2. List of mathematical functions - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mathematical_functions

   Sigma function: Sums of powers of divisors of a given natural number. Euler's totient function: Number of numbers coprime to (and not bigger than) a given one. Prime-counting function: Number of primes less than or equal to a given number. Partition function: Order-independent count of ways to write a given positive integer as a sum of positive ...

3. Erdős–Ulam problem - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erdős–Ulam_problem

   In 1946, Stanislaw Ulam asked whether there exists a set of points at rational distances from each other that forms a dense subset of the Euclidean plane. [2] While the answer to this question is still open, József Solymosi and Frank de Zeeuw showed that the only irreducible algebraic curves that contain infinitely many points at rational distances are lines and circles. [3]

4. Rational number - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rational_number

   In mathematics, "rational" is often used as a noun abbreviating "rational number". The adjective rational sometimes means that the coefficients are rational numbers. For example, a rational point is a point with rational coordinates (i.e., a point whose coordinates are rational numbers); a rational matrix is a matrix of rational numbers; a rational polynomial may be a polynomial with rational ...

5. Rational reconstruction (mathematics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rational_reconstruction...

   The rational number / is unknown, and the goal of the problem is to recover it from the given information. In order for the problem to be solvable, it is necessary to assume that the modulus m {\displaystyle m} is sufficiently large relative to r {\displaystyle r} and s {\displaystyle s} .

6. Rational function - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rational_function

   In mathematics, a rational function is any function that can be defined by a rational fraction, which is an algebraic fraction such that both the numerator and the denominator are polynomials. The coefficients of the polynomials need not be rational numbers ; they may be taken in any field K .

7. Commensurability (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

   Example: Let a and b be nonzero real numbers. Then the subgroup of the real numbers R generated by a is commensurable with the subgroup generated by b if and only if the real numbers a and b are commensurable, in the sense that a/b is rational. Thus the group-theoretic notion of commensurability generalizes the concept for real numbers.
