    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Morgan's_laws

    De Morgan's laws represented with Venn diagrams.In each case, the resultant set is the set of all points in any shade of blue. In propositional logic and Boolean algebra, De Morgan's laws, [1] [2] [3] also known as De Morgan's theorem, [4] are a pair of transformation rules that are both valid rules of inference.

  3. Buffon's needle problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffon's_needle_problem

    For simplicity in the algebraic formulation ahead, let a = b = t = 2l such that the original result in Buffon's problem is P(A) = P(B) = ā  1 / π ā . Furthermore, let N = 100 drops. Now let us examine P(AB) for Laplace's result, that is, the probability the needle intersects both a horizontal and a vertical line. We know that

  4. List of logic symbols - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_logic_symbols

    Corner quotes, also called “Quine quotes”; for quasi-quotation, i.e. quoting specific context of unspecified (“variable”) expressions; [3] also used for denoting Gödel number; [4] for example “āŒœGāŒ” denotes the Gödel number of G. (Typographical note: although the quotes appears as a “pair” in unicode (231C and 231D), they ...

  5. Intersection number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersection_number

    In mathematics, and especially in algebraic geometry, the intersection number generalizes the intuitive notion of counting the number of times two curves intersect to higher dimensions, multiple (more than 2) curves, and accounting properly for tangency. One needs a definition of intersection number in order to state results like Bézout's theorem

  6. Serre's multiplicity conjectures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serre's_multiplicity...

    Let R be a Noetherian, commutative, regular local ring and let P and Q be prime ideals of R. Serre defined the intersection multiplicity of R/P and R/Q by means of their Tor functors. Below, () denotes the length of the module , and we assume for the remainder of the article that

  7. Busemann–Petty problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Busemann–Petty_problem

    n, 1 < p ≤ ∞ in n-dimensional space with the l p norm are intersection bodies for n = 4 but are not intersection bodies for n ≥ 5, showing that Zhang's result was incorrect. Zhang ( 1999 ) then showed that the Busemann–Petty problem has a positive solution in dimension 4.

  8. Intersecting chords theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersecting_chords_theorem

    The value of the two products in the chord theorem depends only on the distance of the intersection point S from the circle's center and is called the absolute value of the power of S; more precisely, it can be stated that: | | | | = | | | | = where r is the radius of the circle, and d is the distance between the center of the circle and the ...

  9. Intersection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersection

    The intersection of A with any of B, C, D, or E is the empty set. In mathematics, the intersection of two or more objects is another object consisting of everything that is contained in all of the objects simultaneously. For example, in Euclidean geometry, when two lines in a plane are not parallel, their intersection is the point at
