14. Mathematical terminology relating to vegetation
As of yet, there is no mathematical object commonly called a "bud". Trees are found in graph theory, fields are found in group theory and most people have heard of square roots.
Field
Tree
Bud
Root
15. Trigonometric functions
There is no such thing as a bicosine. The arctangent is the inverse function of the tangent and the cosecant of an angle is equal to one divided by the sine of the angle.
