  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. Triple bar - Wikipedia

    The closely related code point U+2262 ≢ NOT IDENTICAL TO (≢, ≢) is the same symbol with a slash through it, indicating the negation of its mathematical meaning. [ 1 ] In LaTeX mathematical formulas, the code \equiv produces the triple bar symbol and \not\equiv produces the negated triple bar symbol ≢ {\displaystyle \not ...

  4. Independent and identically distributed random variables

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independent_and...

    The definition extends naturally to more than two random variables. We say that random variables , …, are i.i.d. if they are independent (see further Independence (probability theory) § More than two random variables) and identically distributed, i.e. if and only if

  5. Equals sign - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equals_sign

    The first use of an equals sign, equivalent to 14x+15=71 in modern notation.From The Whetstone of Witte (1557) by Robert Recorde. Recorde's introduction of "=" Before the 16th century, there was no common symbol for equality, and equality was usually expressed with a word, such as aequales, aequantur, esgale, faciunt, ghelijck, or gleich, and sometimes by the abbreviated form aeq, or simply æ ...

  6. Independence (probability theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independence_(probability...

    Independence is a fundamental notion in probability theory, as in statistics and the theory of stochastic processes.Two events are independent, statistically independent, or stochastically independent [1] if, informally speaking, the occurrence of one does not affect the probability of occurrence of the other or, equivalently, does not affect the odds.

  7. Wald's equation - Wikipedia

    Then S N is identically equal to zero, hence E[S N] = 0, but E[X 1] = ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ and E[N] = ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ and therefore Wald's equation does not hold. Indeed, the assumptions , , and are satisfied, however, the equation in assumption holds for all n ∈ except for n = 1.

  8. Symmetry of second derivatives - Wikipedia

    Finally in 1867 Lindelöf systematically analyzed all the earlier flawed proofs and was able to exhibit a specific counterexample where mixed derivatives failed to be equal. [6] [7] Six years after that, Schwarz succeeded in giving the first rigorous proof. [8] Dini later contributed by finding more general conditions than those of Schwarz.

  9. Set function - Wikipedia

    The only translation-invariant measure on = with domain ℘ that is finite on every compact subset of is the trivial set function ℘ [,] that is identically equal to (that is, it sends every to ) [6] However, if countable additivity is weakened to finite additivity then a non-trivial set function with these properties does exist and moreover ...
