  2. Polynomial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial

    Polynomials of degree one, two or three are respectively linear polynomials, quadratic polynomials and cubic polynomials. [8] For higher degrees, the specific names are not commonly used, although quartic polynomial (for degree four) and quintic polynomial (for degree five) are sometimes used. The names for the degrees may be applied to the ...

  3. Möbius ladder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Möbius_ladder

    In graph theory, the Möbius ladder M n, for even numbers n, is formed from an n-cycle by adding edges (called "rungs") connecting opposite pairs of vertices in the cycle. It is a cubic, circulant graph, so-named because (with the exception of M 6 (the utility graph K 3,3), M n has exactly n/2 four-cycles [1] which link together by their shared edges to form a topological Möbius strip.

  4. Ring theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_theory

    A basic (and perhaps the most fundamental) question in the classical invariant theory is to find and study polynomials in the polynomial ring [] that are invariant under the action of a finite group (or more generally reductive) G on V.

  5. Mathematics - Wikipedia

    Mathematics is a field of study that discovers and organizes methods, theories and theorems that are developed and proved for the needs of empirical sciences and mathematics itself.

  6. Chebyshev polynomials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chebyshev_polynomials

    Plot of the Chebyshev polynomial of the first kind () with = in the complex plane from -2-2i to 2+2i with colors created with Mathematica 13.1 function ComplexPlot3D. The Chebyshev polynomials are two sequences of polynomials related to the cosine and sine functions, notated as () and ().

  7. Wave function - Wikipedia

    [nb 10] Its basis is {e i, i ∈ Z} with e i (j) = δ ij, i, j ∈ Z. The most basic example of spanning polynomials is in the space of square integrable functions on the interval [–1, 1] for which the Legendre polynomials is a Hilbert space basis (complete orthonormal set). The square integrable functions on the unit sphere S 2 is a Hilbert ...

  8. Chern–Weil homomorphism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chern–Weil_homomorphism

    Choose any connection form ω in P, and let Ω be the associated curvature form; i.e., =, the exterior covariant derivative of ω. If [] is a homogeneous polynomial function of degree k; i.e., () = for any complex number a and x in , then, viewing f as a symmetric multilinear functional on (see the ring of polynomial functions), let

  9. Degree of a polynomial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degree_of_a_polynomial

    For polynomials in two or more variables, the degree of a term is the sum of the exponents of the variables in the term; the degree (sometimes called the total degree) of the polynomial is again the maximum of the degrees of all terms in the polynomial. For example, the polynomial x 2 y 2 + 3x 3 + 4y has degree 4, the same degree as the term x ...
