    In fact, the fraction fields of the rings of regular functions on any affine open set will be the same, so we define, for any U, K X (U) to be the common fraction field of any ring of regular functions on any open affine subset of X. Alternatively, one can define the function field in this case to be the local ring of the generic point.

  4. Matrix (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    Some programming languages utilize doubly subscripted arrays (or arrays of arrays) to represent an m-by-n matrix. Some programming languages start the numbering of array indexes at zero, in which case the entries of an m -by- n matrix are indexed by 0 ≤ i ≤ m − 1 {\displaystyle 0\leq i\leq m-1} and 0 ≤ j ≤ n − 1 {\displaystyle 0\leq ...

  5. Field of fractions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_of_fractions

    The field of fractions of an integral domain is sometimes denoted by ⁡ or ⁡ (), and the construction is sometimes also called the fraction field, field of quotients, or quotient field of . All four are in common usage, but are not to be confused with the quotient of a ring by an ideal , which is a quite different concept.

  6. Iterated function system - Wikipedia

    The functions are normally contractive, which means they bring points closer together and make shapes smaller. Hence, the shape of an IFS fractal is made up of several possibly-overlapping smaller copies of itself, each of which is also made up of copies of itself, ad infinitum. This is the source of its self-similar fractal nature.

    Then the distance between two points is computed using the generalized circle through the points and perpendicular to the boundary of the subset used for the model. This generalized circle intersects the boundary at two other points. All four points are used in the cross ratio which defines the Cayley–Klein metric.

  8. Heaviside cover-up method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heaviside_cover-up_method

    When a partial fraction term has a single (i.e. unrepeated) binomial in the denominator, the numerator is a residue of the function defined by the input fraction. We calculate each respective numerator by (1) taking the root of the denominator (i.e. the value of x that makes the denominator zero) and (2) then substituting this root into the ...

  9. Floor and ceiling functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floor_and_ceiling_functions

    In mathematics, the floor function is the function that takes as input a real number x, and gives as output the greatest integer less than or equal to x, denoted ⌊x⌋ or floor(x). Similarly, the ceiling function maps x to the least integer greater than or equal to x , denoted ⌈ x ⌉ or ceil( x ) .
