  2. Identity (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    Visual proof of the Pythagorean identity: for any angle , the point (,) = (⁡, ⁡) lies on the unit circle, which satisfies the equation + =.Thus, ⁡ + ⁡ =. In mathematics, an identity is an equality relating one mathematical expression A to another mathematical expression B, such that A and B (which might contain some variables) produce the same value for all values of the variables ...

  3. Identity element - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identity_element

    In mathematics, an identity element or neutral element of a binary operation is an element that leaves unchanged every element when the operation is applied. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] For example, 0 is an identity element of the addition of real numbers .

    A left identity element that is also a right identity element if called an identity element. The empty set ∅ {\displaystyle \varnothing } is an identity element of binary union ∪ {\displaystyle \cup } and symmetric difference , {\displaystyle \triangle ,} and it is also a right identity element of set subtraction ∖ : {\displaystyle ...

    The identity involving the limiting difference between harmonic numbers at scaled indices and its relationship to the logarithmic function provides an intriguing example of how discrete sequences can asymptotically relate to continuous functions. This identity is expressed as [8]

  6. Identity function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identity_function

    In mathematics, an identity function, also called an identity relation, identity map or identity transformation, is a function that always returns the value that was used as its argument, unchanged. That is, when f is the identity function, the equality f ( x ) = x is true for all values of x to which f can be applied.

    The base case b = 0 follows immediately from the identity element property (0 is an additive identity), which has been proved above: a + 0 = a = 0 + a. Next we will prove the base case b = 1, that 1 commutes with everything, i.e. for all natural numbers a, we have a + 1 = 1 + a.

  8. Group (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    The manipulations of the Rubik's Cube form the Rubik's Cube group.. In mathematics, a group is a set with an operation that associates an element of the set to every pair of elements of the set (as does every binary operation) and satisfies the following constraints: the operation is associative, it has an identity element, and every element of the set has an inverse element.

  9. Additive identity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Additive_identity

    In mathematics, the additive identity of a set that is equipped with the operation of addition is an element which, when added to any element x in the set, yields x.One of the most familiar additive identities is the number 0 from elementary mathematics, but additive identities occur in other mathematical structures where addition is defined, such as in groups and rings.
