  2. Four fours - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_fours

    Here is a set of four fours solutions for the numbers 0 through 32, using typical rules. Some alternate solutions are listed here, although there are actually many more correct solutions. The entries in blue are those that use four integers 4 (rather than four digits 4) and the basic arithmetic operations. Numbers without blue entries have no ...

  3. Operation (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    Binary operations, on the other hand, take two values, and include addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and exponentiation. [4] Operations can involve mathematical objects other than numbers. The logical values true and false can be combined using logic operations, such as and, or, and not. Vectors can be added and subtracted. [5]

  4. List of mathematical functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mathematical_functions

    Algebraic functions are functions that can be expressed as the solution of a polynomial equation with integer coefficients. Polynomials: Can be generated solely by addition, multiplication, and raising to the power of a positive integer. Constant function: polynomial of degree zero, graph is a horizontal straight line

  5. Order of operations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_operations

    The order of operations, that is, the order in which the operations in an expression are usually performed, results from a convention adopted throughout mathematics, science, technology and many computer programming languages. It is summarized as: [2] [5] Parentheses; Exponentiation; Multiplication and division; Addition and subtraction

  6. Algebraic operation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_operation

    In mathematics, a basic algebraic operation is any one of the common operations of elementary algebra, which include addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, raising to a whole number power, and taking roots (fractional power). [1] These operations may be performed on numbers, in which case they are often called arithmetic operations.

  7. Elementary arithmetic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elementary_arithmetic

    Elementary arithmetic is a branch of mathematics involving addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Due to its low level of abstraction, broad range of application, and position as the foundation of all mathematics, elementary arithmetic is generally the first branch of mathematics taught in schools. [1] [2]

  8. How to Solve It - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_to_Solve_It

    Pólya's book has had a large influence on mathematics textbooks as evidenced by the bibliographies for mathematics education. [ 28 ] Russian inventor Genrich Altshuller developed an elaborate set of methods for problem solving known as TRIZ , which in many aspects reproduces or parallels Pólya's work.
