  2. Expression (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    A formal expression is a kind of string of symbols, created by the same production rules as standard expressions, however, they are used without regard to the meaning of the expression. In this way, two formal expressions are considered equal only if they are syntactically equal, that is, if they are the exact same expression.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_operations

    An expression like 1/2x is interpreted as 1/(2x) by TI-82, [3] as well as many modern Casio calculators [36] (configurable on some like the fx-9750GIII), but as (1/2)x by TI-83 and every other TI calculator released since 1996, [37] [3] as well as by all Hewlett-Packard calculators with algebraic notation.

    TI SR-50A, a 1975 calculator with a factorial key (third row, center right) The factorial function is a common feature in scientific calculators . [ 73 ] It is also included in scientific programming libraries such as the Python mathematical functions module [ 74 ] and the Boost C++ library . [ 75 ]

    Video: Keys pressed for calculating eight times six on a HP-32SII (employing RPN) from 1991. Reverse Polish notation (RPN), also known as reverse Łukasiewicz notation, Polish postfix notation or simply postfix notation, is a mathematical notation in which operators follow their operands, in contrast to prefix or Polish notation (PN), in which operators precede their operands.

  6. Equating coefficients - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equating_coefficients

    A similar problem, involving equating like terms rather than coefficients of like terms, arises if we wish to de-nest the nested radicals + to obtain an equivalent expression not involving a square root of an expression itself involving a square root, we can postulate the existence of rational parameters d, e such that

  7. Algebraic operation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_operation

    Algebraic operations in the solution to the quadratic equation.The radical sign √, denoting a square root, is equivalent to exponentiation to the power of ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠.The ± sign means the equation can be written with either a + or a – sign.

  8. Algebra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebra

    Some algebraic expressions take the form of statements that relate two expressions to one another. An equation is a statement formed by comparing two expressions, saying that they are equal. This can be expressed using the equals sign ( = {\displaystyle =} ), as in 5 x 2 + 6 x = 3 y + 4 {\displaystyle 5x^{2}+6x=3y+4} .

  9. Algebraic expression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_expression

    A rational algebraic expression (or rational expression) is an algebraic expression that can be written as a quotient of polynomials, such as x 2 + 4x + 4. An irrational algebraic expression is one that is not rational, such as √ x + 4.
