  2. Mathematical physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_physics

    An example of mathematical physics: solutions of Schrödinger's equation for quantum harmonic oscillators (left) with their amplitudes (right).. Mathematical physics refers to the development of mathematical methods for application to problems in physics.

  3. Algebraic geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_geometry

    Algebraic geometry is a branch of mathematics which uses abstract algebraic techniques, mainly from commutative algebra, to solve geometrical problems.Classically, it studies zeros of multivariate polynomials; the modern approach generalizes this in a few different aspects.

  4. Algebra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebra

    Algebra is the branch of mathematics that studies certain abstract systems, known as algebraic structures, and the manipulation of expressions within those systems. It is a generalization of arithmetic that introduces variables and algebraic operations other than the standard arithmetic operations, such as addition and multiplication.

  5. Combinatorics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combinatorics

    Algebraic combinatorics is an area of mathematics that employs methods of abstract algebra, notably group theory and representation theory, in various combinatorial contexts and, conversely, applies combinatorial techniques to problems in algebra. Algebraic combinatorics has come to be seen more expansively as an area of mathematics where the ...

  6. Geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometry

    Algebraic geometry is fundamentally the study by means of algebraic methods of some geometrical shapes, called algebraic sets, and defined as common zeros of multivariate polynomials. [105] Algebraic geometry became an autonomous subfield of geometry c. 1900 , with a theorem called Hilbert's Nullstellensatz that establishes a strong ...

  7. Perturbation theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perturbation_theory

    Perturbation theory has been used in a large number of different settings in physics and applied mathematics. Examples of the "collection of equations" include algebraic equations, [6] differential equations [7] (e.g., the equations of motion [8] and commonly wave equations), thermodynamic free energy in statistical mechanics, radiative ...

  9. Complex geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_geometry

    In mathematics, complex geometry is the study of geometric structures and constructions arising out of, or described by, the complex numbers.In particular, complex geometry is concerned with the study of spaces such as complex manifolds and complex algebraic varieties, functions of several complex variables, and holomorphic constructions such as holomorphic vector bundles and coherent sheaves.
