English People
The English people are an ethnic group and nation native to England, who speak the English language in England, English language, a West Germanic languages, West Germanic language, and share a common history and culture. The English identity is of History of Anglo-Saxon England, Anglo-Saxon origin, when they were known in Old English as the ('race or tribe of the Angles'). Their ethnonym is derived from the Angles, one of the Germanic peoples who migrated to Great Britain around the 5th century AD. The English largely descend from two main historical population groups the West Germanic tribes (the Angles, Saxons, Jutes and Frisians) who settled in southern Britain following the withdrawal of the Ancient Rome, Romans, and the Romano-British culture, partially Romanised Celtic Britons already living there.Martiniano, R., Caffell, A., Holst, M. et al.

Mathematician
A mathematician is someone who uses an extensive knowledge of mathematics in their work, typically to solve mathematical problems. Mathematicians are concerned with numbers, data, quantity, structure, space, models, and change. History One of the earliest known mathematicians were Thales of Miletus (c. 624–c.546 BC); he has been hailed as the first true mathematician and the first known individual to whom a mathematical discovery has been attributed. He is credited with the first use of deductive reasoning applied to geometry, by deriving four corollaries to Thales' Theorem. The number of known mathematicians grew when Pythagoras of Samos (c. 582–c. 507 BC) established the Pythagorean School, whose doctrine it was that mathematics ruled the universe and whose motto was "All is number". It was the Pythagoreans who coined the term "mathematics", and with whom the study of mathematics for its own sake begins. The first woman mathematician recorded by history was Hypati ...

Ursell Function
In statistical mechanics, an Ursell function or connected correlation function, is a cumulant of a random variable. It can often be obtained by summing over connected Feynman diagrams (the sum over all Feynman diagrams gives the correlation functions). The Ursell function was named after Harold Ursell, who introduced it in 1927. Definition If ''X'' is a random variable, the moments ''s''''n'' and cumulants (same as the Ursell functions) ''u''''n'' are functions of ''X'' related by the exponential formula: : \operatorname(\exp(zX)) = \sum_n s_n \frac = \exp\left(\sum_n u_n \frac\right) (where \operatorname is the expectation). The Ursell functions for multivariate random variables are defined analogously to the above, and in the same way as multivariate cumulants. :u_n\left(X_1, \ldots, X_n\right) = \left.\frac \cdots \frac\log \operatorname\left(\exp\sum z_i X_i\right)\_ The Ursell functions of a single random variable ''X'' are obtained from these by setting .
