  2. Mathematical notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_notation

    Mathematical notation is widely used in mathematics, science, and engineering for representing complex concepts and properties in a concise, unambiguous, and accurate way. For example, the physicist Albert Einstein's formula = is the quantitative representation in mathematical notation of mass–energy equivalence. [1]

  3. Arithmetic dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arithmetic_dynamics

    Arithmetic dynamics [1] is a field that amalgamates two areas of mathematics, dynamical systems and number theory.Part of the inspiration comes from complex dynamics, the study of the iteration of self-maps of the complex plane or other complex algebraic varieties.

  4. List of axioms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_axioms

    Together with the axiom of choice (see below), these are the de facto standard axioms for contemporary mathematics or set theory.They can be easily adapted to analogous theories, such as mereology.

  5. Three-body problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-body_problem

    While a system of 3 bodies interacting gravitationally is chaotic, a system of 3 bodies interacting elastically is not. [clarification needed] There is no general closed-form solution to the three-body problem. [1] In other words, it does not have a general solution that can be expressed in terms of a finite number of standard mathematical ...

  6. Consistent and inconsistent equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consistent_and...

    The system + =, + = has exactly one solution: x = 1, y = 2 The nonlinear system + =, + = has the two solutions (x, y) = (1, 0) and (x, y) = (0, 1), while + + =, + + =, + + = has an infinite number of solutions because the third equation is the first equation plus twice the second one and hence contains no independent information; thus any value of z can be chosen and values of x and y can be ...

  7. Mathematical structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_structure

    In Mathematics, a structure on a set (or on some sets) refers to providing it (or them) with certain additional features (e.g. an operation, relation, metric, or topology).

  8. Collocation method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collocation_method

    In mathematics, a collocation method is a method for the numerical solution of ordinary differential equations, partial differential equations and integral equations.The idea is to choose a finite-dimensional space of candidate solutions (usually polynomials up to a certain degree) and a number of points in the domain (called collocation points), and to select that solution which satisfies the ...

  9. Quaternary numeral system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quaternary_numeral_system

    As with the octal and hexadecimal numeral systems, quaternary has a special relation to the binary numeral system.Each radix four, eight, and sixteen is a power of two, so the conversion to and from binary is implemented by matching each digit with two, three, or four binary digits, or bits.
