  2. Transcendental number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcendental_number

    For example, the square root of 2 is an irrational number, but it is not a transcendental number as it is a root of the polynomial equation x 2 − 2 = 0. The golden ratio (denoted φ {\displaystyle \varphi } or ϕ {\displaystyle \phi } ) is another irrational number that is not transcendental, as it is a root of the polynomial equation x 2 − ...

  3. Pi - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi

    The number π (/ p aɪ /; spelled out as "pi") is a mathematical constant that is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter, approximately equal to 3.14159.The number π appears in many formulae across mathematics and physics.

  4. Golden ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_ratio

    A golden rectangle with long side a + b and short side a can be divided into two pieces: a similar golden rectangle (shaded red, right) with long side a and short side b and a square (shaded blue, left) with sides of length a. This illustrates the relationship ⁠ a + b / a ⁠ = ⁠ a / b ⁠ = φ.

  5. Euler's identity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_identity

    In mathematics, Euler's identity [note 1] (also known as Euler's equation) is the equality + = where . is Euler's number, the base of natural logarithms, is the imaginary unit, which by definition satisfies =, and

  6. Proof that π is irrational - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof_that_π_is_irrational

    In the 1760s, Johann Heinrich Lambert was the first to prove that the number π is irrational, meaning it cannot be expressed as a fraction /, where and are both integers. ...

    The Unicode Standard encodes almost all standard characters used in mathematics. [1] Unicode Technical Report #25 provides comprehensive information about the character repertoire, their properties, and guidelines for implementation. [1]

  8. Square (algebra) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_(algebra)

    The square of an integer may also be called a square number or a perfect square. In algebra, the operation of squaring is often generalized to polynomials, other expressions, or values in systems of mathematical values other than the numbers. For instance, the square of the linear polynomial x + 1 is the quadratic polynomial (x + 1) 2 = x 2 ...

  9. Number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number

    This led to expressions involving the square roots of negative numbers, and eventually to the definition of a new number: a square root of −1, denoted by i, a symbol assigned by Leonhard Euler, and called the imaginary unit. The complex numbers consist of all numbers of the form + where a and b are real numbers.
