    2. Denotes that a number is positive and is read as plus. Redundant, but sometimes used for emphasizing that a number is positive, specially when other numbers in the context are or may be negative; for example, +2. 3. Sometimes used instead of for a disjoint union of sets. − 1.

    The number 1 has only a single factor, itself; each prime number has two factors, itself and 1; composite numbers are divisible by at least three different factors. Using the size of the dot representing an integer to indicate the number of factors and coloring prime numbers red and composite numbers blue produces the figure shown.

  5. Irregularity of a surface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irregularity_of_a_surface

    In mathematics, the irregularity of a complex surface X is the Hodge number, = ⁡ (), usually denoted by q. [1] The irregularity of an algebraic surface is sometimes defined to be this Hodge number, and sometimes defined to be the dimension of the Picard variety, which is the same in characteristic 0 but can be smaller in positive characteristic.

    Geometry (from Ancient Greek γεωμετρία (geōmetría) 'land measurement'; from γῆ (gê) 'earth, land' and μέτρον (métron) 'a measure') [1] is a branch of mathematics concerned with properties of space such as the distance, shape, size, and relative position of figures. [2]

    So, + and are two different expressions that represent the same number. This is the meaning of the equality 3 + 2 = 5. {\displaystyle 3+2=5.} A more complicated example is given by the expression ∫ a b x d x {\textstyle \int _{a}^{b}xdx} that can be evaluated to b 2 2 − a 2 2 . {\textstyle {\frac {b^{2}}{2}}-{\frac {a^{2}}{2}}.}

  9. Heptagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heptagram

    There are two regular heptagrams, labeled as {7/2} and {7/3}, with the second number representing the vertex interval step from a regular heptagon, {7/1}. This is the smallest star polygon that can be drawn in two forms, as irreducible fractions. The two heptagrams are sometimes called the heptagram (for {7/2}) and the great heptagram (for {7/3}).
