  2. Order of operations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_operations

    [2] [3] Thus, in the expression 1 + 2 × 3, the multiplication is performed before addition, and the expression has the value 1 + (2 × 3) = 7, and not (1 + 2) × 3 = 9. When exponents were introduced in the 16th and 17th centuries, they were given precedence over both addition and multiplication and placed as a superscript to the right of ...

  3. Mnemonics in trigonometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mnemonics_in_trigonometry

    Signs of trigonometric functions in each quadrant. All Students Take Calculus is a mnemonic for the sign of each trigonometric functions in each quadrant of the plane. The letters ASTC signify which of the trigonometric functions are positive, starting in the top right 1st quadrant and moving counterclockwise through quadrants 2 to 4.

  4. American Invitational Mathematics Examination - Wikipedia

    The competition consists of 15 questions of increasing difficulty, where each answer is an integer between 000 and 999 inclusive. Thus the competition effectively removes the element of chance afforded by a multiple-choice test while preserving the ease of automated grading; answers are entered onto an OMR sheet, similar to the way grid-in math questions are answered on the SAT.

    Of course the article has to mention parentheses, and does. My point is that parentheses are a symbol of grouping, not an operation, and that PEDMAS is a mnemonic, not a rule of mathematics. Rick Norwood 09:52, 13 April 2023 (UTC) Agree that the definition subsection is not the proper place to introduce the PEMDAS mnemonic.

    Similarly, in the final configuration, the graph must be connected, since the outer face gets at least one degree 1 vertex per connected component, and cannot have more than one such vertex. So, in the final configuration, k is exactly 1. Thus, to obtain the final configuration, we must have had m = f−k−1+n = 4n−11+n = 5n−2.

  7. L'Hôpital's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L'Hôpital's_rule

    L'Hôpital's rule (/ ˌ l oʊ p iː ˈ t ɑː l /, loh-pee-TAHL) or L'Hospital's rule, also known as Bernoulli's rule, is a mathematical theorem that allows evaluating limits of indeterminate forms using derivatives. Application (or repeated application) of the rule often converts an indeterminate form to an expression that can be easily ...

  8. Quadratic reciprocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_reciprocity

    Trivially 1 is a quadratic residue for all primes. The question becomes more interesting for −1. Examining the table, we find −1 in rows 5, 13, 17, 29, 37, and 41 but not in rows 3, 7, 11, 19, 23, 31, 43 or 47. The former set of primes are all congruent to 1 modulo 4, and the latter are congruent to 3 modulo 4.

    (The rule stated above may also be remembered by the word FOIL, suggested by the first letters of the words first, outer, inner, last.) William Betz was active in the movement to reform mathematics in the United States at that time, had written many texts on elementary mathematics topics and had "devoted his life to the improvement of ...
