  2. Zero to the power of zero - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_to_the_power_of_zero

    Zero to the power of zero, denoted as 0 0, is a mathematical expression that can take different values depending on the context. In certain areas of mathematics, such as combinatorics and algebra, 0 0 is conventionally defined as 1 because this assignment simplifies many formulas and ensures consistency in operations involving exponents.

  3. Exponential function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_function

    Exponential functions with bases 2 and 1/2. In mathematics, the exponential function is the unique real function which maps zero to one and has a derivative equal to its value. . The exponential of a variable ⁠ ⁠ is denoted ⁠ ⁡ ⁠ or ⁠ ⁠, with the two notations used interchangeab

  4. Exponentiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponentiation

    In mathematics, exponentiation, denoted b n, is an operation involving two numbers: the base, b, and the exponent or power, n. [1] When n is a positive integer, exponentiation corresponds to repeated multiplication of the base: that is, b n is the product of multiplying n bases: [1] = ⏟.

  5. Euler's identity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_identity

    The same formula applies to octonions, with a zero real part and a norm equal to 1. These formulas are a direct generalization of Euler's identity, since i {\displaystyle i} and − i {\displaystyle -i} are the only complex numbers with a zero real part and a norm (absolute value) equal to 1.

  6. List of mathematical constants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mathematical_constants

    A mathematical constant is a key number whose value is fixed by an unambiguous definition, often referred to by a symbol (e.g., an alphabet letter), or by mathematicians' names to facilitate using it across multiple mathematical problems. [1]

  7. Division by zero - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Division_by_zero

    For a vertical line, this is 1 : 0, a kind of division by zero. In another interpretation, the quotient Q {\displaystyle Q} represents the ratio N : D . {\displaystyle N:D.} [ 6 ] For example, a cake recipe might call for ten cups of flour and two cups of sugar, a ratio of 10 : 2 {\displaystyle 10:2} or, proportionally, 5 : 1. {\displaystyle 5:1.}

  8. Factorial - Wikipedia

    Here () denotes the sum of the base-digits of , and the exponent given by this formula can also be interpreted in advanced mathematics as the p-adic valuation of the factorial. [54] Applying Legendre's formula to the product formula for binomial coefficients produces Kummer's theorem , a similar result on the exponent of each prime in the ...

  9. Talk:Zero to the power of zero - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Zero_to_the_power_of_zero

    0^0 = 1 isn't saying there's one zero in a zero, that'd be 0/0 = 1 (which you point out). 0^0 is saying that when you multiply no 0's at all, you get 1 (the identity of multiplication). This is in part why x^0 = 1 in general; 0! is 1; the empty product is 1; etc. TricksterWolf ( talk ) 01:34, 12 October 2021 (UTC) [ reply ]
