    Piphilology comprises the creation and use of mnemonic techniques to remember many digits of the mathematical constant π.The word is a play on the word "pi" itself and of the linguistic field of philology.

  3. Order of operations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_operations

    In mathematics and computer programming, the order of operations is a collection of rules that reflect conventions about which operations to perform first in order to evaluate a given mathematical expression. These rules are formalized with a ranking of the operations.

  4. Mathematical notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_notation

    Mathematical notation is widely used in mathematics, science, and engineering for representing complex concepts and properties in a concise, unambiguous, and accurate way. For example, the physicist Albert Einstein 's formula E = m c 2 {\displaystyle E=mc^{2}} is the quantitative representation in mathematical notation of mass–energy ...

    Once upon a time, the symbol E (for electromotive force) was used to designate voltages. Then, every student learned the phrase ELI the ICE man as a reminder that: For an inductive (L) circuit, the EMF (E) is ahead of the current (I)

    Speakers of non-rhotic accents, as in much of Australia, England, New Zealand, and Wales, will pronounce the second syllable [fəd], those with the father–bother merger, as in much of the US and Canada, will pronounce the first syllable [ˈɑːks], and those with the cot–caught merger but without the father–bother merger, as in Scotland ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Order_of_operations

    Of course the article has to mention parentheses, and does. My point is that parentheses are a symbol of grouping, not an operation, and that PEDMAS is a mnemonic, not a rule of mathematics. Rick Norwood 09:52, 13 April 2023 (UTC) Agree that the definition subsection is not the proper place to introduce the PEMDAS mnemonic.

    The chain rule is a formula for computing the derivative of the composition of two or more functions. That is, if f and g are functions, then the chain rule expresses the derivative of their composition f ∘ g (the function which maps x to f(g(x)) ) in terms of the derivatives of f and g and the product of functions as follows:

  9. Sprouts (game) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprouts_(game)

    This game is finite, and the total number of moves (and thus the game's winner) is predetermined by the initial number of crosses: the players cannot affect the result by their play. Thus, this variant may be termed, after Conway's categorisation of mathematics itself, a "one player game". Each move removes two free ends and introduces two more.
