  2. Basis (linear algebra) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basis_(linear_algebra)

    The same vector can be represented in two different bases (purple and red arrows). In mathematics, a set B of vectors in a vector space V is called a basis (pl.: bases) if every element of V may be written in a unique way as a finite linear combination of elements of B.

  3. Mathematics and art - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematics_and_art

    Mathematics and art are related in a variety of ways. Mathematics has itself been described as an art motivated by beauty. Mathematics can be discerned in arts such as music, dance, painting, architecture, sculpture, and textiles. This article focuses, however, on mathematics in the visual arts. Mathematics and art have a long historical ...

  4. Topology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topology

    A three-dimensional model of a figure-eight knot.The figure-eight knot is a prime knot and has an Alexander–Briggs notation of 4 1.. Topology (from the Greek words τόπος, 'place, location', and λόγος, 'study') is the branch of mathematics concerned with the properties of a geometric object that are preserved under continuous deformations, such as stretching, twisting, crumpling ...

  5. Basis function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basis_function

    In mathematics, a basis function is an element of a particular basis for a function space.Every function in the function space can be represented as a linear combination of basis functions, just as every vector in a vector space can be represented as a linear combination of basis vectors.

  6. Fractal - Wikipedia

    Sierpiński Carpet - Infinite perimeter and zero area Mandelbrot set at islands The Mandelbrot set: its boundary is a fractal curve with Hausdorff dimension 2. (Note that the colored sections of the image are not actually part of the Mandelbrot Set, but rather they are based on how quickly the function that produces it diverges.)

  7. Art - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art

    The more recent and specific sense of the word art as an abbreviation for creative art or fine art emerged in the early 17th century. [18] Fine art refers to a skill used to express the artist's creativity, or to engage the audience's aesthetic sensibilities, or to draw the audience towards consideration of more refined or finer works of art.

  8. Shape and form (visual arts) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shape_and_form_(visual_arts)

    A form is an artist's way of using elements of art, principles of design, and media. Form, as an element of art, is three-dimensional and encloses space. Like a shape, a form has length and width, but it also has depth. Forms are either geometric or free-form, and can be symmetrical or asymmetrical.

  9. Definitions of mathematics - Wikipedia

    Mathematics is the art of giving the same name to different things. [10] Henri Poincaré Mathematics is the science of skillful operations with concepts and rules invented just for this purpose.
