  2. 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]

  3. Chebyshev equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chebyshev_equation

    Chebyshev's equation is the second order linear differential equation + = where p is a real (or complex) constant. The equation is named after Russian mathematician Pafnuty Chebyshev. The solutions can be obtained by power series:

  4. Firing order - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firing_order

    For this inline-4 engine, 1-3-4-2 could be a valid firing order.. The firing order of an internal combustion engine is the sequence of ignition for the cylinders.. In a spark ignition (e.g. gasoline/petrol) engine, the firing order corresponds to the order in which the spark plugs are operated.

  5. Degree of a polynomial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degree_of_a_polynomial

    For example, the polynomial +, which can also be written as +, has three terms. The first term has a degree of 5 (the sum of the powers 2 and 3), the second term has a degree of 1, and the last term has a degree of 0. Therefore, the polynomial has a degree of 5, which is the highest degree of any term.

  6. Constant function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constant_function

    The independent variable x does not appear on the right side of the function expression and so its value is "vacuously substituted"; namely y(0) = 4, y(−2.7) = 4, y(π) = 4, and so on. No matter what value of x is input, the output is 4. [1] The graph of the constant function y = c is a horizontal line in the plane that passes through the ...

  7. Direct image functor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_image_functor

    If dealing with sheaves of sets instead of sheaves of abelian groups, the same definition applies. Similarly, if f: (X, O X) → (Y, O Y) is a morphism of ringed spaces, we obtain a direct image functor f ∗: Sh(X,O X) → Sh(Y,O Y) from the category of sheaves of O X-modules to the category of sheaves of O Y-modules.

  8. Löwenheim–Skolem theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Löwenheim–Skolem_theorem

    A first-order theory consists of a fixed signature and a fixed set of sentences (formulas with no free variables) in that signature. [3]: 40 Theories are often specified by giving a list of axioms that generate the theory, or by giving a structure and taking the theory to consist of the sentences satisfied by the structure.

  9. Linear differential equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_differential_equation

    The highest order of derivation that appears in a (linear) differential equation is the order of the equation. The term b(x), which does not depend on the unknown function and its derivatives, is sometimes called the constant term of the equation (by analogy with algebraic equations), even when this term is a non-constant function.
