  2. cis (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    so the cis function can be used to extend Euler's formula to a more general complex version. [5] The function is mostly used as a convenient shorthand notation to simplify some expressions, [6] [7] [8] for example in conjunction with Fourier and Hartley transforms, [9] [10] [11] or when exponential functions shouldn't be used for some reason in ...

    Universe set and complement notation The notation L ∁ = def X ∖ L . {\displaystyle L^{\complement }~{\stackrel {\scriptscriptstyle {\text{def}}}{=}}~X\setminus L.} may be used if L {\displaystyle L} is a subset of some set X {\displaystyle X} that is understood (say from context, or because it is clearly stated what the superset X ...

  4. Variable (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    For example, in the notation f(x, y, z), the three variables may be all independent and the notation represents a function of three variables. On the other hand, if y and z depend on x (are dependent variables) then the notation represents a function of the single independent variable x. [24]

  5. Closed-form expression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed-form_expression

    The quadratic formula =. is a closed form of the solutions to the general quadratic equation + + =. More generally, in the context of polynomial equations, a closed form of a solution is a solution in radicals; that is, a closed-form expression for which the allowed functions are only n th-roots and field operations (+,,, /).

  6. Subscript and superscript - Wikipedia

    For example, the chemical formula for glucose is C 6 H 12 O 6 (meaning that it is a molecule with 6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms and 6 oxygen atoms). The chemical formula of the water molecule, H 2 O, indicates that it contains two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. A subscript is also used to distinguish between different versions of a ...

  7. Yoneda lemma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoneda_lemma

    In mathematics, the Yoneda lemma is a fundamental result in category theory. [1] It is an abstract result on functors of the type morphisms into a fixed object.It is a vast generalisation of Cayley's theorem from group theory (viewing a group as a miniature category with just one object and only isomorphisms).

  8. Elementary algebra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elementary_algebra

    This use of variables entails use of algebraic notation and an understanding of the general rules of the operations introduced in arithmetic: addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, etc. Unlike abstract algebra , elementary algebra is not concerned with algebraic structures outside the realm of real and complex numbers .

  9. APL syntax and symbols - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/APL_syntax_and_symbols

    The above dyadic functions examples [left and right examples] (using the same / symbol, right example) demonstrate how Boolean values (0s and 1s) can be used as left arguments for the \ expand and / replicate functions to produce exactly opposite results.
