    3. Between two groups, may mean that the first one is a proper subgroup of the second one. > (greater-than sign) 1. Strict inequality between two numbers; means and is read as "greater than". 2. Commonly used for denoting any strict order. 3. Between two groups, may mean that the second one is a proper subgroup of the first one. ≤ 1.

  4. Invariant (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    The phrases "invariant under" and "invariant to" a transformation are both used. More generally, an invariant with respect to an equivalence relation is a property that is constant on each equivalence class. [3] Invariants are used in diverse areas of mathematics such as geometry, topology, algebra and discrete mathematics. Some important ...

    Geometrically, the graph of an odd function has rotational symmetry with respect to the origin, meaning that its graph remains unchanged after rotation of 180 degrees about the origin. Examples of odd functions are x , x 3 , sin ( x ), sinh ( x ), and erf ( x ).

    One can also speak of "almost all" integers having a property to mean "all except finitely many", despite the integers not admitting a measure for which this agrees with the previous usage. For example, "almost all prime numbers are odd". There is a more complicated meaning for integers as well, discussed in the main article.

  7. Complement (set theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complement_(set_theory)

    If A is a set, then the absolute complement of A (or simply the complement of A) is the set of elements not in A (within a larger set that is implicitly defined). In other words, let U be a set that contains all the elements under study; if there is no need to mention U, either because it has been previously specified, or it is obvious and unique, then the absolute complement of A is the ...

    Radius vector represents the position of a point (,,) with respect to origin O. In Cartesian coordinate system = ^ + ^ + ^.. In geometry, a position or position vector, also known as location vector or radius vector, is a Euclidean vector that represents a point P in space.

  9. Notation for differentiation - Wikipedia

    D-notation leaves implicit the variable with respect to which differentiation is being done. However, this variable can also be made explicit by putting its name as a subscript: if f is a function of a variable x, this is done by writing [6] for the first derivative, for the second derivative,
