  2. Order of operations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_operations

    For example, multiplication is granted a higher precedence than addition, and it has been this way since the introduction of modern algebraic notation. [2] [3] Thus, in the expression 1 + 2 × 3, the multiplication is performed before addition, and the expression has the value 1 + (2 × 3) = 7, and not (1 + 2) × 3 = 9.

  3. Pell's equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pell's_equation

    The relationship to the continued fractions implies that the solutions to Pell's equation form a semigroup subset of the modular group. Thus, for example, if p and q satisfy Pell's equation, then is a matrix of unit determinant. Products of such matrices take exactly the same form, and thus all such products yield solutions to Pell's equation.

  4. Cancelling out - Wikipedia

    So some care may be needed to ensure that cancelling out is done correctly and no solutions are overlooked or incorrect. Our simple inequality has three sets of solutions, which are: b > 0 and a ≥ 3. (For example b = 5 and a = 6 is a solution because 6 x 5 is 30 and 3 x 5 is 15, and 30 ≥ 15) or

    For example, is an expression, while the inequality is a formula. To evaluate an expression means to find a numerical value equivalent to the expression. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] Expressions can be evaluated or simplified by replacing operations that appear in them with their result.

  6. FOIL method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FOIL_method

    In elementary algebra, FOIL is a mnemonic for the standard method of multiplying two binomials [1] —hence the method may be referred to as the FOIL method.The word FOIL is an acronym for the four terms of the product:

  7. Universal algebra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_algebra

    Universal algebra (sometimes called general algebra) is the field of mathematics that studies algebraic structures themselves, not examples ("models") of algebraic structures. For instance, rather than take particular groups as the object of study, in universal algebra one takes the class of groups as an object of study.

    An example of a nonlinear delay differential equation; applications in number theory, distribution of primes, and control theory [5] [6] [7] Chrystal's equation: 1 + + + = Generalization of Clairaut's equation with a singular solution [8] Clairaut's equation: 1

  9. Multilinear polynomial - Wikipedia

    For example (,,) = + is a multilinear polynomial of degree (because of the monomial ) whereas (,,) = + is not. The degree of a multilinear polynomial is the maximum number of distinct variables occurring in any monomial.
