  2. Mathematical and theoretical biology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_and...

    Mathematical and theoretical biology, or biomathematics, is a branch of biology which employs theoretical analysis, mathematical models and abstractions of living organisms to investigate the principles that govern the structure, development and behavior of the systems, as opposed to experimental biology which deals with the conduction of ...

  3. Quotient group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quotient_group

    The quotient group is isomorphic to the circle group, the group of complex numbers of absolute value 1 under multiplication, or correspondingly, the group of rotations in 2D about the origin, that is, the special orthogonal group ⁠ ⁠. An isomorphism is given by (see Euler's identity).

  4. CW complex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CW_complex

    S n {\displaystyle S^ {n}} a CW decomposition with two cells in every dimension k such that. 0 ≤ k ≤ n {\displaystyle 0\leq k\leq n} . The n-dimensional real projective space. It admits a CW structure with one cell in each dimension. The terminology for a generic 2-dimensional CW complex is a shadow.

  5. Euclidean algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_algorithm

    The theorem which underlies the definition of the Euclidean division ensures that such a quotient and remainder always exist and are unique. [20] In Euclid's original version of the algorithm, the quotient and remainder are found by repeated subtraction; that is, r k−1 is subtracted from r k−2 repeatedly until the remainder r k is smaller ...

  6. Finite difference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_difference

    A finite difference is a mathematical expression of the form f (x + b) − f (x + a).If a finite difference is divided by b − a, one gets a difference quotient.The approximation of derivatives by finite differences plays a central role in finite difference methods for the numerical solution of differential equations, especially boundary value problems.

  7. Euclidean division - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_division

    17 is divided into 3 groups of 5, with 2 as leftover. Here, the dividend is 17, the divisor is 3, the quotient is 5, and the remainder is 2 (which is strictly smaller than the divisor 3), or more symbolically, 17 = (3 × 5) + 2. In arithmetic, Euclidean division – or division with remainder – is the process of dividing one integer (the ...

  8. Discrete calculus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrete_calculus

    Discrete calculus or the calculus of discrete functions, is the mathematical study of incremental change, in the same way that geometry is the study of shape and algebra is the study of generalizations of arithmetic operations. The word calculus is a Latin word, meaning originally "small pebble"; as such pebbles were used for calculation, the ...

  9. Ruffini's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruffini's_rule

    Ruffini's rule can be used when one needs the quotient of a polynomial P by a binomial of the form . (When one needs only the remainder, the polynomial remainder theorem provides a simpler method.) A typical example, where one needs the quotient, is the factorization of a polynomial p ( x ) {\displaystyle p(x)} for which one knows a root r :
