  2. Power of 10 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_of_10

    Visualisation of powers of 10 from one to 1 trillion. In mathematics, a power of 10 is any of the integer powers of the number ten; in other words, ten multiplied by itself a certain number of times (when the power is a positive integer).

  3. Imaginary number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imaginary_number

    An imaginary number is the product of a real number and the imaginary unit i, [note 1] which is defined by its property i 2 = −1. [1] [2] The square of an imaginary number bi is −b 2. For example, 5i is an imaginary number, and its square is −25. The number zero is considered to be both real and imaginary. [3]

  4. Complex number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_number

    A complex number can be visually represented as a pair of numbers (a, b) forming a vector on a diagram called an Argand diagram, representing the complex plane. Re is the real axis, Im is the imaginary axis, and i is the "imaginary unit", that satisfies i 2 = −1.

  5. Eigendecomposition of a matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eigendecomposition_of_a_matrix

    Let A be a square n × n matrix with n linearly independent eigenvectors q i (where i = 1, ..., n).Then A can be factored as = where Q is the square n × n matrix whose i th column is the eigenvector q i of A, and Λ is the diagonal matrix whose diagonal elements are the corresponding eigenvalues, Λ ii = λ i.

  6. Imaginary unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imaginary_unit

    The imaginary unit or unit imaginary number (i) is a mathematical constant that is a solution to the quadratic equation x 2 + 1 = 0. Although there is no real number with this property, i can be used to extend the real numbers to what are called complex numbers , using addition and multiplication .

  7. Matrix decomposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_decomposition

    [1] [nb 1] Decomposition: A = L U {\displaystyle A=LU} , where L is lower triangular and U is upper triangular . Related: the LDU decomposition is A = L D U {\displaystyle A=LDU} , where L is lower triangular with ones on the diagonal, U is upper triangular with ones on the diagonal, and D is a diagonal matrix .

  8. Catalan number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalan_number

    [0,0,2,3] [0,1,1,3] [0,1,2,2] [0,1,2,3] A convex polygon with n + 2 sides can be cut into triangles by connecting vertices with non-crossing line segments (a form of polygon triangulation ). The number of triangles formed is n and the number of different ways that this can be achieved is C n .

  9. Principal component analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principal_component_analysis

    Principal component analysis (PCA) is a linear dimensionality reduction technique with applications in exploratory data analysis, visualization and data preprocessing.. The data is linearly transformed onto a new coordinate system such that the directions (principal components) capturing the largest variation in the data can be easily identified.
