    Advanced level mathematics. Advanced Level (A-Level) Mathematics is a qualification of further education taken in the United Kingdom (and occasionally other countries as well). In the UK, A-Level exams are traditionally taken by 17-18 year-olds after a two-year course at a sixth form or college. Advanced Level Further Mathematics is often taken ...

  3. Proof test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof_test

    Proof test. A proof test is a form of stress test to demonstrate the fitness of a load-bearing or impact-experiencing structure. An individual proof test may apply only to the unit tested, or to its design in general for mass-produced items. Such a structure is often subjected to loads above those expected in actual use, demonstrating safety ...

  4. P versus NP problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P_versus_NP_problem

    The P versus NP problem is a major unsolved problem in theoretical computer science. Informally, it asks whether every problem whose solution can be quickly verified can also be quickly solved. Here, quickly means an algorithm that solves the task and runs in polynomial time exists, meaning the task completion time is bounded above by a ...

  5. Proof by exhaustion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof_by_exhaustion

    Proof by exhaustion, also known as proof by cases, proof by case analysis, complete induction or the brute force method, is a method of mathematical proof in which the statement to be proved is split into a finite number of cases or sets of equivalent cases, and where each type of case is checked to see if the proposition in question holds. [1]

  7. AM–GM inequality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AM–GM_inequality

    Visual proof that (x + y)2 ≥ 4xy. Taking square roots and dividing by two gives the AM–GM inequality. [1] In mathematics, the inequality of arithmetic and geometric means, or more briefly the AM–GM inequality, states that the arithmetic mean of a list of non-negative real numbers is greater than or equal to the geometric mean of the same ...

  8. Statistical proof - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistical_proof

    Statistical proof is the rational demonstration of degree of certainty for a proposition, hypothesis or theory that is used to convince others subsequent to a statistical test of the supporting evidence and the types of inferences that can be drawn from the test scores. Statistical methods are used to increase the understanding of the facts and ...
