  3. Obelus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obelus

    In mathematics, the first symbol is mainly used in Anglophone countries to represent the mathematical operation of division and is called an obelus. [3] In editing texts, the second symbol, also called a dagger mark † is used to indicate erroneous or dubious content; [ 4 ] [ 5 ] or as a reference mark or footnote indicator. [ 6 ]

    Equivalence class: given an equivalence relation, [] often denotes the equivalence class of the element x. 3. Integral part : if x is a real number , [ x ] {\displaystyle [x]} often denotes the integral part or truncation of x , that is, the integer obtained by removing all digits after the decimal mark .

    Flowchart of using successive subtractions to find the greatest common divisor of number r and s. In mathematics and computer science, an algorithm (/ ˈ æ l ɡ ə r ɪ ð əm / ⓘ) is a finite sequence of mathematically rigorous instructions, typically used to solve a class of specific problems or to perform a computation.

  6. Möbius transformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Möbius_transformation

    The trace is invariant under conjugation, that is, =, and so every member of a conjugacy class will have the same trace. Every Möbius transformation can be written such that its representing matrix H {\displaystyle {\mathfrak {H}}} has determinant one (by multiplying the entries with a suitable scalar).

  7. Chern class - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chern_class

    Then the only nontrivial Chern class is the first Chern class, which is an element of the second cohomology group of X. As it is the top Chern class, it equals the Euler class of the bundle. The first Chern class turns out to be a complete invariant with which to classify complex line bundles, topologically speaking.
