  2. Ordered pair - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordered_pair

    In mathematics, an ordered pair, denoted (a, b), is a pair of objects in which their order is significant. The ordered pair (a, b) is different from the ordered pair (b, a), unless a = b. In contrast, the unordered pair, denoted {a, b}, equals the unordered pair {b, a}. Ordered pairs are also called 2-tuples, or sequences (sometimes, lists in a ...

  3. Pythagorean triple - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagorean_triple

    A Pythagorean triple consists of three positive integers a, b, and c, such that a2 + b2 = c2. Such a triple is commonly written (a, b, c), a well-known example is (3, 4, 5). If (a, b, c) is a Pythagorean triple, then so is (ka, kb, kc) for any positive integer k. A triangle whose side lengths are a Pythagorean triple is a right triangle and ...

  5. Mutually orthogonal Latin squares - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutually_orthogonal_Latin...

    A Graeco-Latin square or Euler square or pair of orthogonal Latin squares of order n over two sets S and T (which may be the same), each consisting of n symbols, is an n × n arrangement of cells, each cell containing an ordered pair (s, t), where s is in S and t is in T, such that every row and every column contains each element of S and each element of T exactly once, and that no two cells ...

  6. Transitive relation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transitive_relation

    In mathematics, a binary relation R on a set X is transitive if, for all elements a, b, c in X, whenever R relates a to b and b to c, then R also relates a to c. Every partial order and every equivalence relation is transitive. For example, less than and equality among real numbers are both transitive: If a < b and b < c then a < c; and if x ...

  7. Intersection (set theory) - Wikipedia

    Definition. The intersection of two sets and denoted by , [3] is the set of all objects that are members of both the sets and In symbols: That is, is an element of the intersection if and only if is both an element of and an element of [3] For example: The intersection of the sets {1, 2, 3} and {2, 3, 4} is {2, 3}.

  8. Binary relation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_relation

    Precisely, a binary relation over sets and is a set of ordered pairs (,) where is in and is in . [2] It encodes the common concept of relation: an element x {\displaystyle x} is related to an element y {\displaystyle y} , if and only if the pair ( x , y ) {\displaystyle (x,y)} belongs to the set of ordered pairs that defines the binary relation.

  9. Axiom of reducibility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axiom_of_reducibility

    Van Heijenoort observes that "[b]y giving a definition of the ordered pair of two-elements in terms of class operations, the note reduced the theory of relations to that of classes." [ 22 ] But Wiener opined that while he had dispatched Russell and Whitehead's two-variable version of the axiom *12.11, the single-variable version of the axiom of ...
