Scientific notation is a way of expressing numbers that are too large or too small to be conveniently written in decimal form, since to do so would require writing out an inconveniently long string of digits. It may be referred to as scientific form or standard index form, or standard form in the United Kingdom.
A vector treated as an array of numbers by writing as a row vector or column vector (whichever is used depends on convenience or context): = (), = Index notation allows indication of the elements of the array by simply writing a i, where the index i is known to run from 1 to n, because of n-dimensions. [1]
Index notation is often the clearest way to express definitions, and is used as standard in the literature. The entry in row i, column j of matrix A is indicated by (A) ij, A ij or a ij. In contrast, a single subscript, e.g. A 1, A 2, is used to select a matrix (not a matrix entry) from a collection of matrices.
4 − 5 × 6: The multiplication must be done first, and the formula has to be rearranged and calculated as −5 × 6 + 4. So ± and addition have to be used rather than subtraction. When + is pressed, the multiplication is performed. 4 × (5 + 6): The addition must be done first, so the calculation carried out is (5 + 6) × 4.
The oldest known multiplication tables were used by the Babylonians about 4000 years ago. [2] However, they used a base of 60. [2] The oldest known tables using a base of 10 are the Chinese decimal multiplication table on bamboo strips dating to about 305 BC, during China's Warring States period.

Note that, since x + y is a vector and α is a multi-index, the expression on the left is short for (x 1 + y 1) α 1 ⋯(x n + y n) α n. Leibniz formula For smooth functions f {\textstyle f} and g {\textstyle g} , ∂ α ( f g ) = ∑ ν ≤ α ( α ν ) ∂ ν f ∂ α − ν g . {\displaystyle \partial ^{\alpha }(fg)=\sum _{\nu \leq \alpha ...
Applying this to the multiplication table gives the matrix representation of the bilinear form β with respect to the given basis: [] The eigenvalues of this matrix are −3, −3, −1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 3 and 4 There are 3 negative eigenvalues (#N = 3), and six positive eigenvalues (#P = 6); meaning that the signature of β is #P − #N = 6 − 3 = +3.
The following tables list the computational complexity of various algorithms for common mathematical operations. Here, complexity refers to the time complexity of performing computations on a multitape Turing machine . [ 1 ]
