  2. Continued fraction (generalized) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continued_fraction...

    A continued fraction is an expression of the form = + + + + + where the a n (n > 0) are the partial numerators, the b n are the partial denominators, and the leading term b 0 is called the integer part of the continued fraction.

  3. Radian - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radian

    However, rad is only to be used to express angles, not to express ratios of lengths in general. [7] A similar calculation using the area of a circular sector θ = 2A/r 2 gives 1 SI radian as 1 m 2 /m 2 = 1. [10] The key fact is that the SI radian is a dimensionless unit equal to 1. In SI 2019, the SI radian is defined accordingly as 1 rad = 1. [11]

  4. Gauss's continued fraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauss's_continued_fraction

    The continued fractions on the right hand side will converge uniformly on any closed and bounded set that contains no poles of this function. [ 7 ] In the case 2 F 1 {\displaystyle {}_{2}F_{1}} , the radius of convergence of the series is 1 and the fraction on the left hand side is a meromorphic function within this circle.

  5. Mathematical constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_constant

    The circumference of a circle with diameter 1 is π. A mathematical constant is a number whose value is fixed by an unambiguous definition, often referred to by a special symbol (e.g., an alphabet letter), or by mathematicians' names to facilitate using it across multiple mathematical problems. [1] Constants arise in many areas of mathematics ...

  6. Exponentiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponentiation

    Each curve passes through the point (0, 1) because any nonzero number raised to the power of 0 is 1. At x = 1, the value of y equals the base because any number raised to the power of 1 is the number itself. In mathematics, exponentiation is an operation involving two numbers: the base and the exponent or power.

  7. Repeating decimal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repeating_decimal

    Conversely the period of the repeating decimal of a fraction ⁠ c / d ⁠ will be (at most) the smallest number n such that 10 n − 1 is divisible by d. For example, the fraction ⁠ 2 / 7 ⁠ has d = 7, and the smallest k that makes 10 k − 1 divisible by 7 is k = 6, because 999999 = 7 × 142857. The period of the fraction ⁠ 2 / 7 ⁠ is ...

  8. Glossary of mathematical symbols - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_mathematical...

    A mathematical symbol is a figure or a combination of figures that is used to represent a mathematical object, an action on mathematical objects, a relation between mathematical objects, or for structuring the other symbols that occur in a formula. As formulas are entirely constituted with symbols of various types, many symbols are needed for ...

  9. Real number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_number

    These identifications are formally abuses of notation (since, formally, a rational number is an equivalence class of pairs of integers, and a real number is an equivalence class of Cauchy series), and are generally harmless. It is only in very specific situations, that one must avoid them and replace them by using explicitly the above ...
