  2. Cayley table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cayley_table

    The group {1, −1} above and the cyclic group of order 3 under ordinary multiplication are both examples of abelian groups, and inspection of the symmetry of their Cayley tables verifies this. In contrast, the smallest non-abelian group, the dihedral group of order 6 , does not have a symmetric Cayley table.

  3. Vedic square - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vedic_square

    In Indian mathematics, a Vedic square is a variation on a typical 9 × 9 multiplication table where the entry in each cell is the digital root of the product of the column and row headings i.e. the remainder when the product of the row and column headings is divided by 9 (with remainder 0 represented by 9).

  4. Multiplication table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplication_table

    In mathematics, a multiplication table (sometimes, less formally, a times table) is a mathematical table used to define a multiplication operation for an algebraic system. The decimal multiplication table was traditionally taught as an essential part of elementary arithmetic around the world, as it lays the foundation for arithmetic operations ...

    [116] [117] [118] The concept that painting could be expressed mathematically, in colour and form, contributed to Cubism, the art movement that led to abstract art. [119] Metzinger, in 1910, wrote that: "[Picasso] lays out a free, mobile perspective, from which that ingenious mathematician Maurice Princet has deduced a whole geometry". [ 120 ]

    The diagonal displays an approximation of the square root of 2 in four sexagesimal figures, 1 24 51 10, which is good to about six decimal digits. 1 + 24/60 + 51/60 2 + 10/60 3 = 1.41421296... The tablet also gives an example where one side of the square is 30, and the resulting diagonal is 42 25 35 or 42.4263888...

  7. Grid method multiplication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grid_method_multiplication

    Mathematically, the ability to break up a multiplication in this way is known as the distributive law, which can be expressed in algebra as the property that a(b+c) = ab + ac. The grid method uses the distributive property twice to expand the product, once for the horizontal factor, and once for the vertical factor.

  8. Ancient Egyptian multiplication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Ancient_Egyptian_multiplication

    In mathematics, ancient Egyptian multiplication (also known as Egyptian multiplication, Ethiopian multiplication, Russian multiplication, or peasant multiplication), one of two multiplication methods used by scribes, is a systematic method for multiplying two numbers that does not require the multiplication table, only the ability to multiply and divide by 2, and to add.

  9. Quaternion group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quaternion_group

    Multiplication table of quaternion group as a subgroup of SL(2,C). The entries are represented by sectors corresponding to their arguments: 1 (green), i (blue), −1 (red), − i (yellow). The two-dimensional irreducible complex representation described above gives the quaternion group Q 8 as a subgroup of the general linear group GL ⁡ ( 2 ...
