  2. List of unsolved problems in mathematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unsolved_problems...

    Many mathematical problems have been stated but not yet solved. These problems come from many areas of mathematics, such as theoretical physics, computer science, algebra, analysis, combinatorics, algebraic, differential, discrete and Euclidean geometries, graph theory, group theory, model theory, number theory, set theory, Ramsey theory, dynamical systems, and partial differential equations.

  3. Transversality (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    In mathematics, transversality is a notion that describes how spaces can intersect; transversality can be seen as the "opposite" of tangency, and plays a role in general position. It formalizes the idea of a generic intersection in differential topology. It is defined by considering the linearizations of the intersecting spaces at the points of ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossed_ladders_problem

    ⁠ 1 / 1/2 ⁠ + ⁠ 1 / 1 ⁠ = ⁠ 1 / h ⁠ ∴ 2 + 1 = ⁠ 1 / h ⁠ ∴ h = ⁠ 1 / 2 + 1 ⁠ = ⁠ 1 / 3 ⁠ One side (left in the illustration) is partially folded in half and pinched to leave a mark. The intersection of a line from this mark to an opposite corner (red) with a diagonal (blue) is exactly one third from the bottom edge.

    Intersection of three sets: Intersections of the unaccented modern Greek, Latin, and Cyrillic scripts, considering only the shapes of the letters and ignoring their pronunciation Example of an intersection with sets

  6. Union (set theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_(set_theory)

    For example, the union of three sets A, B, and C contains all elements of A, all elements of B, and all elements of C, and nothing else. Thus, x is an element of A ∪ B ∪ C if and only if x is in at least one of A , B , and C .

  7. List of set identities and relations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_set_identities_and...

    In constructive mathematics, "not empty" and "inhabited" are not equivalent: every inhabited set is not empty but the converse is not always guaranteed; that is, in constructive mathematics, a set that is not empty (where by definition, "is empty" means that the statement () is true) might not have an inhabitant (which is an such that ).

  8. Algebra of sets - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebra_of_sets

    In mathematics, the algebra of sets, not to be confused with the mathematical structure of an algebra of sets, defines the properties and laws of sets, the set-theoretic operations of union, intersection, and complementation and the relations of set equality and set inclusion. It also provides systematic procedures for evaluating expressions ...

  9. Intersection - Wikipedia

    The intersection (red) of two disks (white and red with black boundaries). The circle (black) intersects the line (purple) in two points (red). The disk (yellow) intersects the line in the line segment between the two red points. The intersection of D and E is shown in grayish purple. The intersection of A with any of B, C, D, or E is the empty ...
