  2. Free module - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_module

    In mathematics, a free module is a module that has a basis, that is, a generating set that is linearly independent. Every vector space is a free module, [ 1 ] but, if the ring of the coefficients is not a division ring (not a field in the commutative case), then there exist non-free modules.

  3. Field (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    f(X) = X n + a n−1 X n−1 + ⋯ + a 0 (where f is regarded as a polynomial in E(a 0, ..., a n−1), for some indeterminates a i, E is any field, and n ≥ 5). The tensor product of fields is not usually a field. For example, a finite extension F / E of degree n is a Galois extension if and only if there is an isomorphism of F-algebras F ⊗ ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian_elimination

    In mathematics, Gaussian elimination, also known as row reduction, is an algorithm for solving systems of linear equations. It consists of a sequence of row-wise operations performed on the corresponding matrix of coefficients.

  5. Floor and ceiling functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floor_and_ceiling_functions

    In mathematics, the floor function is the function that takes as input a real number x, and gives as output the greatest integer less than or equal to x, denoted ⌊x⌋ or floor(x). Similarly, the ceiling function maps x to the least integer greater than or equal to x, denoted ⌈x⌉ or ceil(x). [1]

  6. Finite field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_field

    In mathematics, a finite field or Galois field (so-named in honor of Évariste Galois) is a field that contains a finite number of elements.As with any field, a finite field is a set on which the operations of multiplication, addition, subtraction and division are defined and satisfy certain basic rules.

    The book has Drizzt Do'Urden as its nominal guide. [12] The guide starts with an introduction that defines the physical boundaries of the Underdark, and also describes the intent and organization of the book and gives a brief list of D&D materials which have a strong connection to the Underdark.

    The Barnes Opening (sometimes called Gedult's Opening) is a chess opening where White opens with: . 1. f3. The opening is named after Thomas Wilson Barnes (1825–1874), an English player who had an impressive [1] eight wins over Paul Morphy, including one game where Barnes answered 1.e4 with 1...f6, known as the Barnes Defence.

  9. Problem-based learning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Problem-based_learning

    The Maastricht seven-jump process involves clarifying terms, defining problem(s), brainstorming, structuring and hypothesis, learning objectives, independent study and synthesising. [1] In short, it is identifying what they already know, what they need to know, and how and where to access new information that may lead to the resolution of the ...
