2. Word problem (mathematics education) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word_problem_(mathematics...

   Word problem from the Līlāvatī (12th century), with its English translation and solution. In science education, a word problem is a mathematical exercise (such as in a textbook, worksheet, or exam) where significant background information on the problem is presented in ordinary language rather than in mathematical notation.

3. Word problem (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

   The word problem for an algebra is then to determine, given two expressions (words) involving the generators and operations, whether they represent the same element of the algebra modulo the identities. The word problems for groups and semigroups can be phrased as word problems for algebras. [1]

4. Word problem for groups - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word_problem_for_groups

   The word problem was one of the first examples of an unsolvable problem to be found not in mathematical logic or the theory of algorithms, but in one of the central branches of classical mathematics, algebra. As a result of its unsolvability, several other problems in combinatorial group theory have been shown to be unsolvable as well.

5. List of undecidable problems - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_undecidable_problems

   Many, if not most, undecidable problems in mathematics can be posed as word problems: determining when two distinct strings of symbols (encoding some mathematical concept or object) represent the same object or not. For undecidability in axiomatic mathematics, see List of statements undecidable in ZFC.

6. Friendly number - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friendly_number

   A number that is not part of any friendly pair is called solitary. The abundancy index of n is the rational number σ(n) / n, in which σ denotes the sum of divisors function. A number n is a friendly number if there exists m ≠ n such that σ(m) / m = σ(n) / n. Abundancy is not the same as abundance, which is defined as σ(n) − 2n.

7. List of NP-complete problems - Wikipedia

   Dominating set, a.k.a. domination number [3]: GT2 NP-complete special cases include the edge dominating set problem, i.e., the dominating set problem in line graphs. NP-complete variants include the connected dominating set problem and the maximum leaf spanning tree problem. [3]: ND2 Feedback vertex set [2] [3]: GT7
