A Treatise of Human Nature taste to be in the other), arguing that unextended perceptions must somehow exist without having a location. But the contrary problem arises for dualists: how can extended perceptions (of extended objects) possibly be conjoined to a simple substance? Indeed, Hume waggishly adds, this is basically the same problem that theologians commonly press against Spinoza's naturalistic metaphysics: thus if the theologians manage to solve the problem of extended perceptions belonging to a simple substance, then they give "that famous atheist" Spinoza a solution to the problem of extended objects as modes of a simple substance. Finally, Hume examines "causal relations", arguing
Quasi-homogeneous polynomial Quasi-homogeneous polynomial In algebra, a multivariate polynomial is quasi-homogeneous or weighted homogeneous, if there exist "r" integers formula_2, called weights of the variables, such that the sum formula_3 is the same for all nonzero terms of "f". This sum "w" is the "weight" or the "degree" of the polynomial. The term "quasi-homogeneous" comes from the fact that a polynomial "f" is quasi-homogeneous if and only if for every formula_5 in any field containing the coefficients. A polynomial formula_6 is quasi-homogeneous with weights formula_2 if and only if is a homogeneous polynomial in the formula_9. In particular, a homogeneous polynomial is
