  2. Critical point (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_point_(mathematics)

    Similarly, when dealing with complex variables, a critical point is a point in the function's domain where its derivative is equal to zero (or the function is not holomorphic). [3] [4] Likewise, for a function of several real variables, a critical point is a value in its domain where the gradient norm is equal to zero (or undefined). [5]

  3. Classification of discontinuities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classification_of...

    The term removable discontinuity is sometimes broadened to include a removable singularity, in which the limits in both directions exist and are equal, while the function is undefined at the point . [a] This use is an abuse of terminology because continuity and discontinuity of a function are concepts defined only for points in the function's ...

  4. Nonstandard analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonstandard_analysis

    For example, any line passing through the point (0, 1) on the y-axis and having infinitesimal slope is parallel to the x-axis. Theorem. For any limited hyperreal r there is a unique standard real denoted st(r) infinitely close to r. The mapping st is a ring homomorphism from the ring of limited hyperreals to R. The mapping st is also external.

  5. atan2 - Wikipedia

    atan2(y, x) returns the angle θ between the positive x-axis and the ray from the origin to the point (x, y), confined to (−π, π].Graph of ⁡ (,) over /. In computing and mathematics, the function atan2 is the 2-argument arctangent.

  6. Domain (mathematical analysis) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_(mathematical_analysis)

    In complex analysis, a complex domain (or simply domain) is any connected open subset of the complex plane C. For example, the entire complex plane is a domain, as is the open unit disk, the open upper half-plane, and so forth. Often, a complex domain serves as the domain of definition for a holomorphic function.

  7. Argument (complex analysis) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_(complex_analysis)

    Figure 1. This Argand diagram represents the complex number lying on a plane.For each point on the plane, arg is the function which returns the angle . In mathematics (particularly in complex analysis), the argument of a complex number z, denoted arg(z), is the angle between the positive real axis and the line joining the origin and z, represented as a point in the complex plane, shown as in ...

  8. Newton's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_method

    If f has an incomplete domain, it is possible for Newton's method to send the iterates outside of the domain, so that it is impossible to continue the iteration. [19] For example, the natural logarithm function f ( x ) = ln x has a root at 1, and is defined only for positive x .

  9. Domain of a function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_of_a_function

    The term domain is also commonly used in a different sense in mathematical analysis: a domain is a non-empty connected open set in a topological space. In particular, in real and complex analysis , a domain is a non-empty connected open subset of the real coordinate space R n {\displaystyle \mathbb {R} ^{n}} or the complex coordinate space C n ...
