For example, the position of a figure in the plane has three degrees of freedom: its orientation and the two coordinates of any fixed point of the figure. In mathematics, this notion is formalized as the dimension of a manifold or an algebraic variety. When degrees of freedom is used instead of dimension, this usually means that the manifold or variety that models the system is only implicitly defined. See: ▪ Degrees of freedom, number of independent motions that are allowed to the body or, in case of a mechanism made of several bodies, number of possible independent relative motions between the pieces of the mechanism ▪ Degrees of freedom, a term used in explaining dependence on parameters, or the dimensions of a phase space ▪ Degrees of freedom, the number of values in the final calculation of a statistic that are free to vary ▪ Degrees of freedom problem, the problem of controlling motor movement given abundant degrees of freedom...
