  2. Discrete mathematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrete_mathematics

    Graphs such as these are among the objects studied by discrete mathematics, for their interesting mathematical properties, their usefulness as models of real-world problems, and their importance in developing computer algorithms.

  3. Floppy disk - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floppy_disk

    8-inch floppy disk, inserted in drive, (3½-inch floppy diskette, in front, shown for scale) 3½-inch, high-density floppy diskettes with adhesive labels affixed The first commercial floppy disks, developed in the late 1960s, were 8 inches (203.2 mm) in diameter; [4] [5] they became commercially available in 1971 as a component of IBM products and both drives and disks were then sold ...

  4. Applied mathematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Applied_mathematics

    A numerical solution to the heat equation on a pump casing model using the finite element method.. Historically, applied mathematics consisted principally of applied analysis, most notably differential equations; approximation theory (broadly construed, to include representations, asymptotic methods, variational methods, and numerical analysis); and applied probability.

    Summa de arithmetica, geometria, proportioni et proportionalita (Summary of arithmetic, geometry, proportions and proportionality) is a book on mathematics written by Luca Pacioli and first published in 1494.

  6. Glossary of mathematical jargon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_mathematical...

    The language of mathematics has a wide vocabulary of specialist and technical terms. It also has a certain amount of jargon: commonly used phrases which are part of the culture of mathematics, rather than of the subject.

  7. Glossary of mathematical symbols - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_mathematical...

    A mathematical symbol is a figure or a combination of figures that is used to represent a mathematical object, an action on mathematical objects, a relation between mathematical objects, or for structuring the other symbols that occur in a formula.

  8. Mathematical physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_physics

    Applying the techniques of mathematical physics to classical mechanics typically involves the rigorous, abstract, and advanced reformulation of Newtonian mechanics in terms of Lagrangian mechanics and Hamiltonian mechanics (including both approaches in the presence of constraints).

  9. Mathematical model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_model

    Mathematical models can take many forms, including dynamical systems, statistical models, differential equations, or game theoretic models.These and other types of models can overlap, with a given model involving a variety of abstract structures.
