  2. Mathematical diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_diagram

    In a Hasse diagram, it is required that the curves be drawn so that each meets exactly two vertices: its two endpoints. Any such diagram (given that the vertices are labeled) uniquely determines a partial order, and any partial order has a unique transitive reduction, but there are many possible placements of elements in the plane, resulting in ...

  3. Plateau (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    A plateau of a function is a part of its domain where the function has constant value. More formally, let U , V be topological spaces . A plateau for a function f : U → V is a path-connected set of points P of U such that for some y we have

    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.

  5. Multiple representations (mathematics education) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_representations...

    The use of multiple representations supports and requires tasks that involve decision-making and other problem-solving skills. [2] [3] [4] The choice of which representation to use, the task of making representations given other representations, and the understanding of how changes in one representation affect others are examples of such mathematically sophisticated activities.

  6. Curve sketching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curve_sketching

    The resulting diagram is then analyzed to produce information about the curve. Specifically, draw a diagonal line connecting two points on the diagram so that every other point is either on or to the right and above it. There is at least one such line if the curve passes through the origin. Let the equation of the line be qα+pβ=r.

  7. Voronoi diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voronoi_diagram

    When two cells in the Voronoi diagram share a boundary, it is a line segment, ray, or line, consisting of all the points in the plane that are equidistant to their two nearest sites. The vertices of the diagram, where three or more of these boundaries meet, are the points that have three or more equally distant nearest sites.

  8. Cobweb plot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cobweb_plot

    An animated cobweb diagram of the logistic map = (), showing chaotic behaviour for most values of >. A cobweb plot , known also as Lémeray Diagram or Verhulst diagram is a visual tool used in the dynamical systems field of mathematics to investigate the qualitative behaviour of one-dimensional iterated functions , such as the logistic map .

  9. Hypotenuse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypotenuse

    The length of the hypotenuse can be found using the Pythagorean theorem, which states that the square of the length of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the lengths of the two legs. Mathematically, this can be written as a 2 + b 2 = c 2 {\displaystyle a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}} , where a is the length of one leg, b is the length of ...
