  2. Basel problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basel_problem

    The Basel problem is a problem in mathematical analysis with relevance to number theory, concerning an infinite sum of inverse squares.It was first posed by Pietro Mengoli in 1650 and solved by Leonhard Euler in 1734, [1] and read on 5 December 1735 in The Saint Petersburg Academy of Sciences.

  3. Fano plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fano_plane

    Set x ∞ = 0 and send the slope k ↦ x ∞ + x k ∈ F 8 ≅ F 2 [x] / (x 3 + x + 1), where now x k labels the vertices of K 7 with edge coloring, noting that F × 8 is a cyclic group of order 7. The symmetries of P 1 F 7 are Möbius transformations , and the basic transformations are reflections (order 2, k ↦ −1/ k ), translations (order ...

  4. Fixed-point theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed-point_theorem

    The Banach fixed-point theorem (1922) gives a general criterion guaranteeing that, if it is satisfied, the procedure of iterating a function yields a fixed point. [2]By contrast, the Brouwer fixed-point theorem (1911) is a non-constructive result: it says that any continuous function from the closed unit ball in n-dimensional Euclidean space to itself must have a fixed point, [3] but it doesn ...

  5. Planar graph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planar_graph

    The meshedness coefficient or density D of a planar graph, or network, is the ratio of the number f – 1 of bounded faces (the same as the circuit rank of the graph, by Mac Lane's planarity criterion) by its maximal possible values 2v – 5 for a graph with v vertices:

  6. Graph of a function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_of_a_function

    Given a function: from a set X (the domain) to a set Y (the codomain), the graph of the function is the set [4] = {(, ()):}, which is a subset of the Cartesian product.In the definition of a function in terms of set theory, it is common to identify a function with its graph, although, formally, a function is formed by the triple consisting of its domain, its codomain and its graph.

  7. Graph (discrete mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_(discrete_mathematics)

    A cycle graph or circular graph of order n ≥ 3 is a graph in which the vertices can be listed in an order v 1, v 2, …, v n such that the edges are the {v i, v i+1} where i = 1, 2, …, n 1, plus the edge {v n, v 1}. Cycle graphs can be characterized as connected graphs in which the degree of all vertices is 2.

  8. Binomial approximation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_approximation

    [1] The approximation can be proven several ways, and is closely related to the binomial theorem . By Bernoulli's inequality , the left-hand side of the approximation is greater than or equal to the right-hand side whenever x > 1 {\displaystyle x>-1} and α ≥ 1 {\displaystyle \alpha \geq 1} .

  9. Y-intercept - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Y-intercept

    Graph = with the -axis as the horizontal axis and the -axis as the vertical axis.The -intercept of () is indicated by the red dot at (=, =).. In analytic geometry, using the common convention that the horizontal axis represents a variable and the vertical axis represents a variable , a -intercept or vertical intercept is a point where the graph of a function or relation intersects the -axis of ...
