  2. Scientific notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_notation

    It may be referred to as scientific form or standard index form, or standard form in the United Kingdom. This base ten notation is commonly used by scientists, mathematicians, and engineers, in part because it can simplify certain arithmetic operations. On scientific calculators, it is usually known as "SCI" display mode.

  3. Index notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Index_notation

    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.

  4. nth root - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nth_root

    The integer n is called the index or degree, and the number x of which the root is taken is the radicand. A root of degree 2 is called a square root and a root of degree 3, a cube root. Roots of higher degree are referred by using ordinal numbers, as in fourth root, twentieth root, etc. The computation of an n th root is a root extraction.

  5. Raising and lowering indices - Wikipedia

    is a non-degenerate bilinear form, that is, : is a map which is linear in both arguments, making it a bilinear form. By ϕ {\displaystyle \phi } being non-degenerate we mean that for each v ∈ V {\displaystyle v\in V} such that v ≠ 0 {\displaystyle v\neq 0} , there is a u ∈ V {\displaystyle u\in V} such that

  6. Closed-form expression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed-form_expression

    The quadratic formula =. is a closed form of the solutions to the general quadratic equation + + =. More generally, in the context of polynomial equations, a closed form of a solution is a solution in radicals; that is, a closed-form expression for which the allowed functions are only n th-roots and field operations (+,,, /).

  7. Kronecker delta - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kronecker_delta

    In mathematics, the Kronecker delta (named after Leopold Kronecker) is a function of two variables, usually just non-negative integers.The function is 1 if the variables are equal, and 0 otherwise: = {, =. or with use of Iverson brackets: = [=] For example, = because , whereas = because =.

  8. Multi-index notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-index_notation

    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 ...

    Calculator input methods: comparison of notations as used by pocket calculators; Postfix notation, also called Reverse Polish notation; Prefix notation, also called Polish notation; Shunting yard algorithm, used to convert infix notation to postfix notation or to a tree; Operator (computer programming) Subject–verb–object word order
