  2. Field with one element - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_with_one_element

    The first published definition of a variety over F 1 came from Christophe Soulé in 1999, [6] who constructed it using algebras over the complex numbers and functors from categories of certain rings. [6] In 2000, Zhu proposed that F 1 was the same as F 2 except that the sum of one and one was one, not zero. [7]

  3. Millennium Prize Problems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millennium_Prize_Problems

    The Clay Mathematics Institute officially designated the title Millennium Problem for the seven unsolved mathematical problems, the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture, Hodge conjecture, Navier–Stokes existence and smoothness, P versus NP problem, Riemann hypothesis, Yang–Mills existence and mass gap, and the Poincaré conjecture at the ...

  4. Argument of a function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_of_a_function

    In mathematics, an argument of a function is a value provided to obtain the function's result. It is also called an independent variable. [1]For example, the binary function (,) = + has two arguments, and , in an ordered pair (,).

  5. Exercise (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    Supplementary exercises at the end of each chapter expand the other exercise sets and provide cumulative exercises that require skills from earlier chapters. This text includes "Functions and Graphs in Applications" (Ch 0.6) which is fourteen pages of preparation for word problems. Authors of a book on finite fields chose their exercises freely ...

    supremum = least upper bound. A lower bound of a subset of a partially ordered set (,) is an element of such that . for all .; A lower bound of is called an infimum (or greatest lower bound, or meet) of if

  7. Method of characteristics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_of_characteristics

    In mathematics, the method of characteristics is a technique for solving partial differential equations.Typically, it applies to first-order equations, though in general characteristic curves can also be found for hyperbolic and parabolic partial differential equation.

  8. Moduli space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moduli_space

    In mathematics, in particular algebraic geometry, a moduli space is a geometric space (usually a scheme or an algebraic stack) whose points represent algebro-geometric objects of some fixed kind, or isomorphism classes of such objects.

  9. Propagation of uncertainty - Wikipedia

    Any non-linear differentiable function, (,), of two variables, and , can be expanded as + +. If we take the variance on both sides and use the formula [11] for the variance of a linear combination of variables ⁡ (+) = ⁡ + ⁡ + ⁡ (,), then we obtain | | + | | +, where is the standard deviation of the function , is the standard deviation of , is the standard deviation of and = is the ...
