In mathematics, a geometric transformation is any bijection of a set to itself (or to another such set) with some salient geometrical underpinning, such as preserving distances, angles, or ratios (scale). More specifically, it is a function whose domain and range are sets of points – most often a real coordinate space,... |

An algebraic number is a number that is a root of a non-zero polynomial in one variable with integer (or, equivalently, rational) coefficients. For example, the golden ratio, ( 1 + 5 ) / 2 {\displaystyle (1+{\sqrt {5}})/2} , is an algebraic number, because it is a root of the polynomial x2 − x − 1. That is, it is a val... |

In a certain sense, the log-gamma function is the more natural form; it makes some intrinsic attributes of the function clearer. A striking example is the Taylor series of logΓ around 1: l o g Γ ... |
the integrand decreases very quickly. === Integration over log-gamma === The integral ∫ 0 z l o g Γ ( x ) d x {\displaystyle \int _{0}^{z}\operatorname {log\Gamma } (x)\,dx} can be expressed in terms of the Barnes G-function (see Barnes G-function for a proof): ∫ 0 z l o g Γ ( x ) d x = z 2 log ( 2 π ) + z ( 1 − ... |

Tables of complex values of the gamma function, as well as hand-drawn graphs, were given in Tables of Functions With Formulas and Curves by Jahnke and Emde, first published in Germany in 1909. According to Michael Berry, "the publication in J&E of a three-dimensional graph showing the poles of the gamma function in the... |
In abstract algebra, a subset S {\displaystyle S} of a field L {\displaystyle L} is algebraically independent over a subfield K {\displaystyle K} if the elements of S {\displaystyle S} do not satisfy any non-trivial polynomial equation with coefficients in K {\displaystyle K} . In particular, a one element set { α } {\... |

In mathematics, a rational function is any function that can be defined by a rational fraction, which is an algebraic fraction such that both the numerator and the denominator are polynomials. The coefficients of the polynomials need not be rational numbers; they may be taken in any field K. In this case, one speaks of... |

{x^{2}+2}{x^{2}+1}}} is defined for all real numbers, but not for all complex numbers, since if x were a square root of − 1 {\displaystyle -1} (i.e. the imaginary unit or its negative), then formal evaluation would lead to division by zero: f ( i ) = i 2 + 2 i 2 + 1 = − 1 + 2 − 1 + 1 = 1 0 , {\displaystyle f(i)={\frac ... |
