| Estimator statistics, an estimator is a statistic (a function of the observable sample data) that is used to estimate an unknown population parameter (which is called the estimand); an estimate is the result from the actual application of the function to a particular sample of data.

| History of geometry Geometry (Greek γεωμετρία; geo = earth, metria = measure) arose as the field of knowledge dealing with spatial relationships. Geometry was one of the two fields of pre-modern mathematics, the other being the study of numbers. Classic geometry was focused in compass and straightedge constructions. As they are the composition of five elemental constructions over a set of elements, as an algebra over an axiomatic system, the barrier between algebra and geometry began to fade out.
