    Let (,) be an integral kernel, and consider the homogeneous equation, the Fredholm integral equation, (,) =and the inhomogeneous equation (,) = ().The Fredholm alternative is the statement that, for every non-zero fixed complex number, either the first equation has a non-trivial solution, or the second equation has a solution for all ().

  3. Mathematics education in the United States - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematics_education_in...

    As previously stated, American children usually follow a unique sequence of mathematics courses in secondary school (grades 6 to 12), learning one subject at a time. They take two years of Algebra punctuated by a year of Geometry. Geometry, hitherto a collegiate course, was introduced into high schools in the nineteenth century.

  4. Algebra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebra

    Algebra is the branch of mathematics that studies certain abstract systems, known as algebraic structures, and the manipulation of expressions within those systems. It is a generalization of arithmetic that introduces variables and algebraic operations other than the standard arithmetic operations, such as addition and multiplication.

  9. Elementary algebra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elementary_algebra

    In words: the child is 4 years old. The general form of a linear equation with one variable, can be written as: a x + b = c {\displaystyle ax+b=c} Following the same procedure (i.e. subtract b from both sides, and then divide by a ), the general solution is given by x = c − b a {\displaystyle x={\frac {c-b}{a}}}
