  2. Glossary of mathematical symbols - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_mathematical...

    A mathematical symbol is a figure or a combination of figures that is used to represent a mathematical object, an action on mathematical objects, a relation between mathematical objects, or for structuring the other symbols that occur in a formula. As formulas are entirely constituted with symbols of various types, many symbols are needed for ...

  3. Converse relation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Converse_relation

    In the monoid of binary endorelations on a set (with the binary operation on relations being the composition of relations), the converse relation does not satisfy the definition of an inverse from group theory, that is, if is an arbitrary relation on , then does not equal the identity relation on in general.

  4. Converse (logic) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Converse_(logic)

    In logic and mathematics, the converse of a categorical or implicational statement is the result of reversing its two constituent statements. For the implication P → Q, the converse is Q → P. For the categorical proposition All S are P, the converse is All P are S. Either way, the truth of the converse is generally independent from that of ...

    The converse is "If a polygon has four sides, then it is a quadrilateral. " Again, in this case, unlike the last example, the converse of the statement is true. The negation is " There is at least one quadrilateral that does not have four sides.

  6. Glossary of algebraic geometry - Wikipedia

    Some authors, such as Hartshorne in his book Algebraic Geometry and Q. Liu in his book Algebraic Geometry and Arithmetic Curves, define immersions as the composite of an open immersion followed by a closed immersion. These immersions are immersions in the sense above, but the converse is false.

    The converse statement, that an axial couple of triangles is central, is equivalent (either can be used to prove the other). Desargues' theorem can be proved in the real projective plane , and with suitable modifications for special cases, in the Euclidean plane .

    In mathematics, for a function :, the image of an input value is the single output value produced by when passed .The preimage of an output value is the set of input values that produce .

  9. Congruence (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congruence_(geometry)

    In geometry, two figures or objects are congruent if they have the same shape and size, or if one has the same shape and size as the mirror image of the other. [ 1 ] More formally, two sets of points are called congruent if, and only if, one can be transformed into the other by an isometry , i.e., a combination of rigid motions , namely a ...
