  2. Generalized trigonometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalized_trigonometry

    Ordinary trigonometry studies triangles in the Euclidean plane ⁠ ⁠.There are a number of ways of defining the ordinary Euclidean geometric trigonometric functions on real numbers, for example right-angled triangle definitions, unit circle definitions, series definitions [broken anchor], definitions via differential equations [broken anchor], and definitions using functional equations.

  3. Hypergeometric function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypergeometric_function

    Furthermore, in the case of λ=1/p, μ=1/q and ν=1/r for integers p, q, r, then the triangle tiles the sphere, the complex plane or the upper half plane according to whether λ + μ + ν – 1 is positive, zero or negative; and the s-maps are inverse functions of automorphic functions for the triangle group 〈p, q, r〉 = Δ(p, q, r).

  4. Lester's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lester's_theorem

    In 2000, Bernard Gibert proposed a generalization of the Lester Theorem involving the Kiepert hyperbola of a triangle. His result can be stated as follows: Every circle with a diameter that is a chord of the Kiepert hyperbola and perpendicular to the triangle's Euler line passes through the Fermat points.

  5. Sine and cosine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sine_and_cosine

    In mathematics, sine and cosine are trigonometric functions of an angle.The sine and cosine of an acute angle are defined in the context of a right triangle: for the specified angle, its sine is the ratio of the length of the side that is opposite that angle to the length of the longest side of the triangle (the hypotenuse), and the cosine is the ratio of the length of the adjacent leg to that ...

  6. Triangular function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangular_function

    A triangular function (also known as a triangle function, hat function, or tent function) is a function whose graph takes the shape of a triangle. Often this is an isosceles triangle of height 1 and base 2 in which case it is referred to as the triangular function.

  7. Generalized function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalized_function

    In mathematics, generalized functions are objects extending the notion of functions on real or complex numbers. There is more than one recognized theory, for example the theory of distributions . Generalized functions are especially useful for treating discontinuous functions more like smooth functions , and describing discrete physical ...

  8. Dirichlet distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirichlet_distribution

    It is a multivariate generalization of the beta distribution, [1] hence its alternative name of multivariate beta distribution (MBD). [2] Dirichlet distributions are commonly used as prior distributions in Bayesian statistics , and in fact, the Dirichlet distribution is the conjugate prior of the categorical distribution and multinomial ...

  9. Simplex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simplex

    In geometry, a simplex (plural: simplexes or simplices) is a generalization of the notion of a triangle or tetrahedron to arbitrary dimensions. The simplex is so-named because it represents the simplest possible polytope in any given dimension. For example, a 0-dimensional simplex is a point, a 1-dimensional simplex is a line segment,
