  2. Mathematical physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_physics

    Mathematical physics refers to the development of mathematical methods for application to problems in physics. The Journal of Mathematical Physics defines the field as "the application of mathematics to problems in physics and the development of mathematical methods suitable for such applications and for the formulation of physical theories". [ 1 ]

  3. Combinatorics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combinatorics

    Algebraic combinatorics is an area of mathematics that employs methods of abstract algebra, notably group theory and representation theory, in various combinatorial contexts and, conversely, applies combinatorial techniques to problems in algebra. Algebraic combinatorics has come to be seen more expansively as an area of mathematics where the ...

  4. Algebraic geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_geometry

    Algebraic geometry is a branch of mathematics which uses abstract algebraic techniques, mainly from commutative algebra, to solve geometrical problems. Classically, it studies zeros of multivariate polynomials ; the modern approach generalizes this in a few different aspects.

  5. 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.

  6. Polynomial method in combinatorics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial_method_in...

    Recently, the polynomial method has led to the development of remarkably simple solutions to several long-standing open problems. [1] The polynomial method encompasses a wide range of specific techniques for using polynomials and ideas from areas such as algebraic geometry to solve combinatorics problems.

  7. Geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometry

    Algebraic geometry is fundamentally the study by means of algebraic methods of some geometrical shapes, called algebraic sets, and defined as common zeros of multivariate polynomials. [105] Algebraic geometry became an autonomous subfield of geometry c. 1900 , with a theorem called Hilbert's Nullstellensatz that establishes a strong ...

  8. Arithmetic geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arithmetic_geometry

    The hyperelliptic curve defined by = (+) (+) has only finitely many rational points (such as the points (,) and (,)) by Faltings's theorem.. In mathematics, arithmetic geometry is roughly the application of techniques from algebraic geometry to problems in number theory. [1]
