Graciela Beatriz Salicrup López (México City, México, April 7, 1935 – July 29, 1982) was a Mexican architect, archaeologist, and mathematician. In the 1970s and 1980s, she was a pioneer in the field of categorical topology. Most of her work was published in Spanish, and her original contributions were not widely recogn...
Wikipedia:Grad operator#0
In vector calculus, the gradient of a scalar-valued differentiable function f {\displaystyle f} of several variables is the vector field (or vector-valued function) ∇ f {\displaystyle \nabla f} whose value at a point p {\displaystyle p} gives the direction and the rate of fastest increase. The gradient transforms like ...
Wikipedia:Graded structure#0
In mathematics, the term "graded" has a number of meanings, mostly related: In abstract algebra, it refers to a family of concepts: An algebraic structure X {\displaystyle X} is said to be I {\displaystyle I} -graded for an index set I {\displaystyle I} if it has a gradation or grading, i.e. a decomposition into a dire...
Wikipedia:Graded-commutative ring#0
In mathematics, in particular abstract algebra, a graded ring is a ring such that the underlying additive group is a direct sum of abelian groups R i {\displaystyle R_{i}} such that ⁠ R i R j ⊆ R i + j {\displaystyle R_{i}R_{j}\subseteq R_{i+j}} ⁠. The index set is usually the set of nonnegative integers or the set of ...
Wikipedia:Graded-symmetric algebra#0
In mathematics, the symmetric algebra S(V) (also denoted Sym(V)) on a vector space V over a field K is a commutative algebra over K that contains V, and is, in some sense, minimal for this property. Here, "minimal" means that S(V) satisfies the following universal property: for every linear map f from V to a commutativ...

Wikipedia:Gradient conjecture#0
In mathematics, the gradient conjecture, due to René Thom (1989), was proved in 2000 by three Polish mathematicians, Krzysztof Kurdyka (University of Savoie, France), Tadeusz Mostowski (Warsaw University, Poland) and Adam Parusiński (University of Angers, France). The conjecture states that given a real-valued analytic...

Wikipedia:Graham–Pollak theorem#0
In graph theory, the Graham–Pollak theorem states that the edges of an n {\displaystyle n} -vertex complete graph cannot be partitioned into fewer than n − 1 {\displaystyle n-1} complete bipartite graphs. It was first published by Ronald Graham and Henry O. Pollak in two papers in 1971 and 1972 (crediting Hans Witsenha...
Wikipedia:Gram–Schmidt process#0
In mathematics, particularly linear algebra and numerical analysis, the Gram–Schmidt process or Gram-Schmidt algorithm is a way of finding a set of two or more vectors that are perpendicular to each other. By technical definition, it is a method of constructing an orthonormal basis from a set of vectors in an inner pro...
