Visual proof of the Pythagorean identity: for any angle , the point (,) = (, ) lies on the unit circle, which satisfies the equation + =.Thus, + =. In mathematics, an identity is an equality relating one mathematical expression A to another mathematical expression B, such that A and B (which might contain some variables) produce the same value for all values of the variables ...
This article lists mathematical identities, that is, identically true relations holding in mathematics. Bézout's identity (despite its usual name, it is not, properly speaking, an identity) Binet-cauchy identity
List of logarithmic identities; List of mathematical functions; List of mathematical identities; List of mathematical proofs; List of misnamed theorems; List of scientific laws; List of theories; Most of the results below come from pure mathematics, but some are from theoretical physics, economics, and other applied fields.
This category is for mathematical identities, i.e. identically true relations holding in some area of algebra (including abstract algebra, or formal power series). Subcategories This category has only the following subcategory.
A left identity element that is also a right identity element if called an identity element. The empty set ∅ {\displaystyle \varnothing } is an identity element of binary union ∪ {\displaystyle \cup } and symmetric difference , {\displaystyle \triangle ,} and it is also a right identity element of set subtraction ∖ : {\displaystyle ...
Proof without words of the Nicomachus theorem (Gulley (2010)) that the sum of the first n cubes is the square of the n th triangular number. In mathematics, a proof without words (or visual proof) is an illustration of an identity or mathematical statement which can be demonstrated as self-evident by a diagram without any accompanying explanatory text.
There are two lists of mathematical identities related to vectors: Vector algebra relations — regarding operations on individual vectors such as dot product, cross product, etc. Vector calculus identities — regarding operations on vector fields such as divergence, gradient, curl, etc.
In universal algebra, a variety of algebras or equational class is the class of all algebraic structures of a given signature satisfying a given set of identities. For example, the groups form a variety of algebras, as do the abelian groups , the rings , the monoids etc.
