Order of the Golden Chain Order of the Golden Chain The Order of the Golden Chain is a fraternal social organization for Freemasons and their immediate female relatives. The Order of the Golden Chain originated in June 1929 in Asbury Park, New Jersey, when a group of Master Masons and their female relatives met to fulfill a need for a non-sectarian fraternal organization that would be related to Masonry. This was made necessary as the result of the break with the Order of the Eastern Star, caused by the passage of a mandatory resolution which changed the status of the organization from what had been
Genus (mathematics) manifold of complex points). For example, the definition of elliptic curve from algebraic geometry is "connected non-singular projective curve of genus 1 with a given rational point on it". By the Riemann-Roch theorem, an irreducible plane curve of degree "d" has geometric genus where "s" is the number of singularities when properly counted. Genus can be also calculated for the graph spanned by the net of chemical interactions in nucleic acids or proteins. In particular, one may study the growth of the genus along the chain. Such a function (called the genus trace) shows the topological complexity and domain structure
