In mathematics, the adjoint representation (or adjoint action) of a Lie group G is a way of representing the elements of the group as linear transformations of the group's Lie algebra, considered as a vector space. For example, if G is G L ( n , R ) {\displaystyle GL(n,\mathbb {R} )} , the Lie group of real n-by-n inve...

In mathematics, the algebraic butterfly curve is a plane algebraic curve of degree six, given by the equation x 6 + y 6 = x 2 . {\displaystyle x^{6}+y^{6}=x^{2}.} The butterfly curve has a single singularity with delta invariant three, which means it is a curve of genus seven.

Associativity is not the same as commutativity, which addresses whether the order of two operands affects the result.

In mathematics, the axiom of choice, abbreviated AC or AoC, is an axiom of set theory equivalent to the statement that a Cartesian product of a collection of non-empty sets is non-empty.

c_fifnyw42ih9u
An illustrative example is sets picked from the natural numbers. From such sets, one may always select the smallest number, e.g. given the sets {{4, 5, 6}, {10, 12}, {1, 400, 617, 8000}}, the set containing each smallest element is {4, 10, 1}. In this case, "select the smallest number" is a choice function.

However, no definite choice function is known for the collection of all non-empty subsets of the real numbers. In that case, the axiom of choice must be invoked.

By the axiom of extensionality, the set P ( x ) {\displaystyle {\mathcal {P}}(x)} is unique. The axiom of power set appears in most axiomatizations of set theory.

2 ! = 6 {\displaystyle {\tbinom {4}{2}}={\tfrac {4\times 3}{2\times 1}}={\tfrac {4!}{2!2! }}=6} is the coefficient of the x2 term.

Arranging the numbers ( n 0 ) , ( n 1 ) , … , ( n n ) {\displaystyle {\tbinom {n}{0}},{\tbinom {n}{1}},\ldots ,{\tbinom {n}{n}}} in successive rows for n = 0 , 1 , 2 , … {\displaystyle n=0,1,2,\ldots } gives a triangular array called Pascal's triangle, satisfying the recurrence relation ( n k ) = ( n − 1 k − 1 ) + ( n ...

The symbol ( n k ) {\displaystyle {\tbinom {n}{k}}} is usually read as "n choose k" because there are ( n k ) {\displaystyle {\tbinom {n}{k}}} ways to choose an (unordered) subset of k elements from a fixed set of n elements. For example, there are ( 4 2 ) = 6 {\displaystyle {\tbinom {4}{2}}=6} ways to choose 2 element...

In mathematics, the binomial differential equation is an ordinary differential equation containing one or more functions of one independent variable and the derivatives of those functions. For example: ( y ′ ) m = f ( x , y ) , {\displaystyle \left(y'\right)^{m}=f(x,y),} when m {\displaystyle m} is a natural number (i....

In mathematics, the binomial series is a generalization of the polynomial that comes from a binomial formula expression like ( 1 + x ) n {\displaystyle (1+x)^{n}} for a nonnegative integer n {\displaystyle n} . Specifically, the binomial series is the Taylor series for the function f ( x ) = ( 1 + x ) α {\displaystyle ...

In mathematics, the bipolar theorem is a theorem in functional analysis that characterizes the bipolar (that is, the polar of the polar) of a set. In convex analysis, the bipolar theorem refers to a necessary and sufficient conditions for a cone to be equal to its bipolar. The bipolar theorem can be seen as a special c...

In mathematics, the bisection method is a root-finding method that applies to any continuous function for which one knows two values with opposite signs. The method consists of repeatedly bisecting the interval defined by these values and then selecting the subinterval in which the function changes sign, and therefore ...

Because of this, it is often used to obtain a rough approximation to a solution which is then used as a starting point for more rapidly converging methods. The method is also called the interval halving method, the binary search method, or the dichotomy method.For polynomials, more elaborate methods exist for testing t...

In mathematics, the blancmange curve is a self-affine curve constructible by midpoint subdivision. It is also known as the Takagi curve, after Teiji Takagi who described it in 1901, or as the Takagi–Landsberg curve, a generalization of the curve named after Takagi and Georg Landsberg. The name blancmange comes from its...

In mathematics, the bounded inverse theorem ( also called inverse mapping theorem or Banach isomorphism theorem) is a result in the theory of bounded linear operators on Banach spaces. It states that a bijective bounded linear operator T from one Banach space to another has bounded inverse T−1. It is equivalent to both...

In mathematics, the boustrophedon transform is a procedure which maps one sequence to another. The transformed sequence is computed by an "addition" operation, implemented as if filling a triangular array in a boustrophedon (zigzag- or serpentine-like) manner—as opposed to a "Raster Scan" sawtooth-like manner.
