  2. Discriminant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discriminant

    The discriminant of a polynomial of degree n is homogeneous of degree 2n − 2 in the coefficients. This can be seen in two ways. In terms of the roots-and-leading-term formula, multiplying all the coefficients by λ does not change the roots, but multiplies the leading term by λ.

    An integer that occurs as the discriminant of a quadratic number field is called a fundamental discriminant. [3] Cyclotomic fields: let n > 2 be an integer, let ζ n be a primitive nth root of unity, and let K n = Q(ζ n) be the nth cyclotomic field. The discriminant of K n is given by [2] [4]

    For this converse the field discriminant is needed. This is the Dedekind discriminant theorem. In the example above, the discriminant of the number field () with x 3 − x − 1 = 0 is −23, and as we have seen the 23-adic place ramifies. The Dedekind discriminant tells us it is the only ultrametric place that does.

    Also in 2016, Quizlet launched "Quizlet Live", a real-time online matching game where teams compete to answer all 12 questions correctly without an incorrect answer along the way. [15] In 2017, Quizlet created a premium offering called "Quizlet Go" (later renamed "Quizlet Plus"), with additional features available for paid subscribers.

  6. Second partial derivative test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_partial_derivative_test

    At the remaining critical point (0, 0) the second derivative test is insufficient, and one must use higher order tests or other tools to determine the behavior of the function at this point. (In fact, one can show that f takes both positive and negative values in small neighborhoods around (0, 0) and so this point is a saddle point of f.)

  7. Eccentricity (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    The eccentricity is sometimes called the first eccentricity to distinguish it from the second eccentricity and third eccentricity defined for ellipses (see below). The eccentricity is also sometimes called the numerical eccentricity. In the case of ellipses and hyperbolas the linear eccentricity is sometimes called the half-focal separation.

  8. Dedekind zeta function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dedekind_zeta_function

    Let K be an algebraic number field.Its Dedekind zeta function is first defined for complex numbers s with real part Re(s) > 1 by the Dirichlet series = (/ ())where I ranges through the non-zero ideals of the ring of integers O K of K and N K/Q (I) denotes the absolute norm of I (which is equal to both the index [O K : I] of I in O K or equivalently the cardinality of quotient ring O K / I).

  9. Polynomial - Wikipedia

    This is called Euclidean division, division with remainder or polynomial long division and shows that the ring F[x] is a Euclidean domain. Analogously, prime polynomials (more correctly, irreducible polynomials ) can be defined as non-zero polynomials which cannot be factorized into the product of two non-constant polynomials .
