  2. Symmetric derivative - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetric_derivative

    For differentiable functions, the symmetric difference quotient does provide a better numerical approximation of the derivative than the usual difference quotient. [3] The symmetric derivative at a given point equals the arithmetic mean of the left and right derivatives at that point, if the latter two both exist. [1] [2]: 6

  3. Symmetry of second derivatives - Wikipedia

    The two iterated integrals are therefore equal. On the other hand, since f xy (x,y) is continuous, the second iterated integral can be performed by first integrating over x and then afterwards over y. But then the iterated integral of f yx − f xy on [a,b] × [c,d] must vanish.

  4. Symmetric power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetric_power

    In linear algebra, the n-th symmetric power of a vector space V is the vector subspace of the symmetric algebra of V consisting of degree-n elements (here the product is a tensor product). In algebraic topology , the n -th symmetric power of a topological space X is the quotient space X n / S n {\displaystyle X^{n}/{\mathfrak {S}}_{n}} , as in ...

  5. Power rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_rule

    In calculus, the power rule is used to differentiate functions of the form () =, whenever is a real number. Since differentiation is a linear operation on the space of differentiable functions, polynomials can also be differentiated using this rule.

  6. Legendre polynomials - Wikipedia

    Where ẑ is the axis of symmetry and θ is the angle between the position of the observer and the ẑ axis (the zenith angle), the solution for the potential will be (,) = = (+ (+)) (⁡). A l and B l are to be determined according to the boundary condition of each problem.

  7. Parabola - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parabola

    The point E is an arbitrary point on the parabola. The focus is F, the vertex is A (the origin), and the line FA is the axis of symmetry. The line EC is parallel to the axis of symmetry, intersects the x axis at D and intersects the directrix at C. The point B is the midpoint of the line segment FC.

  8. Symmetry operation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetry_operation

    In mathematics, a symmetry operation is a geometric transformation of an object that leaves the object looking the same after it has been carried out. For example, a 1 ⁄ 3 turn rotation of a regular triangle about its center, a reflection of a square across its diagonal, a translation of the Euclidean plane, or a point reflection of a sphere through its center are all symmetry operations.

  9. Symmetry in mathematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetry_in_mathematics

    Let f(x) be a real-valued function of a real variable, then f is even if the following equation holds for all x and -x in the domain of f: = Geometrically speaking, the graph face of an even function is symmetric with respect to the y-axis, meaning that its graph remains unchanged after reflection about the y-axis
