Timeserving \Time"serv`ing\, a.       Obsequiously complying with the spirit of the times, or the       humors of those in power.
From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
Timeserving \Time"serv`ing\, n.       An obsequious compliance with the spirit of the times, or the       humors of those in power, which implies a surrender of one's       independence, and sometimes of one's integrity.          Syn: Temporizing.          Usage: {Timeserving}, {Temporizing}. Both these words are                   applied to the conduct of one who adapts himself                   servilely to times and seasons. A timeserver is rather                   active, and a temporizer, passive. One whose policy is                   timeserving comes forward to act upon principles or                   opinions which may promote his advancement; one who is                   temporizing yields to the current of public sentiment                   or prejudice, and shrinks from a course of action                   which might injure him with others. The former is                   dishonest; the latter is weak; and both are                   contemptible.                               Trimming and timeserving, which are but two                            words for the same thing, . . . produce                            confusion.                                    --South.                               [I] pronounce thee . . . a hovering temporizer,                            that Canst with thine eyes at once see good and                            evil, Inclining to them both.      --Shak.

tensor product          A function of two {vector spaces}, U and V,       which returns the space of {linear maps} from V's {dual} to U.          Tensor product has natural symmetry in interchange of U and V       and it produces an {associative} "multiplication" on vector       spaces.          Wrinting * for tensor product, we can map UxV to U*V via:       (u,v) maps to that linear map which takes any w in V's dual to       u times w's action on v.   We call this linear map u*v.   One       can then show that          u * v + u * x = u * (v+x)       u * v + t * v = (u+t) * v       and       hu * v = h(u * v) = u * hv          ie, the mapping respects {linearity}: whence any {bilinear       map} from UxV (to wherever) may be factorised via this       mapping.   This gives us the degree of natural symmetry in       swapping U and V.   By rolling it up to multilinear maps from       products of several vector spaces, we can get to the natural       associative "multiplication" on vector spaces.          When all the vector spaces are the same, permutation of the       factors doesn't change the space and so constitutes an       automorphism.   These permutation-induced iso-auto-morphisms       form a {group} which is a {model} of the group of       permutations.          (1996-09-27)
