Surname
In some cultures, a surname, family name, or last name is the portion of one's personal name that indicates one's family, tribe or community. Practices vary by culture. The family name may be placed at either the start of a person's full name, as the forename, or at the end; the number of surnames given to an individual also varies. As the surname indicates genetic inheritance, all members of a family unit may have identical surnames or there may be variations; for example, a woman might marry and have a child, but later remarry and have another child by a different father, and as such both children could have different surnames. It is common to see two or more words in a surname, such as in compound surnames. Compound surnames can be composed of separate names, such as in traditional Spanish culture, they can be hyphenated together, or may contain prefixes. Using names has been documented in even the oldest historical records. Examples of surnames are documented in the 11th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Blumberg Theorem
In mathematics, the Blumberg theorem states that for any real function f : \R \to \R there is a Dense set, dense subset D of \mathbb such that the Restriction_(mathematics), restriction of f to D is continuous function, continuous. For instance, the restriction of the Dirichlet function (the indicator function of the rational numbers \Q) to \Q is continuous, although the Dirichlet function is Nowhere continuous function, nowhere continuous in \R. Blumberg spaces More generally, a Blumberg space is a topological space X for which any function f : X \to \R admits a continuous restriction on a dense subset of X. The Blumberg theorem therefore asserts that \mathbb (equipped with its usual topology) is a Blumberg space. If X is a metric space then X is a Blumberg space if and only if it is a Baire space.
