What is a mathematical rule called?
A mathematical rule can be called many things including a theory. Proofs can prove this theory to be a rule.
What are basic mathematical assumptions called?
Theorems
What is a mathematical expression of a natural law called?
Equation
Addition and subtraction are best called what?
Mathematical processes or operations
A mathematical expression that contains an equal sign is called?
An equation
When an explanation has been supported by many experiment's the explanation is a?
The explanation supported by many experiments is called scientific theory.
A visual verbal or mathematical explanation that is supported by data is called?
Theory
When a hypothesis is supported by many different experiments it is considered a?
The explanation supported by many experiments is called scientific theory.
What is the term for an explanation backed by results from repeated tests or experiments?
This would be called a well established theory.
What is it called when you calculate the probability of an event without doing any experiments?
When you calculate the probability of an event without doing any experiments, it is called theoretical probability. It is based on mathematical calculations using known information and assumptions about the event.
A writer's collected works is called a what?
A writer's collected works are often called a "bibliography" or a "collected works".
What is a diamond called in mathematical terms?
In mathematical terms it's called a rhombus.
What are experiments done in a natural setting called?
field experiments
What is a mathematical rule called?
A mathematical rule can be called many things including a theory. Proofs can prove this theory to be a rule.
A possible explanation for how or why something happens is called what?
A possible explanation is called a hypothesis.
How was planks constant discovered?
The spectrum of object glowing because of their temperature -- a phenomena called "blackbody radiation" -- was a (no pun intended) "hot topic" in the late 1800s. Because all types of matter was found to have the same spectrum at the same temperature (more or less), it was felt that understanding BBR would give insight into the basic nature of matter. Developing an explanation for what was seen in experiments frustrated the scientific community so much that Max Planck decided to see if he could develop a mathematical explanation. He found he could mathematically explain the spectrum by assuming that the light coming from a blackbody came in discrete parts (he called them "quanta") where the energy of each quanta was equal to a constant 'h' times the frequency of that light, What he never considered was that his mathematical explanation was what actually WAS HAPPENING -- that light really DOES come in quanta. The constant that he used to derive his formula is now called "Planck's Constant," and it is a fundamental aspect of the Universe we happen to live in.
Would the force that causes a helium balloon to rise be called anti-gravity?
No, it rises because of buoyancy. For a really good non-mathematical explanation go to the answer in the Related Answers section below called Why do some things float but not others.
