2. Elementary mathematics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elementary_mathematics

   An example is the function that relates each real number x to its square x 2. The output of a function f corresponding to an input x is denoted by f(x) (read "f of x"). In this example, if the input is −3, then the output is 9, and we may write f(−3) = 9. The input variable(s) are sometimes referred to as the argument(s) of the function.

3. Fraction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraction

   The entire fraction may be expressed as a single composition, in which case it is hyphenated, or as a number of fractions with a numerator of one, in which case they are not. (For example, two-fifths is the fraction ⁠ 2 / 5 ⁠ and two fifths is the same fraction understood as 2 instances of ⁠ 1 / 5 ⁠.) Fractions should always be ...

   The basic quantities describing a sphere (meaning a 2-sphere, a 2-dimensional surface inside 3-dimensional space) will be denoted by the following variables r {\displaystyle r} is the radius, C = 2 π r {\displaystyle C=2\pi r} is the circumference (the length of any one of its great circles ),

5. 3/2 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3/2

   3/2 may refer to: March 2 (month-day date notation) 3 February (day-month date notation) The fraction one and one half (3 ⁄ 2 = 1 + 1 ⁄ 2), or in decimal form 1.5; Perfect fifth; 3rd Battalion, 2nd Marines; A triple metre time signature; A common aspect ratio (image) Hemiola

6. Farey sequence - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farey_sequence

   Thus the first term to appear between ⁠ 1 / 3 ⁠ and ⁠ 2 / 5 ⁠ is ⁠ 3 / 8 ⁠, which appears in F 8. The total number of Farey neighbour pairs in F n is 2| F n | − 3. The Stern–Brocot tree is a data structure showing how the sequence is built up from 0 (= ⁠ 0 / 1 ⁠) and 1 (= ⁠ 1 / 1 ⁠), by taking successive mediants.

7. Linear fractional transformation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_fractional...

   An example of such linear fractional transformation is the Cayley transform, which was originally defined on the 3 × 3 real matrix ring. Linear fractional transformations are widely used in various areas of mathematics and its applications to engineering, such as classical geometry , number theory (they are used, for example, in Wiles's proof ...

8. Irreducible fraction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irreducible_fraction

   For example, ⁠ 1 / 4 ⁠, ⁠ 5 / 6 ⁠, and ⁠ −101 / 100 ⁠ are all irreducible fractions. On the other hand, ⁠ 2 / 4 ⁠ is reducible since it is equal in value to ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠, and the numerator of ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ is less than the numerator of ⁠ 2 / 4 ⁠. A fraction that is reducible can be reduced by dividing both the numerator ...

9. Mediant (mathematics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mediant_(mathematics)

   However, if the fraction 1/1 is replaced by the fraction 2/2, which is an equivalent fraction denoting the same rational number 1, the mediant of the fractions 2/2 and 1/2 is 3/4. For a stronger connection to rational numbers the fractions may be required to be reduced to lowest terms, thereby selecting unique representatives from the ...
