  2. Applied mathematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Applied_mathematics

    Applied mathematics is the application of mathematical methods by different fields such as physics, engineering, medicine, biology, finance, business, computer science, and industry. Thus, applied mathematics is a combination of mathematical science and specialized knowledge. The term "applied mathematics" also describes the professional ...

  3. List of open-source software for mathematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_open-source...

    Axiom is a general-purpose computer algebra system. It has been in development since 1971 by IBM, and was originally named scratchpad. Richard Jenks originally headed it but over the years Barry Trager who then shaped the direction of the scratchpad project took over the project. It was eventually sold to the Numerical Algorithms Group (NAG ...

  4. Mathematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematics

    Mathematics is a field of study that discovers and organizes methods, theories and theorems that are developed and proved for the needs of empirical sciences and mathematics itself. There are many areas of mathematics, which include number theory (the study of numbers), algebra (the study of formulas and related structures), geometry (the study ...

  5. Trachtenberg system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trachtenberg_system

    Trachtenberg system. The Trachtenberg system is a system of rapid mental calculation. The system consists of a number of readily memorized operations that allow one to perform arithmetic computations very quickly. It was developed by the Russian engineer Jakow Trachtenberg in order to keep his mind occupied while being in a Nazi concentration camp.

  6. Linear algebra - Wikipedia

    The blue line is the common solution to two of these equations. Linear algebra is the branch of mathematics concerning linear equations such as: linear maps such as: and their representations in vector spaces and through matrices. [1][2][3] Linear algebra is central to almost all areas of mathematics. For instance, linear algebra is fundamental ...

  7. Pure mathematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pure_mathematics

    Mathematics. Pure mathematics studies the properties and structure of abstract objects, [1] such as the E8 group, in group theory. This may be done without focusing on concrete applications of the concepts in the physical world. Pure mathematics is the study of mathematical concepts independently of any application outside mathematics.

  8. Basic research - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_research

    e. Basic research, also called pure research, fundamental research, basic science, or pure science, is a type of scientific research with the aim of improving scientific theories for better understanding and prediction of natural or other phenomena. [1] In contrast, applied research uses scientific theories to develop technology or techniques ...

  9. Foundations of mathematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundations_of_mathematics

    e. Foundations of mathematics is the logical and mathematical framework that allows the development of mathematics without generating self-contradictory theories, and, in particular, to have reliable concepts of theorems, proofs, algorithms, etc. This may also include the philosophical study of the relation of this framework with reality.
