    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farkas'_lemma

    Thus, Farkas' lemma can be viewed as a theorem of logical completeness: is a set of "axioms", the linear combinations are the "derivation rules", and the lemma says that, if the set of axioms is inconsistent, then it can be refuted using the derivation rules. [8]: 92–94

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_linear_group

    In mathematics, the general linear group of degree n is the set of n×n invertible matrices, together with the operation of ordinary matrix multiplication.This forms a group, because the product of two invertible matrices is again invertible, and the inverse of an invertible matrix is invertible, with the identity matrix as the identity element of the group.

    P. Oxy. 29, one of the oldest surviving fragments of Euclid's Elements, a textbook used for millennia to teach proof-writing techniques. The diagram accompanies Book II, Proposition 5. [1] A mathematical proof is a deductive argument for a mathematical statement, showing that the stated assumptions logically guarantee the

  7. Lagrange's identity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagrange's_identity

    Lagrange's identity for complex numbers has been obtained from a straightforward product identity. A derivation for the reals is obviously even more succinct. Since the Cauchy–Schwarz inequality is a particular case of Lagrange's identity, [4] this proof is yet another way to obtain the CS inequality. Higher order terms in the series produce ...

    Manin published a proof in 1963, but Coleman (1990) found and corrected a gap in the proof. In 1973 Britton published a 282-page attempted solution of Burnside's problem. In his proof he assumed the existence of a set of parameters satisfying some inequalities, but Adian pointed out that these inequalities were inconsistent.

  9. Polarization identity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarization_identity

    In linear algebra, a branch of mathematics, the polarization identity is any one of a family of formulas that express the inner product of two vectors in terms of the norm of a normed vector space. If a norm arises from an inner product then the polarization identity can be used to express this inner product entirely in terms of the norm. The ...
