  2. K-topology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-topology

    Let R be the set of real numbers and let = {/: =,, …}. The K-topology on R is the topology obtained by taking as a base the collection of all open intervals ( a , b ) {\displaystyle (a,b)} together with all sets of the form ( a , b ) ∖ K . {\displaystyle (a,b)\setminus K.} [ 1 ] The neighborhoods of a point x ≠ 0 {\displaystyle x\neq 0 ...

  3. Abscissa and ordinate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abscissa_and_ordinate

    More technically, the abscissa of a point is the signed measure of its projection on the primary axis. Its absolute value is the distance between the projection and the origin of the axis, and its sign is given by the location on the projection relative to the origin (before: negative; after: positive). Similarly, the ordinate of a point is the ...

  4. Rotation matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation_matrix

    More specifically, they can be characterized as orthogonal matrices with determinant 1; that is, a square matrix R is a rotation matrix if and only if R T = R −1 and det R = 1. The set of all orthogonal matrices of size n with determinant +1 is a representation of a group known as the special orthogonal group SO(n), one example of which is ...

  5. Real number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_number

    The set of real numbers, sometimes called "the reals", is traditionally denoted by a bold R, often using blackboard bold, ⁠ ⁠. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] The adjective real , used in the 17th century by René Descartes , distinguishes real numbers from imaginary numbers such as the square roots of −1 .

  6. L(R) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L(R)

    R #, the sharp of the set of all reals, has the smallest Wadge degree of any set of reals not contained in L(R). While not every relation on the reals in L(R) has a uniformization in L(R), every such relation does have a uniformization in L(R #). Given any (set-size) generic extension V[G] of V, L(R) is an elementary submodel of L(R) as ...

  7. Standard basis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_basis

    Every vector a in three dimensions is a linear combination of the standard basis vectors i, j and k.. In mathematics, the standard basis (also called natural basis or canonical basis) of a coordinate vector space (such as or ) is the set of vectors, each of whose components are all zero, except one that equals 1. [1]

  8. Non-measurable set - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-measurable_set

    The set of those translates partitions the circle into a countable collection of disjoint sets, which are all pairwise congruent (by rational rotations). The set X {\displaystyle X} will be non-measurable for any rotation-invariant countably additive probability measure on S {\displaystyle S} : if X {\displaystyle X} has zero measure, countable ...

  9. Fuchsian group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuchsian_group

    Let Λ(Γ) be the limit set of Γ, that is, the set of limit points of Γz for z ∈ H. Then Λ(Γ) ⊆ R ∪ ∞. The limit set may be empty, or may contain one or two points, or may contain an infinite number. In the latter case, there are two types: A Fuchsian group of the first type is a group for which the limit set is the closed real line ...
