  2. Simplification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simplification

    Simplification is the process of replacing a mathematical expression by an equivalent one that is simpler (usually shorter), according to a well-founded ordering. Examples include: Simplification of algebraic expressions, in computer algebra; Simplification of boolean expressions i.e. logic optimization

    In mathematics, an expression is a written arrangement of symbols following the context-dependent, ... one can simplify the expression by combining the like terms ...

  4. Order of operations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_operations

    Simplified formal grammar for arithmetical expressions in a programming language (left), [45] and derivation of the example expression (a+b)^2/2 (right). The latter corresponds to a hierarchical structure (" syntax tree ") which is unique for the given expression.

  5. Elementary algebra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elementary_algebra

    Algebraic expressions may be evaluated and simplified, based on the basic properties of arithmetic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and exponentiation). For example, For example,

  6. Algebraic expression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_expression

    In mathematics, an algebraic expression is an expression built up from constants (usually, algebraic numbers) variables, and the basic algebraic operations: addition (+), subtraction (-), multiplication (×), division (÷), whole number powers, and roots (fractional powers).

  7. Algebra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebra

    Algebra is the branch of mathematics that studies certain abstract systems, known as algebraic structures, and the manipulation of expressions within those systems. It is a generalization of arithmetic that introduces variables and algebraic operations other than the standard arithmetic operations, such as addition and multiplication.

  8. Closed-form expression - Wikipedia

    The quadratic formula =. is a closed form of the solutions to the general quadratic equation + + =. More generally, in the context of polynomial equations, a closed form of a solution is a solution in radicals; that is, a closed-form expression for which the allowed functions are only n th-roots and field operations (+,,, /).
