  2. Proofs of trigonometric identities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proofs_of_trigonometric...

    Trigonometric functions specify the relationships between side lengths and interior angles of a right triangle. For example, the sine of angle θ is defined as being the length of the opposite side divided by the length of the hypotenuse.

  3. Ceva's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceva's_theorem

    Ceva's theorem is a theorem of affine geometry, in the sense that it may be stated and proved without using the concepts of angles, areas, and lengths (except for the ratio of the lengths of two line segments that are collinear). It is therefore true for triangles in any affine plane over any field.

  4. Bayes classifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayes_classifier

    In theoretical terms, a classifier is a measurable function : {,, …,}, with the interpretation that C classifies the point x to the class C(x). The probability of misclassification, or risk , of a classifier C is defined as R ( C ) = P ⁡ { C ( X ) ≠ Y } . {\displaystyle {\mathcal {R}}(C)=\operatorname {P} \{C(X)\neq Y\}.}

  5. Mathematical proof - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_proof

    In proof by exhaustion, the conclusion is established by dividing it into a finite number of cases and proving each one separately. The number of cases sometimes can become very large. For example, the first proof of the four color theorem was a proof by exhaustion with 1,936 cases. This proof was controversial because the majority of the cases ...

  6. Curry–Howard correspondence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curry–Howard_correspondence

    As an example, consider a proof of the theorem α → α. In lambda calculus, this is the type of the identity function I = λx.x and in combinatory logic, the identity function is obtained by applying S = λfgx.fx(gx) twice to K = λxy.x. That is, I = ((S K) K). As a description of a proof, this says that the following steps can be used to ...

  7. Quadratic reciprocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_reciprocity

    Gauss published the first and second proofs of the law of quadratic reciprocity on arts 125–146 and 262 of Disquisitiones Arithmeticae in 1801.. In number theory, the law of quadratic reciprocity is a theorem about modular arithmetic that gives conditions for the solvability of quadratic equations modulo prime numbers.

  8. De Rham theorem - Wikipedia

    Finally, the theorem says that the induced homomorphism [] is an isomorphism (i.e., bijective). [2] There is also a variant of the theorem that says the de Rham cohomology of M is isomorphic as a ring with the Čech cohomology of it. [3] This Čech version is essentially due to André Weil.

  9. Polynomial interpolation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial_interpolation

    Theorem — For any function f(x) continuous on an interval [a,b] there exists a table of nodes for which the sequence of interpolating polynomials () converges to f(x) uniformly on [a,b]. Proof It is clear that the sequence of polynomials of best approximation p n ∗ ( x ) {\displaystyle p_{n}^{*}(x)} converges to f ( x ) uniformly (due to ...
