  2. Inflection point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inflection_point

    An example of a stationary point of inflection is the point (0, 0) on the graph of y = x 3. The tangent is the x-axis, which cuts the graph at this point. An example of a non-stationary point of inflection is the point (0, 0) on the graph of y = x 3 + ax, for any nonzero a. The tangent at the origin is the line y = ax, which cuts the graph at ...

  3. Critical point (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    The x-coordinates of the red circles are stationary points; the blue squares are inflection points. In mathematics, a critical point is the argument of a function where the function derivative is zero (or undefined, as specified below). The value of the function at a critical point is a critical value. [1]

  4. Cusp (singularity) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cusp_(singularity)

    For example, rhamphoid cusps occur for inflection points (and for undulation points) for which the tangent is parallel to the direction of projection. In many cases, and typically in computer vision and computer graphics, the curve that is projected is the curve of the critical points of the restriction to a (smooth) spatial object of the ...

  5. Cubic function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_function

    If b 2 – 3ac = 0, then there is only one critical point, which is an inflection point. If b 2 – 3ac < 0, then there are no (real) critical points. In the two latter cases, that is, if b 2 – 3ac is nonpositive, the cubic function is strictly monotonic. See the figure for an example of the case Δ 0 > 0.

  6. Numeracy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numeracy

    For example, Baten [50] and Hippe find a numeracy gap between regions in western and central Europe and the rest of Europe for the period 1790–1880. At the same time, their data analysis reveals that these differences as well as within country inequality decreased over time.

  7. Maximum and minimum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_and_minimum

    For example, if a bounded differentiable function f defined on a closed interval in the real line has a single critical point, which is a local minimum, then it is also a global minimum (use the intermediate value theorem and Rolle's theorem to prove this by contradiction). In two and more dimensions, this argument fails.

  8. Principles and Standards for School Mathematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principles_and_Standards...

    The 2006 Curriculum Focal Points identifies three critical areas at each grade level for pre-kindergarten through Grade 8. [15] Samples of the specific focal points for three grades are below. (Note that the Simple Examples below are not quotes from the Focal Points, but are based on the descriptions of activities found in the Focal Points.)

  9. Mathematical proof - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_proof

    The expression "statistical proof" may be used technically or colloquially in areas of pure mathematics, such as involving cryptography, chaotic series, and probabilistic number theory or analytic number theory. [23] [24] [25] It is less commonly used to refer to a mathematical proof in the branch of mathematics known as mathematical statistics.
