  2. Fallacy of the undistributed middle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallacy_of_the...

    The first term is distributed in A statements; the second is distributed in O statements; both are distributed in "E" statements, and none are distributed in I statements. The fallacy of the undistributed middle occurs when the term that links the two premises is never distributed. In this example, distribution is marked in boldface: All Z is B

  3. Difference of two squares - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Difference_of_two_squares

    A simple example is the Fermat factorization method, which considers the sequence of numbers :=, for := ⌈ ⌉ +. If one of the x i {\displaystyle x_{i}} equals a perfect square b 2 {\displaystyle b^{2}} , then N = a i 2 − b 2 = ( a i + b ) ( a i − b ) {\displaystyle N=a_{i}^{2}-b^{2}=(a_{i}+b)(a_{i}-b)} is a (potentially non-trivial ...

  4. Factorization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factorization

    In mathematics, factorization (or factorisation, see English spelling differences) or factoring consists of writing a number or another mathematical object as a product of several factors, usually smaller or simpler objects of the same kind. For example, 3 × 5 is an integer factorization of 15, and (x – 2)(x + 2) is a polynomial ...

  5. Split exact sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split_exact_sequence

    The term split exact sequence is used in two different ways by different people. Some people mean a short exact sequence that right-splits (thus corresponding to a semidirect product) and some people mean a short exact sequence that left-splits (which implies it right-splits, and corresponds to a direct product).

  6. Factorization of polynomials over finite fields - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factorization_of...

    The theory of finite fields, whose origins can be traced back to the works of Gauss and Galois, has played a part in various branches of mathematics.Due to the applicability of the concept in other topics of mathematics and sciences like computer science there has been a resurgence of interest in finite fields and this is partly due to important applications in coding theory and cryptography.

  7. Matrix decomposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_decomposition

    In the mathematical discipline of linear algebra, a matrix decomposition or matrix factorization is a factorization of a matrix into a product of matrices. There are many different matrix decompositions; each finds use among a particular class of problems.

  8. Factorization of polynomials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factorization_of_polynomials

    This factorization is also unique up to the choice of a sign. For example, + + + = + + + is a factorization into content and primitive part. Gauss proved that the product of two primitive polynomials is also primitive (Gauss's lemma). This implies that a primitive polynomial is irreducible over the rationals if and only if it is irreducible ...

  9. LU decomposition - Wikipedia

    If is invertible, then it admits an LU (or LDU) factorization if and only if all its leading principal minors [7] are nonzero [8] (for example [] does not admit an LU or LDU factorization). If A {\textstyle A} is a singular matrix of rank k {\textstyle k} , then it admits an LU factorization if the first k {\textstyle k} leading principal ...
