  2. Index notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Index_notation

    A vector treated as an array of numbers by writing as a row vector or column vector (whichever is used depends on convenience or context): = (), = Index notation allows indication of the elements of the array by simply writing a i, where the index i is known to run from 1 to n, because of n-dimensions.

  3. Scientific notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_notation

    Any real number can be written in the form m × 10 ^ n in many ways: for example, 350 can be written as 3.5 × 10 2 or 35 × 10 1 or 350 × 10 0. In normalized scientific notation (called "standard form" in the United Kingdom), the exponent n is chosen so that the absolute value of m remains at least one but less than ten (1 ≤ | m | < 10).

  4. Index of a subgroup - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Index_of_a_subgroup

    So for example if n is 5, the index cannot be 15 even though this divides 5!, because there is no subgroup of order 15 in S 5. In the case of n = 2 this gives the rather obvious result that a subgroup H of index 2 is a normal subgroup, because the normal subgroup of H must have index 2 in G and therefore be identical to H .

  5. Slide rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slide_rule

    Quadratic equations of the form + + = can be solved by first reducing the equation to the form + = (where = / and = /), and then aligning the index ("1") of the C scale to the value on the D scale. The cursor is then moved along the rule until a position is found where the numbers on the CI and D scales add up to p {\displaystyle p} .

  6. nth root - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nth_root

    If n is even, a complex number's nth roots, of which there are an even number, come in additive inverse pairs, so that if a number r 1 is one of the nth roots then r 2 = –r 1 is another. This is because raising the latter's coefficient –1 to the n th power for even n yields 1: that is, (– r 1 ) n = (–1) n × r 1 n = r 1 n .

  7. Multi-index notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-index_notation

    Multi-index notation is a mathematical notation that simplifies formulas used in multivariable calculus, partial differential equations and the theory of distributions, by generalising the concept of an integer index to an ordered tuple of indices.

  8. List of mathematical functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mathematical_functions

    Sigma function: Sums of powers of divisors of a given natural number. Euler's totient function: Number of numbers coprime to (and not bigger than) a given one. Prime-counting function: Number of primes less than or equal to a given number. Partition function: Order-independent count of ways to write a given positive integer as a sum of positive ...

  9. Primitive root modulo n - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primitive_root_modulo_n

    In modular arithmetic, a number g is a primitive root modulo n if every number a coprime to n is congruent to a power of g modulo n. That is, g is a primitive root modulo n if for every integer a coprime to n, there is some integer k for which g k ≡ a (mod n). Such a value k is called the index or discrete logarithm of a to the base g modulo n.
