Older books, when they use the word "range", tend to use it to mean what is now called the codomain. [1] More modern books, if they use the word "range" at all, generally use it to mean what is now called the image. [2] To avoid any confusion, a number of modern books don't use the word "range" at all. [3]
The long real line pastes together ℵ 1 * + ℵ 1 copies of the real line plus a single point (here ℵ 1 * denotes the reversed ordering of ℵ 1) to create an ordered set that is "locally" identical to the real numbers, but somehow longer; for instance, there is an order-preserving embedding of ℵ 1 in the long real line but not in the real ...
A complex-valued function of a real variable may be defined by relaxing, in the definition of the real-valued functions, the restriction of the codomain to the real numbers, and allowing complex values. If f(x) is such a complex valued function, it may be decomposed as f(x) = g(x) + ih(x), where g and h are real-valued functions. In other words ...
An interval can be defined as a set of points within a specified distance of the center, and this definition can be extended from real numbers to complex numbers. [2] Another extension defines intervals as rectangles in the complex plane. As is the case with computing with real numbers, computing with complex numbers involves uncertain data.
A definition for matrices over a ring is also possible. The row space is defined similarly. The row space and the column space of a matrix A are sometimes denoted as C(A T) and C(A) respectively. [2] This article considers matrices of real numbers.
R – real numbers. ran – range of a function. rank – rank of a matrix. (Also written as rk.) Re – real part of a complex number. [2] (Also written.) resp – respectively. RHS – right-hand side of an equation. rk – rank. (Also written as rank.) RMS, rms – root mean square. rng – non-unital ring. rot – rotor of a vector field.
Algebraic numbers on the complex plane colored by degree (red=1, green=2, blue=3, yellow=4). A real number is called a real algebraic number if there is a polynomial (), with only integer coefficients, so that is a root of , that is, () =.
The square root of 2 is equal to the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs of length 1 and is therefore a constructible number. In geometry and algebra, a real number is constructible if and only if, given a line segment of unit length, a line segment of length | | can be constructed with compass and straightedge in a finite number of steps.
