    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Jabr

    Al-Jabr (Arabic: الجبر), also known as The Compendious Book on Calculation by Completion and Balancing (Arabic: الكتاب المختصر في حساب الجبر والمقابلة, al-Kitāb al-Mukhtaṣar fī Ḥisāb al-Jabr wal-Muqābalah; [b] or Latin: Liber Algebræ et Almucabola), is an Arabic mathematical treatise on algebra written in Baghdad around 820 by the Persian polymath ...

  3. Eigenvalues and eigenvectors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eigenvalues_and_eigenvectors

    Consider an matrix A and a nonzero vector of length . If multiplying A with (denoted by ) simply scales by a factor of λ, where λ is a scalar, then is called an eigenvector of A, and λ is the corresponding eigenvalue.

  4. Algebra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebra

    Algebra is the branch of mathematics that studies certain abstract systems, known as algebraic structures, and the manipulation of expressions within those systems. It is a generalization of arithmetic that introduces variables and algebraic operations other than the standard arithmetic operations, such as addition and multiplication.

  5. Schur's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schur's_theorem

    In combinatorics, Schur's theorem tells the number of ways for expressing a given number as a (non-negative, integer) linear combination of a fixed set of relatively prime numbers.

  6. Vector (mathematics and physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_(mathematics_and...

    In the natural sciences, a vector quantity (also known as a vector physical quantity, physical vector, or simply vector) is a vector-valued physical quantity. [9] [10] It is typically formulated as the product of a unit of measurement and a vector numerical value (), often a Euclidean vector with magnitude and direction.

  7. Algebra over a field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebra_over_a_field

    In mathematics, an algebra over a field (often simply called an algebra) is a vector space equipped with a bilinear product.Thus, an algebra is an algebraic structure consisting of a set together with operations of multiplication and addition and scalar multiplication by elements of a field and satisfying the axioms implied by "vector space" and "bilinear".

  8. Abstract algebra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abstract_algebra

    The permutations of the Rubik's Cube form a group, a fundamental concept within abstract algebra.. In mathematics, more specifically algebra, abstract algebra or modern algebra is the study of algebraic structures, which are sets with specific operations acting on their elements. [1]

  9. Al Jabbar Grand Mosque - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Jabbar_Grand_Mosque

    "Aljabar" is the Indonesian word for algebra, which was founded by a Muslim. Coincidentally, "Jabar" is also an acronym for Jawa Barat and a nickname for the province of West Java ; thus, the name Masjid Al Jabbar or Al Jabar can also be translated as "Mosque in West Java" or "West Java Mosque".
