  2. Power residue symbol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_residue_symbol

    In algebraic number theory the n-th power residue symbol (for an integer n > 2) is a generalization of the (quadratic) Legendre symbol to n-th powers. These symbols are used in the statement and proof of cubic , quartic , Eisenstein , and related higher [ 1 ] reciprocity laws .

  3. Quadratic Hilbert symbol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilbert_symbol

    The Hilbert symbol can also be used to denote the central simple algebra over K with basis 1,i,j,k and multiplication rules =, =, = =.In this case the algebra represents an element of order 2 in the Brauer group of K, which is identified with -1 if it is a division algebra and +1 if it is isomorphic to the algebra of 2 by 2 matrices.

    The graph of a univariate quadratic function is a parabola whose axis of symmetry is parallel to the y-axis, as shown at right. If the quadratic function is set equal to zero, then the result is a quadratic equation. The solutions to the univariate equation are called the roots of the univariate function.

    Depending on authors, the term "maps" or the term "functions" may be reserved for specific kinds of functions or morphisms (e.g., function as an analytic term and map as a general term). mathematics See mathematics. multivalued A "multivalued function” from a set A to a set B is a function from A to the subsets of B.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_equation

    The numbers a, b, and c are the coefficients of the equation and may be distinguished by respectively calling them, the quadratic coefficient, the linear coefficient and the constant coefficient or free term. [2] The values of x that satisfy the equation are called solutions of the equation, and roots or zeros of the quadratic function on its ...

    Lattice of the 14 Dyck words of length 8 – (and ) interpreted as up and down. C n is the number of Dyck words [6] of length 2n. A Dyck word is a string consisting of n X's and n Y's such that no initial segment of the string has more Y's than X's. For example, the following are the Dyck words up to length 6:

    The original triple comprises the constant term in each of the respective quadratic equations. Below is a sample output from these equations. The effect of these equations is to cause the m-value in the Euclid equations to increment in steps of 4, while the n-value increments by 1.

  9. Gauss's lemma (number theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauss's_lemma_(number_theory)

    Gauss's lemma in number theory gives a condition for an integer to be a quadratic residue.Although it is not useful computationally, it has theoretical significance, being involved in some proofs of quadratic reciprocity.
