  2. Pseudomathematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudomathematics

    Common examples of this include the following constructions in Euclidean geometry—using only a compass and straightedge: Squaring the circle: Given any circle drawing a square having the same area. Doubling the cube: Given any cube drawing a cube with twice its volume.

  3. Function of several real variables - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_of_several_real...

    The image of a function f(x 1, x 2, …, x n) is the set of all values of f when the n-tuple (x 1, x 2, …, x n) runs in the whole domain of f.For a continuous (see below for a definition) real-valued function which has a connected domain, the image is either an interval or a single value.

  4. Linear fractional transformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_fractional...

    An example of such linear fractional transformation is the Cayley transform, which was originally defined on the 3 × 3 real matrix ring. Linear fractional transformations are widely used in various areas of mathematics and its applications to engineering, such as classical geometry, number theory (they are used, for example, in Wiles's proof ...

    For example, for all (,], the function is increasing on the real line, converges to in , and () =. Therefore, we have that, the function x ↦ 1 − E α ( − x α ) {\displaystyle x\mapsto 1-E_{\alpha }(-x^{\alpha })} is the cumulative distribution function of a probability measure on the positive real numbers.

  6. Cauchy formula for repeated integration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cauchy_formula_for...

    The Cauchy formula for repeated integration, named after Augustin-Louis Cauchy, allows one to compress n antiderivatives of a function into a single integral (cf. Cauchy's formula). For non-integer n it yields the definition of fractional integrals and (with n < 0) fractional derivatives.

  7. Linear-fractional programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear-fractional_programming

    In contrast, a linear-fractional programming is used to achieve the highest ratio of outcome to cost, the ratio representing the highest efficiency. For example, in the context of LP we maximize the objective function profit = income − cost and might obtain maximum profit of $100 (= $1100 of income − $1000 of cost). Thus, in LP we have an ...

  8. Partial fraction decomposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial_fraction_decomposition

    In algebra, the partial fraction decomposition or partial fraction expansion of a rational fraction (that is, a fraction such that the numerator and the denominator are both polynomials) is an operation that consists of expressing the fraction as a sum of a polynomial (possibly zero) and one or several fractions with a simpler denominator.

  9. Field of fractions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_of_fractions

    The field of fractions of the convolution ring of half-line functions yields a space of operators, including the Dirac delta function, differential operator, and integral operator. This construction gives an alternate representation of the Laplace transform that does not depend explicitly on an integral transform. [6]
