  2. Elementary arithmetic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elementary_arithmetic

    Multiplication is a mathematical operation of repeated addition. When two numbers are multiplied, the resulting value is a product. The numbers being multiplied are multiplicands, multipliers, or factors. Multiplication can be expressed as "five times three equals fifteen," "five times three is fifteen," or "fifteen is the product of five and ...

  3. Raising and lowering indices - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raising_and_lowering_indices

    It is common convention to use greek indices when writing expressions involving tensors in Minkowski space, while Latin indices are reserved for Euclidean space. Well-formulated expressions are constrained by the rules of Einstein summation : any index may appear at most twice and furthermore a raised index must contract with a lowered index.

  4. Grid method multiplication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grid_method_multiplication

    The grid method uses the distributive property twice to expand the product, once for the horizontal factor, and once for the vertical factor. Historically the grid calculation (tweaked slightly) was the basis of a method called lattice multiplication , which was the standard method of multiple-digit multiplication developed in medieval Arabic ...

  5. Product (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    In mathematics, a product is the result of multiplication, or an expression that identifies objects (numbers or variables) to be multiplied, called factors.For example, 21 is the product of 3 and 7 (the result of multiplication), and (+) is the product of and (+) (indicating that the two factors should be multiplied together).

  6. 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 ...

  7. Multi-index notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-index_notation

    Multi-index notation is a mathematical notation that simplifies formulas used in multivariable calculus, partial differential equations and the theory of distributions, by generalising the concept of an integer index to an ordered tuple of indices.

  8. Abundant number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abundant_number

    The smallest odd integer with abundancy index exceeding 3 is 1018976683725 = 3 3 × 5 2 × 7 2 × 11 × 13 × 17 × 19 × 23 × 29. [8] If p = (p 1, ..., p n) is a list of primes, then p is termed abundant if some integer composed only of primes in p is abundant. A necessary and sufficient condition for this is that the product of p i /(p i − ...

  9. Multiplicity (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    In prime factorization, the multiplicity of a prime factor is its -adic valuation.For example, the prime factorization of the integer 60 is . 60 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 5, the multiplicity of the prime factor 2 is 2, while the multiplicity of each of the prime factors 3 and 5 is 1.
