  2. Algebraic structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_structure

    For an algebraic structure to be a variety, its operations must be defined for all members of S; there can be no partial operations. Structures whose axioms unavoidably include nonidentities are among the most important ones in mathematics, e.g., fields and division rings. Structures with nonidentities present challenges varieties do not.

  3. Space (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    axioms of a space need not determine all geometric properties geometry is an autonomous and living science classical geometry is a universal language of mathematics space is three-dimensional different concepts of dimension apply to different kind of spaces space is the universe of geometry

  4. Outline of algebraic structures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Outline_of_algebraic_structures

    In mathematics, many types of algebraic structures are studied. Abstract algebra is primarily the study of specific algebraic structures and their properties. Algebraic structures may be viewed in different ways, however the common starting point of algebra texts is that an algebraic object incorporates one or more sets with one or more binary operations or unary operations satisfying a ...

  5. Mathematical structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_structure

    In mathematics, a structure on a set (or on some sets) refers to providing it (or them) with certain additional features (e.g. an operation, relation, metric, or topology). Τhe additional features are attached or related to the set (or to the sets), so as to provide it (or them) with some additional meaning or significance.

    A sample space, , which is the set of all possible outcomes. An event space , which is a set of events , F {\displaystyle {\mathcal {F}}} , an event being a set of outcomes in the sample space. A probability function , P {\displaystyle P} , which assigns, to each event in the event space, a probability , which is a number between 0 and 1 ...

  7. System of linear equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_of_linear_equations

    A linear system in three variables determines a collection of planes.The intersection point is the solution. In mathematics, a system of linear equations (or linear system) is a collection of two or more linear equations involving the same variables.

  8. Outline of algebra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_algebra

    Fundamental theorem of algebra – states that every non-constant single-variable polynomial with complex coefficients has at least one complex root. This includes polynomials with real coefficients, since every real number is a complex number with an imaginary part equal to zero.

  9. Type (model theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_(model_theory)

    In model theory and related areas of mathematics, a type is an object that describes how a (real or possible) element or finite collection of elements in a mathematical structure might behave. More precisely, it is a set of first-order formulas in a language L with free variables x 1 , x 2 ,..., x n that are true of a set of n -tuples of an L ...
