2. Triangle centres (a triangle centre is a point that can be defined as the "centre" of the triangle by some metric)
"Epicentre" is a term used in seismology, in connection to earthquakes. It has nothing to do with triangles.

There are many mathematical formalisations of the concept of infinity, but it is certainly not a real number.
∞
0
π
Googolplex
6. Things that can be represented by a symbol commonly found on a QWERTY keyboard
A limit is usually denoted by "lim"
Subtract
Greater than
Limit

Riemann died in 1866.
Paul Erdős
Bernhard Riemann
Srinivasa Ramanujan
G.H. Hardy
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.
Root
Field
Tree
Bud
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.
Cosecant
Sine
Bicosine
Arctangent
