    We first fix definitions: is a finite-dimensional vector space over a field . Typically K = R {\displaystyle K=\mathbb {R} } or C {\displaystyle \mathbb {C} } . ϕ {\displaystyle \phi } is a non-degenerate bilinear form, that is, ϕ : V × V → K {\displaystyle \phi :V\times V\rightarrow K} is a map which is linear in both arguments, making it ...

    There is a large theory of special functions which developed out of statistics and mathematical physics. A modern, abstract point of view contrasts large function spaces , which are infinite-dimensional and within which most functions are 'anonymous', with special functions picked out by properties such as symmetry , or relationship to harmonic ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nth_root

    In mathematics, an n th root of a number x is a number r which, when raised to the power of n, yields x: = ⏟ =. The positive integer n is called the index or degree, and the number x of which the root is taken is the radicand.
