  2. Rational root theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rational_root_theorem

    The theorem is used to find all rational roots of a polynomial, if any. It gives a finite number of possible fractions which can be checked to see if they are roots. If a rational root x = r is found, a linear polynomial ( x – r ) can be factored out of the polynomial using polynomial long division , resulting in a polynomial of lower degree ...

  3. Proof sketch for Gödel's first incompleteness theorem

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof_sketch_for_Gödel's...

    Gödel's theorem applies to any formal theory that satisfies certain properties. Each formal theory has a signature that specifies the nonlogical symbols in the language of the theory. For simplicity, we will assume that the language of the theory is composed from the following collection of 15 (and only 15) symbols: A constant symbol 0 for zero.

  4. Zero of a function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_of_a_function

    In various areas of mathematics, the zero set of a function is the set of all its zeros. More precisely, if f : X → R {\displaystyle f:X\to \mathbb {R} } is a real-valued function (or, more generally, a function taking values in some additive group ), its zero set is f − 1 ( 0 ) {\displaystyle f^{-1}(0)} , the inverse image of { 0 ...

  5. Hilbert's Nullstellensatz - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilbert's_Nullstellensatz

    In mathematics, Hilbert's Nullstellensatz (German for "theorem of zeros", or more literally, "zero-locus-theorem") is a theorem that establishes a fundamental relationship between geometry and algebra. This relationship is the basis of algebraic geometry. It relates algebraic sets to ideals in polynomial rings over algebraically closed fields.

  6. Root-finding algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root-finding_algorithm

    In numerical analysis, a root-finding algorithm is an algorithm for finding zeros, also called "roots", of continuous functions. A zero of a function f is a number x such that f(x) = 0. As, generally, the zeros of a function cannot be computed exactly nor expressed in closed form, root-finding

  7. Partial fraction decomposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial_fraction_decomposition

    In algebra, the partial fraction decomposition or partial fraction expansion of a rational fraction (that is, a fraction such that the numerator and the denominator are both polynomials) is an operation that consists of expressing the fraction as a sum of a polynomial (possibly zero) and one or several fractions with a simpler denominator.

  8. Bézout's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bézout's_theorem

    Bézout's theorem is a statement in algebraic geometry concerning the number of common zeros of n polynomials in n indeterminates. In its original form the theorem states that in general the number of common zeros equals the product of the degrees of the polynomials. [1] It is named after Étienne Bézout.

  9. Polynomial root-finding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial_root-finding

    The second step applies the Gauss-Newton algorithm to solve the overdetermined system for the distinct roots. The sensitivity of multiple roots can be regularized due to a geometric property of multiple roots discovered by William Kahan (1972) and the overdetermined system model ( ∗ ) {\displaystyle (*)} maintains the multiplicities m 1 ...
