Simplex

English

Etymology

A set of walkie-talkies illustrates simplex (adjective Template:Senseno) wireless communication. Only one user can talk at a time while the other user listens, as the radio signal can only carry information in one direction.

Template:Root The Template:Glossary is a Template:Lbor, ultimately from Template:Der + Template:M + Template:M.

The Template:Glossary is derived from the adjective. The Template:Glossary forms Template:M and Template:M are learned borrowings from Template:Lbor (Template:Glossary or Template:Glossary) and Template:M (Template:Glossary), respectively plural forms of Template:M.

Noun Template:Senseno (“generalization of a triangle or tetrahedron to an arbitrary dimension”) was apparently Template:Glossary by the Dutch mathematician Template:W (1846–1913) as a short version of Simplicissimum in Mehrdimensionale Geometrie (in German, 1902). (In his pioneering works on algebraic topology, the French mathematician Template:W (1854–1912) had previously introduced the concept, but not the actual term simplex.)
