  2. Polynomial expansion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial_expansion

    In mathematics, an expansion of a product of sums expresses it as a sum of products by using the fact that multiplication distributes over addition. Expansion of a polynomial expression can be obtained by repeatedly replacing subexpressions that multiply two other subexpressions, at least one of which is an addition, by the equivalent sum of products, continuing until the expression becomes a ...

  3. Collatz conjecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collatz_conjecture

    For any integer n, n ≡ 1 (mod 2) if and only if 3n + 1 ≡ 4 (mod 6). Equivalently, ⁠ n − 1 / 3 ⁠ ≡ 1 (mod 2) if and only if n ≡ 4 (mod 6). Conjecturally, this inverse relation forms a tree except for the 1–24 loop (the inverse of the 42–1 loop of the unaltered function f defined in the Statement of the problem section of ...

  4. Binomial coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_coefficient

    On the other hand, if such a tiling uses exactly k of the 2 × 1 tiles, then it uses n − 2k of the 1 × 1 tiles, and so uses n − k tiles total. There are ( n − k k ) {\displaystyle {\tbinom {n-k}{k}}} ways to order these tiles, and so summing this coefficient over all possible values of k gives the identity.

  5. Parity (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    That is, if the last digit is 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9, then it is odd; otherwise it is even—as the last digit of any even number is 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8. The same idea will work using any even base. In particular, a number expressed in the binary numeral system is odd if its last digit is 1; and it is even if its last digit is 0.

  6. Log-normal distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Log-normal_distribution

    A probability distribution is not uniquely determined by the moments E[X n] = e nμ + ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ n 2 σ 2 for n ≥ 1. That is, there exist other distributions with the same set of moments. [4] In fact, there is a whole family of distributions with the same moments as the log-normal distribution. [citation needed]

  7. Logistic regression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logistic_regression

    Logistic regression is used in various fields, including machine learning, most medical fields, and social sciences. For example, the Trauma and Injury Severity Score (), which is widely used to predict mortality in injured patients, was originally developed by Boyd et al. using logistic regression. [6]

  8. Pythagorean theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagorean_theorem

    Given a triangle with sides of length a, b, and c, if a 2 + b 2 = c 2, then the angle between sides a and b is a right angle. For any three positive real numbers a , b , and c such that a 2 + b 2 = c 2 , there exists a triangle with sides a , b and c as a consequence of the converse of the triangle inequality .

  9. Natural logarithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_logarithm

    The natural logarithm of a number is its logarithm to the base of the mathematical constant e, which is an irrational and transcendental number approximately equal to 2.718 281 828 459. [1] The natural logarithm of x is generally written as ln x , log e x , or sometimes, if the base e is implicit, simply log x .
