  4. Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_Alphanumeric...

    Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols is a Unicode block comprising styled forms of Latin and Greek letters and decimal digits that enable mathematicians to denote different notions with different letter styles. The letters in various fonts often have specific, fixed meanings in particular areas of mathematics.

    Mathematical notation consists of using symbols for representing operations, unspecified numbers, relations, and any other mathematical objects and assembling them into expressions and formulas.

  6. Mathematical coincidence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_coincidence

    A mathematical coincidence often involves an integer, and the surprising feature is the fact that a real number arising in some context is considered by some standard as a "close" approximation to a small integer or to a multiple or power of ten, or more generally, to a rational number with a small denominator.

  7. Geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometry

    Around 300 BC, geometry was revolutionized by Euclid, whose Elements, widely considered the most successful and influential textbook of all time, [16] introduced mathematical rigor through the axiomatic method and is the earliest example of the format still used in mathematics today, that of definition, axiom, theorem, and proof.

  8. Decimal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal

    Place value of number in decimal system. The decimal numeral system (also called the base-ten positional numeral system and denary / ˈ d iː n ər i / [1] or decanary) is the standard system for denoting integer and non-integer numbers. It is the extension to non-integer numbers (decimal fractions) of the Hindu–Arabic numeral system.
