  2. List of mathematical constants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mathematical_constants

    A mathematical constant is a key number whose value is fixed by an unambiguous definition, often referred to by a symbol (e.g., an alphabet letter), or by mathematicians' names to facilitate using it across multiple mathematical problems. [1]

  3. Constant (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    The derivative of a constant function is zero, as noted above, and the differential operator is a linear operator, so functions that only differ by a constant term have the same derivative. To acknowledge this, a constant of integration is added to an indefinite integral ; this ensures that all possible solutions are included.

    The circumference of a circle with diameter 1 is π.. A mathematical constant is a number whose value is fixed by an unambiguous definition, often referred to by a special symbol (e.g., an alphabet letter), or by mathematicians' names to facilitate using it across multiple mathematical problems. [1]

  5. Space (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    In mathematics, a space is a set (sometimes known as a universe) endowed with a structure defining the relationships among the elements of the set. A subspace is a subset of the parent space which retains the same structure.

  6. Norm (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    In mathematics, a norm is a function from a real or complex vector space to the non-negative real numbers that behaves in certain ways like the distance from the origin: it commutes with scaling, obeys a form of the triangle inequality, and is zero only at the origin.

  7. Equicontinuity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equicontinuity

    In mathematical analysis, a family of functions is equicontinuous if all the functions are continuous and they have equal variation over a given neighbourhood, in a precise sense described herein. In particular, the concept applies to countable families, and thus sequences of functions.

  8. Generic property - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generic_property

    Here C r is the function space whose members are continuous functions with r continuous derivatives from a manifold M to a manifold N. The space C r (M, N), of C r mappings between M and N, is a Baire space, hence any residual set is dense. This property of the function space is what makes generic properties typical.

    e (mathematical constant) The number e is a mathematical constant that is the base of the natural logarithm: the unique number whose natural logarithm is equal to one. It is approximately equal to 2.71828, [34] and is the limit of (1 + 1/n) n as n approaches infinity, an expression that arises in the study of compound interest.
