    3. Between two groups, may mean that the first one is a proper subgroup of the second one. > (greater-than sign) 1. Strict inequality between two numbers; means and is read as "greater than". 2. Commonly used for denoting any strict order. 3. Between two groups, may mean that the second one is a proper subgroup of the first one. ≤ 1.

  3. Interval (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    The Encyclopedia of Mathematics [7] defines interval (without a qualifier) to exclude both endpoints (i.e., open interval) and segment to include both endpoints (i.e., closed interval), while Rudin's Principles of Mathematical Analysis [8] calls sets of the form [a, b] intervals and sets of the form (a, b) segments throughout.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inclusion–exclusion...

    Include the cardinalities of the quintuple-wise intersections. Continue, until the cardinality of the n -tuple-wise intersection is included (if n is odd) or excluded ( n even). The name comes from the idea that the principle is based on over-generous inclusion , followed by compensating exclusion .

  5. Natural number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_number

    Starting at 0 or 1 has long been a matter of definition. In 1727, Bernard Le Bovier de Fontenelle wrote that his notions of distance and element led to defining the natural numbers as including or excluding 0. [23] In 1889, Giuseppe Peano used N for the positive integers and started at 1, [24] but he later changed to using N 0 and N 1. [25]

    Tetris pieces I, J, L, O, S, T, Z. Consider the seven Tetris pieces (I, J, L, O, S, T, Z), known mathematically as the tetrominoes.If you consider all the possible rotations of these pieces — for example, if you consider the "I" oriented vertically to be distinct from the "I" oriented horizontally — then you find there are 19 distinct possible shapes to be displayed on the screen.

  7. Perfect number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_number

    In number theory, a perfect number is a positive integer that is equal to the sum of its positive proper divisors, that is, divisors excluding the number itself. [1] For instance, 6 has proper divisors 1, 2 and 3, and 1 + 2 + 3 = 6, so 6 is a perfect number. The next perfect number is 28, since 1 + 2 + 4 + 7 + 14 = 28.

    Here, the numbers may come as close as they like to 12, including 11.999 and so forth (with any finite number of 9s), but 12.0 is not included. In some European countries, the notation [ 5 , 12 [ {\displaystyle [5,12[} is also used for this, and wherever comma is used as decimal separator , semicolon might be used as a separator to avoid ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Workweek_and_weekend

    An eight-hour working day is the norm. Working three weekdays a fortnight, for example, would therefore be approximately twenty-four hours (including or excluding traditional breaks tallying up to two hours). Some people work overtime with extra pay on offer for those that do, especially for weekend work.
