  2. Argument (complex analysis) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_(complex_analysis)

    Figure 1. This Argand diagram represents the complex number lying on a plane.For each point on the plane, arg is the function which returns the angle . In mathematics (particularly in complex analysis), the argument of a complex number z, denoted arg(z), is the angle between the positive real axis and the line joining the origin and z, represented as a point in the complex plane, shown as in ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_number

    Argand called cos φ + i sin φ the direction factor, and = + the modulus; [d] [48] Cauchy (1821) called cos φ + i sin φ the reduced form (l'expression réduite) [49] and apparently introduced the term argument; Gauss used i for , [e] introduced the term complex number for a + bi, [f] and called a 2 + b 2 the norm.

  4. Arg max - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arg_max

    However, the normalised sinc function (blue) has arg min of {−1.43, 1.43}, approximately, because their global minima occur at x = ±1.43, even though the minimum value is the same. [1] In mathematics, the arguments of the maxima (abbreviated arg max or argmax) and arguments of the minima (abbreviated arg min or argmin) are the input points ...

  5. Currying - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Currying

    In set theory, the notation is used to denote the set of functions from the set to the set . Currying is the natural bijection between the set A B × C {\displaystyle A^{B\times C}} of functions from B × C {\displaystyle B\times C} to A {\displaystyle A} , and the set ( A C ) B {\displaystyle (A^{C})^{B}} of functions from B {\displaystyle B ...

  6. Python syntax and semantics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_syntax_and_semantics

    Numeric literals in Python are of the normal sort, e.g. 0, -1, 3.4, 3.5e-8. Python has arbitrary-length integers and automatically increases their storage size as necessary. Prior to Python 3, there were two kinds of integral numbers: traditional fixed size integers and "long" integers of arbitrary size.

  7. Lambda calculus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambda_calculus

    The Church numeral n is a function that takes a function f as argument and returns the n-th composition of f, i.e. the function f composed with itself n times. This is denoted f ( n ) and is in fact the n -th power of f (considered as an operator); f (0) is defined to be the identity function.

  8. Ackermann function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ackermann_function

    A single-argument version () = (,) that increases both and at the same time dwarfs every primitive recursive function, including very fast-growing functions such as the exponential function, the factorial function, multi- and superfactorial functions, and even functions defined using Knuth's up-arrow notation (except when the indexed up-arrow ...

  9. Lambda lifting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambda_lifting

    The function f, which adds sum's argument to the sum of the numbers less than the argument, is a local function. Within the definition of f, n is a free variable. Start by converting the free variable to a parameter:
