Re – real part of a complex number. [2] (Also written.) resp – respectively. RHS – right-hand side of an equation. rk – rank. (Also written as rank.) RMS, rms – root mean square. rng – non-unital ring. rot – rotor of a vector field. (Also written as curl.) rowsp – row space of a matrix. RTP – required to prove.
A mathematical symbol is a figure or a combination of figures that is used to represent a mathematical object, an action on mathematical objects, a relation between mathematical objects, or for structuring the other symbols that occur in a formula.
The language of mathematics has a wide vocabulary of specialist and technical terms. It also has a certain amount of jargon: commonly used phrases which are part of the culture of mathematics, rather than of the subject.
Time-keeping on this clock uses arithmetic modulo 12. Adding 4 hours to 9 o'clock gives 1 o'clock, since 13 is congruent to 1 modulo 12. In mathematics , modular arithmetic is a system of arithmetic for integers , where numbers "wrap around" when reaching a certain value, called the modulus .
A frequency distribution shows a summarized grouping of data divided into mutually exclusive classes and the number of occurrences in a class. It is a way of showing unorganized data notably to show results of an election, income of people for a certain region, sales of a product within a certain period, student loan amounts of graduates, etc.
The quotient is also less commonly defined as the greatest whole number of times a divisor may be subtracted from a dividend—before making the remainder negative. For example, the divisor 3 may be subtracted up to 6 times from the dividend 20, before the remainder becomes negative: 20 − 3 − 3 − 3 − 3 − 3 − 3 ≥ 0, while
Give me a number, and if you are happy, I'm happy.” This stands in stark contrast with a nearby vacant unit, which used to house a T-Mobile shop. The $15,000 a month property sits empty.
The simplest example given by Thimbleby of a possible problem when using an immediate-execution calculator is 4 × (−5). As a written formula the value of this is −20 because the minus sign is intended to indicate a negative number, rather than a subtraction, and this is the way that it would be interpreted by a formula calculator.
