| Stage (stratigraphy) In chronostratigraphy, a stage is a succession of rock strata laid down in an single age on the geologic timescale, which usually represents millions of years of deposition. A given stage of rock and the corresponding age of time will by convention have the same name, and the same boundaries.Rock series are divided into stages, just as geological epochs are divided into ages. Stages can be divided into smaller stratigraphic units called chronozones. (See chart at right for full terminology hierarchy.) Stage_(stratigraphy) | |

| Groupoid ''In abstract algebra, a branch of mathematics, especially in category theory and homotopy theory, a groupoid generalises the notion of group and of category in several equivalent ways. A groupoid can be seen as a Group with a partial function replacing the binary operation; Category in which every morphism is an isomorphism. A category of this sort can be viewed as augmented with a unary operation, called inverse by analogy with group theory. Groupoid | |

| Gecko Geckos are small to average sized lizards belonging to the family Gekkonidae, found in warm climates throughout the world. Geckos are unique among lizards in their vocalizations, making chirping sounds in social interactions with other geckos. An estimated 2,000 different species of geckos exist worldwide, with many likely yet to be discovered. The name stems from the Indonesian/Javanese word Tokek, inspired by the sound these animals make. The Malay word for gecko is cicak. Gecko | |

| IEEE 754-1985 IEEE Standard for Binary Floating-Point Arithmetic (IEEE 754-1985) set the standard for floating-point computation for 23 years. It became the most widely-used standard for floating-point computation, and is followed by many CPU and FPU implementations. Its binary floating-point formats and arithmetic are preserved in the new IEEE 754-2008 standard which replaced it.The 754-1985 standard defines formats for representing floating-point numbers (including negative zero and denormal numbers) and special values (infinities and NaNs) together with a set of floating-point operations that operate on these values.
