  2. Mathematical proof - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_proof

    A two-column proof published in 1913. A particular way of organising a proof using two parallel columns is often used as a mathematical exercise in elementary geometry classes in the United States. [29] The proof is written as a series of lines in two columns.

  3. Plimpton 322 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plimpton_322

    In this proposal it must be assumed that the Babylonians were familiar with both variants of the problem. Robson argues that the columns of Plimpton 322 can be interpreted as: v 3 = ((x + 1/x)/2) 2 = 1 + (c/2) 2 in the first column, a·v 1 = a·(x − 1/x)/2 for a suitable multiplier a in the second column, and a·v 4 = a·(x + 1/x)/2 in the ...

    Fig. 2: Column effective length factors for Euler's critical load. In practical design, it is recommended to increase the factors as shown above. The following assumptions are made while deriving Euler's formula: [3] The material of the column is homogeneous and isotropic. The compressive load on the column is axial only.

    The normal equations can be derived directly from a matrix representation of the problem as follows. The objective is to minimize = ‖ ‖ = () = +.Here () = has the dimension 1x1 (the number of columns of ), so it is a scalar and equal to its own transpose, hence = and the quantity to minimize becomes

  6. Hilbert's second problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilbert's_second_problem

    In mathematics, Hilbert's second problem was posed by David Hilbert in 1900 as one of his 23 problems. It asks for a proof that arithmetic is consistent – free of any internal contradictions. Hilbert stated that the axioms he considered for arithmetic were the ones given in Hilbert (1900) , which include a second order completeness axiom.

    Appel and Haken's proof of this took 139 pages, and also depended on long computer calculations. 1974 The Gorenstein–Harada theorem classifying finite groups of sectional 2-rank at most 4 was 464 pages long. 1976 Eisenstein series. Langlands's proof of the functional equation for Eisenstein series was 337 pages long. 1983 Trichotomy theorem ...

  8. Menelaus's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Menelaus's_theorem

    A proof given by John Wellesley Russell uses Pasch's axiom to consider cases where a line does or does not meet a triangle. [4] First, the sign of the left-hand side will be negative since either all three of the ratios are negative, the case where the line DEF misses the triangle (see diagram), or one is negative and the other two are positive, the case where DEF crosses two sides of the ...

  9. Cauchy–Binet formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cauchy–Binet_formula

    The proof is valid for arbitrary commutative coefficient rings. The formula can be proved in two steps: use the fact that both sides are multilinear (more precisely 2m-linear) in the rows of A and the columns of B, to reduce to the case that each row of A and each column of B has only one non-zero entry, which is 1.
