  2. Triple product rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_product_rule

    Suppose a function f(x, y, z) = 0, where x, y, and z are functions of each other. Write the total differentials of the variables = + = + Substitute dy into dx = [() + ()] + By using the chain rule one can show the coefficient of dx on the right hand side is equal to one, thus the coefficient of dz must be zero () + = Subtracting the second term and multiplying by its inverse gives the triple ...

  3. Cyclic (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclic_(mathematics)

    Cyclic notation, a way of writing permutations; Cyclic number, a number such that cyclic permutations of the digits are successive multiples of the number; Cyclic order, a ternary relation defining a way to arrange a set of objects in a circle; Cyclic permutation, a permutation with one nontrivial orbit; Cyclic polygon, a polygon which can be ...

  4. Cyclic permutation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclic_permutation

    In mathematics, and in particular in group theory, a cyclic permutation is a permutation consisting of a single cycle. [1] [2] In some cases, cyclic permutations are referred to as cycles; [3] if a cyclic permutation has k elements, it may be called a k-cycle. Some authors widen this definition to include permutations with fixed points in ...

    In mathematics, a cyclic order is a way to arrange a set ... by the following rule: [5] ... For example, although the cyclic order of pitch classes is compatible with ...

  6. Triple product - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_product

    (For example, the factor of 2 used for doubling a vector does not change if the vector is in spherical vs. rectangular coordinates.) However, if each vector is transformed by a matrix then the triple product ends up being multiplied by the determinant of the transformation matrix, which could be quite arbitrary for a non-rotation.

  7. Cyclic number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclic_number

    For example, the case b = 10, p = 7 gives the cyclic number 142857, and the case b = 12, p = 5 gives the cyclic number 2497. Not all values of p will yield a cyclic number using this formula; for example, the case b = 10, p = 13 gives 076923076923, and the case b = 12, p = 19 gives 076B45076B45076B45. These failed cases will always contain a ...

  8. Cycles and fixed points - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cycles_and_fixed_points

    In mathematics, the cycles of a permutation π of a finite set S correspond bijectively to the orbits of the subgroup generated by π acting on S. These orbits are subsets of S that can be written as { c 1, ..., c n}, such that π (c i) = c i + 1 for i = 1, ..., n − 1, and π (c n) = c 1. The corresponding cycle of π is written as ( c 1 c 2...

  9. Cyclic quadrilateral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclic_quadrilateral

    Examples of cyclic quadrilaterals. In Euclidean geometry, a cyclic quadrilateral or inscribed quadrilateral is a quadrilateral whose vertices all lie on a single circle.This circle is called the circumcircle or circumscribed circle, and the vertices are said to be concyclic.
