  2. Mathematical notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_notation

    Mathematical notation is widely used in mathematics, science, and engineering for representing complex concepts and properties in a concise, unambiguous, and accurate way. For example, the physicist Albert Einstein's formula = is the quantitative representation in mathematical notation of mass–energy equivalence. [1]

    2. Equivalence class: given an equivalence relation, [] often denotes the equivalence class of the element x. 3. Integral part: if x is a real number, [] often denotes the integral part or truncation of x, that is, the integer obtained by removing all digits after the decimal mark.

  4. Representation (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    In mathematics, a representation is a very general relationship that expresses similarities (or equivalences) between mathematical objects or structures.Roughly speaking, a collection Y of mathematical objects may be said to represent another collection X of objects, provided that the properties and relationships existing among the representing objects y i conform, in some consistent way, to ...

    Symbolic integration of the algebraic function f(x) = ⁠ x / √ x 4 + 10x 2 − 96x − 71 ⁠ using the computer algebra system Axiom. In mathematics and computer science, [1] computer algebra, also called symbolic computation or algebraic computation, is a scientific area that refers to the study and development of algorithms and software for manipulating mathematical expressions and other ...

  6. Symbolic language (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Symbolic_language_(mathematics)

    In mathematics, a symbolic language is a language that uses characters or symbols to represent concepts, such as mathematical operations, expressions, and statements, and the entities or operands on which the operations are performed.

  7. History of mathematical notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_mathematical...

    Many areas of mathematics began with the study of real world problems, before the underlying rules and concepts were identified and defined as abstract structures.For example, geometry has its origins in the calculation of distances and areas in the real world; algebra started with methods of solving problems in arithmetic.

    ad – adjoint representation (or adjoint action) of a Lie group. adj – adjugate of a matrix. a.e. – almost everywhere. AFSOC - Assume for the sake of contradiction; Ai – Airy function. AL – Action limit. Alt – alternating group (Alt(n) is also written as A n.) A.M. – arithmetic mean. AP – arithmetic progression. arccos ...

  9. Expression (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    Representation of the expression (8 − 6) × (3 + 1) as a Lisp tree, from a 1985 Master's Thesis [44] Except for numbers and variables, every mathematical expression may be viewed as the symbol of an operator followed by a sequence of operands. In computer algebra software, the expressions are usually represented in this way.
