  2. Identity (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    Visual proof of the Pythagorean identity: for any angle , the point (,) = (⁡, ⁡) lies on the unit circle, which satisfies the equation + =.Thus, ⁡ + ⁡ =. In mathematics, an identity is an equality relating one mathematical expression A to another mathematical expression B, such that A and B (which might contain some variables) produce the same value for all values of the variables ...

  3. Quotient group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quotient_group

    Indeed, if is not closed then the quotient space is not a T1-space (since there is a coset in the quotient which cannot be separated from the identity by an open set), and thus not a Hausdorff space. For a non-normal Lie subgroup ⁠ N {\displaystyle N} ⁠ , the space G / N {\displaystyle G\,/\,N} of left cosets is not a group, but simply a ...

  4. List of logarithmic identities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_logarithmic_identities

    The identity involving the limiting difference between harmonic numbers at scaled indices and its relationship to the logarithmic function provides an intriguing example of how discrete sequences can asymptotically relate to continuous functions. This identity is expressed as [8]

  5. Complex number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_number

    For example, the equation (+) = has no real solution, because the square of a real number cannot be negative, but has the two nonreal complex solutions + and . Addition, subtraction and multiplication of complex numbers can be naturally defined by using the rule i 2 = − 1 {\displaystyle i^{2}=-1} along with the associative , commutative , and ...

  6. Monoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monoid

    The identity element is a constant function mapping any value to the identity of M; the associative operation is defined pointwise. Fix a monoid M with the operation • and identity element e, and consider its power set P(M) consisting of all subsets of M. A binary operation for such subsets can be defined by S • T = { s • t : s ∈ S, t ...

  7. Multiplicative group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplicative_group

    The group scheme of n-th roots of unity is by definition the kernel of the n-power map on the multiplicative group GL(1), considered as a group scheme.That is, for any integer n > 1 we can consider the morphism on the multiplicative group that takes n-th powers, and take an appropriate fiber product of schemes, with the morphism e that serves as the identity.

  8. Imaginary unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imaginary_unit

    The quotient of a vector with itself is the scalar 1 = u/u, and when multiplied by any vector leaves it unchanged (the identity transformation). The quotient of any two perpendicular vectors of the same magnitude, J = u/v, which when multiplied rotates the divisor a quarter turn into the dividend, Jv = u, is a unit bivector which squares to − ...

  9. Identity function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identity_function

    Graph of the identity function on the real numbers. In mathematics, an identity function, also called an identity relation, identity map or identity transformation, is a function that always returns the value that was used as its argument, unchanged. That is, when f is the identity function, the equality f(x) = x is true for all values of x to ...
