  2. Minkowski's question-mark function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minkowski's_question-mark...

    In mathematics, Minkowski's question-mark function, denoted ?(x), is a function with unusual fractal properties, defined by Hermann Minkowski in 1904. [1] It maps quadratic irrational numbers to rational numbers on the unit interval , via an expression relating the continued fraction expansions of the quadratics to the binary expansions of the ...

    AND := λp.λq.p q p OR := λp.λq.p p q NOT := λp.p FALSE TRUE IFTHENELSE := λp.λa.λb.p a b. We are now able to compute some logic functions, for example: AND TRUE FALSE ≡ (λp.λq.p q p) TRUE FALSE → β TRUE FALSE TRUE ≡ (λx.λy.x) FALSE TRUE → β FALSE. and we see that AND TRUE FALSE is equivalent to FALSE. A predicate is a ...

  4. Proofs of trigonometric identities - Wikipedia

    For example, the sine of angle θ is defined as being the length of the opposite side divided by the length of the hypotenuse. The six trigonometric functions are defined for every real number, except, for some of them, for angles that differ from 0 by a multiple of the right angle (90°). Referring to the diagram at the right, the six ...

  5. Rational root theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rational_root_theorem

    Now any rational root p/q corresponds to a factor of degree 1 in Q[X] of the polynomial, and its primitive representative is then qx − p, assuming that p and q are coprime. But any multiple in Z [ X ] of qx − p has leading term divisible by q and constant term divisible by p , which proves the statement.

  6. Proof that π is irrational - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof_that_π_is_irrational

    This last integral is , since (+) is the null function (because is a polynomial function of degree ). Since each function f ( k ) {\displaystyle f^{(k)}} (with 0 ≤ k ≤ 2 n {\displaystyle 0\leq k\leq 2n} ) takes integer values at 0 {\displaystyle 0} and π {\displaystyle \pi } and since the same thing happens with the sine and the cosine ...

  7. Limit of a function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limit_of_a_function

    For such a double limit to exist, this definition requires the value of f approaches L along every possible path approaching (p, q), excluding the two lines x = p and y = q. As a result, the multiple limit is a weaker notion than the ordinary limit: if the ordinary limit exists and equals L, then the multiple limit exists and also equals L. The ...

  8. Pythagorean trigonometric identity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagorean_trigonometric...

    which by the Pythagorean theorem is equal to 1. This definition is valid for all angles, due to the definition of defining x = cos θ and y sin θ for the unit circle and thus x = c cos θ and y = c sin θ for a circle of radius c and reflecting our triangle in the y-axis and setting a = x and b = y.

  9. Function (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    A function :, with domain X and codomain Y, is bijective, if for every y in Y, there is one and only one element x in X such that y = f(x). In this case, the inverse function of f is the function f − 1 : YX {\displaystyle f^{-1}:Y\to X} that maps yY {\displaystyle y\in Y} to the element xX {\displaystyle x\in X} such that y = f ...
