Wikipedia:Homogeneous function#0
In mathematics, a homogeneous function is a function of several variables such that the following holds: If each of the function's arguments is multiplied by the same scalar, then the function's value is multiplied by some power of this scalar; the power is called the degree of homogeneity, or simply the degree. That i...

Bessel functions, named after Friedrich Bessel who was the first to systematically study them in 1824, are canonical solutions y(x) of Bessel's differential equation x 2 d 2 y d x 2 + x d y d x + ( x 2 − α 2 ) y = 0 {\displaystyle x^{2}{\frac {d^{2}y}{dx^{2}}}+x{\frac {dy}{dx}}+\left(x^{2}-\alpha ^{2}\right)y=0} for an...
Wikipedia:Indefinite product#0
In mathematics, the indefinite product operator is the inverse operator of Q ( f ( x ) ) = f ( x + 1 ) f ( x ) {\textstyle Q(f(x))={\frac {f(x+1)}{f(x)}}} . It is a discrete version of the geometric integral of geometric calculus, one of the non-Newtonian calculi. Thus Q ( ∏ x f ( x ) ) = f ( x ) . {\displaystyle Q\lef...
Wikipedia:Independent equation#0
An independent equation is an equation in a system of simultaneous equations which cannot be derived algebraically from the other equations. The concept typically arises in the context of linear equations. If it is possible to duplicate one of the equations in a system by multiplying each of the other equations by some...
Wikipedia:Indeterminate (variable)#0
In mathematics, an indeterminate or formal variable is a variable (a symbol, usually a letter) that is used purely formally in a mathematical expression, but does not stand for any value. In analysis, a mathematical expression such as ⁠ 3 x 2 + 4 x {\displaystyle 3x^{2}+4x} ⁠ is usually taken to represent a quantity wh...

Wikipedia:Indian mathematics#0
Indian mathematics emerged in the Indian subcontinent from 1200 BCE until the end of the 18th century. In the classical period of Indian mathematics (400 CE to 1200 CE), important contributions were made by scholars like Aryabhata, Brahmagupta, Bhaskara II, Varāhamihira, and Madhava. The decimal number system in use to...
Wikipedia:Indian numbering system#0
The Indian numbering system is used in India, Pakistan, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh to express large numbers, which differs from the International System of Units. Commonly used quantities include lakh (one hundred thousand) and crore (ten million) – written as 100,000 and 10,000,000 respectively in some locales. ...

Wikipedia:Inequality (mathematics)#0
In mathematics, an inequality is a relation which makes a non-equal comparison between two numbers or other mathematical expressions. It is used most often to compare two numbers on the number line by their size. The main types of inequality are less than and greater than (denoted by < and >, respectively the less-than...
