Transversal (combinatorics)
In mathematics, particularly in combinatorics, given a family of sets, here called a collection ''C'', a transversal (also called a cross-section) is a set containing exactly one element from each member of the collection. When the sets of the collection are mutually disjoint, each element of the transversal corresponds to exactly one member of ''C'' (the set it is a member of). If the original sets are not disjoint, there are two possibilities for the definition of a transversal: * One variation is that there is a bijection ''f'' from the transversal to ''C'' such that ''x'' is an element of ''f''(''x'') for each ''x'' in the transversal. In this case, the transversal is also called a system of distinct representatives (SDR). * The other, less commonly used, does not require a one-to-one relation between the elements of the transversal and the sets of ''C''. In this situation, the members of the system of representatives are not necessarily distinct. In computer science, co ...

Transversal (geometry)
In geometry, a transversal is a line that passes through two lines in the same plane at two distinct points. Transversals play a role in establishing whether two or more other lines in the Euclidean plane are parallel. The intersections of a transversal with two lines create various types of pairs of angles: consecutive interior angles, consecutive exterior angles, corresponding angles, and alternate angles. As a consequence of Euclid's parallel postulate, if the two lines are parallel, consecutive interior angles are supplementary, corresponding angles are equal, and alternate angles are equal. Angles of a transversal A transversal produces 8 angles, as shown in the graph at the above left: *4 with each of the two lines, namely α, β, γ and δ and then α1, β1, γ1 and δ1; and *4 of which are interior (between the two lines), namely α, β, γ1 and δ1 and 4 of which are exterior, namely α1, β1, γ and δ. A transversal that cuts two parallel lines at right angl ...

Transversal (instrument Making)
Transversals are a geometric construction on a scientific instrument to allow a graduation to be read to a finer degree of accuracy. Transversals have been replaced in modern times by vernier scales. This method is based on the Intercept theorem (also known as Thales's theorem). History Transversals were used at a time when finely graduated instruments were difficult to make. They were found on instruments starting in the early 14th century, but the inventor is unknown. In 1342 Levi Ben Gerson introduced an instrument called Jacob's staff (apparently invented the previous century by Jacob Ben Makir) and described the method of the transversal scale applied to the mentioned instrument. Thomas Digges mistakenly attributed the discovery of the transversal scale to the navigator and explorer Richard Chancellor (cited by some authors as watchmaker and with other names, among them: Richard Chansler or Richard Kantzler). Its use on astronomical instruments only began in the late 1 ...

Transversal Corporation
Transversal Corporation is a British software company specializing in cloud-based knowledge management. History Transversal was founded in 1998 by Davin Yap and David MacKay, researchers at the University of Cambridge, to develop a business application for answering customers' questions. Yap served as CEO until 2003 and again from 2005 to 2014, when he was replaced by company executive Heather Richards. In 2007, Transversal was named one of the UK's 20 fastest-growing venture companies. During the 2010s it broadened its geographical reach by opening offices in Australia, Germany and the United States The United States of America (U.S.A. or USA), commonly known as the United States (U.S. or US) or America, is a country primarily located in North America. It consists of 50 U.S. state, states, a Washington, D.C., federal district, five ma .... In 2019, Transversal was acquired by Verint Systems.

Transversal Plane
In geometry, a transversal plane is a plane that intersects (not contains) two or more lines or planes. A transversal plane may also form dihedral angles. Theorems Transversal plane theorem for lines: Lines that intersect a transversal plane are parallel if and only if their alternate interior angles formed by the points of intersection are congruent. Transversal plane theorem for planes: Planes intersected by a transversal plane are parallel if and only if their alternate interior dihedral angles are congruent. Transversal line containment theorem: If a transversal line In geometry, a transversal is a line that passes through two lines in the same plane at two distinct points.

The transverse plane (also known as the horizontal plane, axial plane and transaxial plane) is an anatomical plane that divides the body into superior and inferior sections. It is perpendicular to the coronal and sagittal planes.
