  2. Weak formulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weak_formulation

    In a weak formulation, equations or conditions are no longer required to hold absolutely (and this is not even well defined) and has instead weak solutions only with respect to certain "test vectors" or "test functions". In a strong formulation, the solution space is constructed such that these equations or conditions are already fulfilled.

  3. Word problem (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word_problem_(mathematics)

    For example one might decide that is the normal form of () /, (/), and (/), and devise a transformation system to rewrite those expressions to that form, in the process proving that all equivalent expressions will be rewritten to the same normal form. [2] But not all solutions to the word problem use a normal form theorem - there are algebraic ...

  4. Wide Range Achievement Test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wide_Range_Achievement_Test

    The Wide Range Achievement Test, currently in its fifth edition (WRAT5), is an achievement test which measures an individual's ability to read words, comprehend sentences, spell, and compute solutions to math problems. [1] The test is appropriate for individuals aged 5 years through adult.

  5. Fifth power (algebra) - Wikipedia

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

    For any integer n, the last decimal digit of n 5 is the same as the last (decimal) digit of n, i.e. ()By the Abel–Ruffini theorem, there is no general algebraic formula (formula expressed in terms of radical expressions) for the solution of polynomial equations containing a fifth power of the unknown as their highest power.

  6. Hilbert's fifth problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilbert's_fifth_problem

    In this form the problem was solved by Montgomery–Zippin and Gleason. A stronger interpretation (viewing G as a transformation group rather than an abstract group) results in the Hilbert–Smith conjecture about group actions on manifolds, which in full generality is still open.

  7. Limit of a function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limit_of_a_function

    At the 1908 international congress of mathematics F. Riesz introduced an alternate way defining limits and continuity in concept called "nearness". [26] A point x is defined to be near a set A ⊆ R {\displaystyle A\subseteq \mathbb {R} } if for every r > 0 there is a point a ∈ A so that | x − a | < r .

  8. Moving sofa problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moving_sofa_problem

    The Hammersley sofa has area 2.2074 but is not the largest solution Gerver's sofa of area 2.2195 with 18 curve sections A telephone handset, a closer match than a sofa to Gerver's shape. A lower bound on the sofa constant can be proven by finding a specific shape of a high area and a path for moving it through the corner.

  9. Quintic function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quintic_function

    An example of a more complicated (although small enough to be written here) solution is the unique real root of x 5 − 5x + 12 = 0. Let a = √ 2φ −1, b = √ 2φ, and c = 4 √ 5, where φ = ⁠ 1+ √ 5 / 2 ⁠ is the golden ratio. Then the only real solution x = −1.84208... is given by
