  2. Rational function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rational_function

    Every Laurent polynomial can be written as a rational function while the converse is not necessarily true, i.e., the ring of Laurent polynomials is a subring of the rational functions. The rational function () = is equal to 1 for all x except 0, where there is a removable singularity. The sum, product, or quotient (excepting division by the ...

  3. Function field of an algebraic variety - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_field_of_an...

    In algebraic geometry, the function field of an algebraic variety V consists of objects that are interpreted as rational functions on V.In classical algebraic geometry they are ratios of polynomials; in complex geometry these are meromorphic functions and their higher-dimensional analogues; in modern algebraic geometry they are elements of some quotient ring's field of fractions.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presentation_program

    LibreOffice Impress, one of the most popular free and open-source presentation programs. In computing, a presentation program (also called presentation software) is a software package used to display information in the form of a slide show. It has three major functions: [1] an editor that allows text to be inserted and formatted

  5. Rational number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rational_number

    In mathematics, "rational" is often used as a noun abbreviating "rational number". The adjective rational sometimes means that the coefficients are rational numbers. For example, a rational point is a point with rational coordinates (i.e., a point whose coordinates are rational numbers); a rational matrix is a matrix of rational numbers; a rational polynomial may be a polynomial with rational ...

  6. Field (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    For example, the field Q(i) of Gaussian rationals is the subfield of C consisting of all numbers of the form a + bi where both a and b are rational numbers: summands of the form i 2 (and similarly for higher exponents) do not have to be considered here, since a + bi + ci 2 can be simplified to a − c + bi.

  7. Thomae's function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomae's_function

    Thomae mentioned it as an example for an integrable function with infinitely many discontinuities in an early textbook on Riemann's notion of integration. [ 4 ] Since every rational number has a unique representation with coprime (also termed relatively prime) p ∈ Z {\displaystyle p\in \mathbb {Z} } and q ∈ N {\displaystyle q\in \mathbb {N ...

  8. Presentation of a group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presentation_of_a_group

    Informally, G has the above presentation if it is the "freest group" generated by S subject only to the relations R. Formally, the group G is said to have the above presentation if it is isomorphic to the quotient of a free group on S by the normal subgroup generated by the relations R. As a simple example, the cyclic group of order n has the ...

  9. Ordered field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordered_field

    For example, the real numbers form an Archimedean field, but hyperreal numbers form a non-Archimedean field, because it extends real numbers with elements greater than any standard natural number. [4] An ordered field F is isomorphic to the real number field R if and only if every non-empty subset of F with an upper bound in F has a least upper ...
