  2. Mathematical Tripos - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_Tripos

    During the undergraduate part of the course, students are expected to attend around 12 one-hour lectures per week on average, together with two supervisions. Supervisions are informal sessions in which a small group of students—normally a pair—goes through previously completed example sheets under the guidance of a faculty member, college ...

  3. Modulo (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    Modulo is a mathematical jargon that was introduced into mathematics in the book Disquisitiones Arithmeticae by Carl Friedrich Gauss in 1801. [3] Given the integers a, b and n, the expression "a ≡ b (mod n)", pronounced "a is congruent to b modulo n", means that a − b is an integer multiple of n, or equivalently, a and b both share the same remainder when divided by n.

  4. Mathematical constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_constant

    The circumference of a circle with diameter 1 is π.. A mathematical constant is a number whose value is fixed by an unambiguous definition, often referred to by a special symbol (e.g., an alphabet letter), or by mathematicians' names to facilitate using it across multiple mathematical problems. [1]

  6. Peano axioms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peano_axioms

    Axioms 1, 6, 7, 8 define a unary representation of the intuitive notion of natural numbers: the number 1 can be defined as S(0), 2 as S(S(0)), etc. However, considering the notion of natural numbers as being defined by these axioms, axioms 1, 6, 7, 8 do not imply that the successor function generates all the natural numbers different from 0.

  7. Discrete mathematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrete_mathematics

    Computational geometry has been an important part of the computer graphics incorporated into modern video games and computer-aided design tools. Several fields of discrete mathematics, particularly theoretical computer science, graph theory, and combinatorics , are important in addressing the challenging bioinformatics problems associated with ...

  8. Solution of triangles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solution_of_triangles

    To find the angles α, β, the law of cosines can be used: [3] = ⁡ + = ⁡ +. Then angle γ = 180° − α − β . Some sources recommend to find angle β from the law of sines but (as Note 1 above states) there is a risk of confusing an acute angle value with an obtuse one.

    [3] [2] BAC levels above 0.40% (4 g/L) can be potentially fatal. [1] According to Guinness World Records, 1.374% (13.74 g/L) is the highest BAC ever recorded in a human who survived the ordeal. [4] The record was set in July 2013 by an unidentified Polish man found unconscious by the side of a road in the village of Tarnowska Wola, in south ...
