2. Number theory - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_theory

   Mathematics. Number theory (or arithmetic or higher arithmetic in older usage) is a branch of pure mathematics devoted primarily to the study of the integers and arithmetic functions. German mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss (1777–1855) said, "Mathematics is the queen of the sciences—and number theory is the queen of mathematics." [1]

3. Srinivasa Ramanujan - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Srinivasa_Ramanujan

   Srinivasa Ramanujan Aiyangar[a] (22 December 1887 – 26 April 1920) was an Indian mathematician. Though he had almost no formal training in pure mathematics, he made substantial contributions to mathematical analysis, number theory, infinite series, and continued fractions, including solutions to mathematical problems then considered unsolvable.

4. Transcendental number theory - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcendental_number_theory

   Noncommutative algebra. v. t. e. Transcendental number theory is a branch of number theory that investigates transcendental numbers (numbers that are not solutions of any polynomial equation with rational coefficients), in both qualitative and quantitative ways.

5. Integer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integer

   Integer. The integers arranged on a number line. An integer is the number zero (0), a positive natural number (1, 2, 3, . . .), or the negation of a positive natural number (−1, −2, −3, . . .). [1] The negations or additive inverses of the positive natural numbers are referred to as negative integers. [2]

6. Glossary of mathematical symbols - Wikipedia

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

   Glossary of mathematical symbols. 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. As formulas are entirely constituted with symbols of various ...

7. History of mathematical notation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_mathematical...

   The history of mathematical notation[ 1 ] includes the commencement, progress, and cultural diffusion of mathematical symbols and the conflict of the methods of notation confronted in a notation's move to popularity or inconspicuousness. Mathematical notation [ 2 ] comprises the symbols used to write mathematical equations and formulas.

8. Geometry of numbers - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometry_of_numbers

   Geometry of numbers is the part of number theory which uses geometry for the study of algebraic numbers. Typically, a ring of algebraic integers is viewed as a lattice in and the study of these lattices provides fundamental information on algebraic numbers. [1] The geometry of numbers was initiated by Hermann Minkowski (1910). The geometry of ...

   The Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols block (U+1D400–U+1D7FF) contains Latin and Greek letters and decimal digits that enable mathematicians to denote different notions with different letter styles. The reserved code points (the "holes") in the alphabetic ranges up to U+1D551 duplicate characters in the Letterlike Symbols block. In order ...
