    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Period_(algebraic_geometry)

    In mathematics, specifically algebraic geometry, a period or algebraic period [1] is a complex number that can be expressed as an integral of an algebraic function over an algebraic domain. The periods are a class of numbers which includes, alongside the algebraic numbers, many well known mathematical constants such as the number π .

  3. Order (group theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_(group_theory)

    The order of an element of a group (also called period length or period) is the order of the subgroup generated by the element. If the group operation is denoted as a multiplication , the order of an element a of a group, is thus the smallest positive integer m such that a m = e , where e denotes the identity element of the group, and a m ...

  4. Order of operations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_operations

    As recently as the 1920s, the historian of mathematics Florian Cajori identifies disagreement about whether multiplication should have precedence over division, or whether they should be treated equally. The term "order of operations" and the "PEMDAS/BEDMAS" mnemonics were formalized only in the late 19th or early 20th century, as demand for ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodic_sequence

    A (purely) periodic sequence (with period p), or a p-periodic sequence, is a sequence a 1, a 2, a 3, ... satisfying . a n+p = a n. for all values of n. [1] [2] [3] If a sequence is regarded as a function whose domain is the set of natural numbers, then a periodic sequence is simply a special type of periodic function.

  6. Interval (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    In mathematics, a real interval is the set of all real numbers lying between two fixed endpoints with no "gaps". Each endpoint is either a real number or positive or negative infinity, indicating the interval extends without a bound. A real interval can contain neither endpoint, either endpoint, or both endpoints, excluding any endpoint which ...

  8. Periodic function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodic_function

    A nonzero constant P for which this is the case is called a period of the function. If there exists a least positive [2] constant P with this property, it is called the fundamental period (also primitive period, basic period, or prime period.) Often, "the" period of a function is used to mean its fundamental period.

    1000 or one thousand is the natural number following 999 and preceding 1001.In most English-speaking countries, it can be written with or without a comma or sometimes a period separating the thousands digit: 1,000.
