  2. AP Precalculus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AP_Precalculus

    In this course, students study a broad spectrum of function types that are foundational for careers in mathematics, physics, biology, health science, social science, and data science. Furthermore, as AP Precalculus may be the last mathematics course of a student's secondary education, the course is structured to provide a coherent capstone ...

  3. Mathematics education in the United States - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematics_education_in...

    A typical sequence of secondary-school (grades 6 to 12) courses in mathematics reads: Pre-Algebra (7th or 8th grade), Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, Pre-calculus, and Calculus or Statistics. However, some students enroll in integrated programs [3] while many complete high school without passing Calculus or Statistics.

  4. Algebraic variety - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_variety

    [16]: 52 [1]: 4 Every nonempty affine algebraic set may be written uniquely as a finite union of algebraic varieties (where none of the varieties in the decomposition is a subvariety of any other). [1]: 5 The dimension of a variety may be defined in various equivalent ways. See Dimension of an algebraic variety for details.

  5. Mathematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematics

    Mathematics has a remarkable ability to cross cultural boundaries and time periods. As a human activity, the practice of mathematics has a social side, which includes education, careers, recognition, popularization, and so on. In education, mathematics is a core part of the curriculum and forms an important element of the STEM academic disciplines.

  6. Electromagnetic spectrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_spectrum

    The Sun emits its peak power in the visible region, although integrating the entire emission power spectrum through all wavelengths shows that the Sun emits slightly more infrared than visible light. [16] By definition, visible light is the part of the EM spectrum the human eye is the most sensitive to. Visible light (and near-infrared light ...

  7. Self-adjoint operator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-adjoint_operator

    In mathematics, a self-adjoint operator on a complex vector space V with inner product , is a linear map A (from V to itself) that is its own adjoint. That is, A x , y = x , A y {\displaystyle \langle Ax,y\rangle =\langle x,Ay\rangle } for all x , y {\displaystyle x,y} ∊ V .

  8. Hilbert space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilbert_space

    In mathematics, a Hilbert space (named for David Hilbert) generalizes the notion of Euclidean space. It extends the methods of linear algebra and calculus from the two-dimensional Euclidean plane and three-dimensional space to spaces with any finite or infinite number of dimensions.

  9. Teaching method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teaching_method

    A teaching method is a set of principles and methods used by teachers to enable student learning.These strategies are determined partly by the subject matter to be taught, partly by the relative expertise of the learners, and partly by constraints caused by the learning environment. [1]
