  2. Law (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_(mathematics)

    In mathematics, a law is a formula that is always true within a given context. [1] Laws describe a relationship , between two or more expressions or terms (which may contain variables ), usually using equality or inequality , [ 2 ] or between formulas themselves, for instance, in mathematical logic .

  3. Consideration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consideration

    Consideration must be an act, abstinence or forbearance or a returned promise. Consideration may be past, present or future. Past consideration is not consideration according to English law. However it is a consideration as per Indian law. Example of past consideration is, A renders some service to B at latter's desire.

  4. Mathematical model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_model

    For example, Newton's classical mechanics is an approximated model of the real world. Still, Newton's model is quite sufficient for most ordinary-life situations, that is, as long as particle speeds are well below the speed of light, and we study macro-particles only. Note that better accuracy does not necessarily mean a better model.

  5. List of mathematical examples - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mathematical_examples

    This page will attempt to list examples in mathematics. To qualify for inclusion, an article should be about a mathematical object with a fair amount of concreteness. Usually a definition of an abstract concept, a theorem, or a proof would not be an "example" as the term should be understood here (an elegant proof of an isolated but particularly striking fact, as opposed to a proof of a ...

  6. Function (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_(mathematics)

    A real function is a real-valued function of a real variable, that is, a function whose codomain is the field of real numbers and whose domain is a set of real numbers that contains an interval. In this section, these functions are simply called functions.

  7. Operator theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operator_theory

    In mathematics, operator theory is the study of linear operators on function spaces, beginning with differential operators and integral operators.The operators may be presented abstractly by their characteristics, such as bounded linear operators or closed operators, and consideration may be given to nonlinear operators.

  8. List of mathematical functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mathematical_functions

    Dirichlet function: is an indicator function that matches 1 to rational numbers and 0 to irrationals. It is nowhere continuous. Thomae's function: is a function that is continuous at all irrational numbers and discontinuous at all rational numbers. It is also a modification of Dirichlet function and sometimes called Riemann function.

  9. Maximum and minimum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_and_minimum

    For example, if a bounded differentiable function f defined on a closed interval in the real line has a single critical point, which is a local minimum, then it is also a global minimum (use the intermediate value theorem and Rolle's theorem to prove this by contradiction). In two and more dimensions, this argument fails.
