  2. Absolute value (algebra) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_value_(algebra)

    The standard absolute value on the integers. The standard absolute value on the complex numbers.; The p-adic absolute value on the rational numbers.; If R is the field of rational functions over a field F and () is a fixed irreducible polynomial over F, then the following defines an absolute value on R: for () in R define | | to be , where () = () and ((), ()) = = ((), ()).

  3. Template:Absolute value - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Absolute_value

    This template may be used to enclose text between two vertical bars (U+007C | VERTICAL LINE), such as to denote the absolute value. It adds padding (of width 0.1 em) on each side inside the bars. It adds padding (of width 0.1 em) on each side inside the bars.

  4. Absolute value - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_value

    In 1806, Jean-Robert Argand introduced the term module, meaning unit of measure in French, specifically for the complex absolute value, [1] [2] and it was borrowed into English in 1866 as the Latin equivalent modulus. [1] The term absolute value has been used in this sense from at least 1806 in French [3] and 1857 in English. [4] The notation ...

    Absolute zero, the lowest limit of the thermodynamic temperature scale; Absolute magnitude, a measure of the luminosity of a celestial object; Relative change and difference, used to compare two quantities taking into account the "sizes" of the things being compared; Absolute (disambiguation) Number (disambiguation)

  6. Abscissa and ordinate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abscissa_and_ordinate

    More technically, the abscissa of a point is the signed measure of its projection on the primary axis. Its absolute value is the distance between the projection and the origin of the axis, and its sign is given by the location on the projection relative to the origin (before: negative; after: positive). Similarly, the ordinate of a point is the ...

  7. Absolutely integrable function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolutely_integrable_function

    Then | | + + + + + | | so | | + + + + + | | This shows that the sum of the four integrals (in the middle) is finite if and only if the integral of the absolute value is finite, and the function is Lebesgue integrable only if all the four integrals are finite. So having a finite integral of the absolute value is equivalent to the conditions for ...

  8. Absolute difference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_difference

    The absolute difference is used to define other quantities including the relative difference, the L 1 norm used in taxicab geometry, and graceful labelings in graph theory. When it is desirable to avoid the absolute value function – for example because it is expensive to compute, or because its derivative is not continuous – it can ...

  9. Absolute value (disambiguation) - Wikipedia

    Absolute value may also refer to: Absolute value (algebra), a generalization of the absolute value of a real number; Absolute value theorem in mathematics, also known as the "squeeze theorem" Absolute Value, the second full-length album by rapper Akrobatik; Absolute value (ethics), a philosophical absolute independent of individual and cultural ...
