  2. Identity (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identity_(mathematics)

    Thus, . In mathematics, an identity is an equality relating one mathematical expression A to another mathematical expression B, such that A and B (which might contain some variables) produce the same value for all values of the variables within a certain domain of discourse. [1][2] In other words, A = B is an identity if A and B define the same ...

  3. Identity function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identity_function

    Identity function. In mathematics, an identity function, also called an identity relation, identity map or identity transformation, is a function that always returns the value that was used as its argument, unchanged. That is, when f is the identity function, the equality f(x) = x is true for all values of x to which f can be applied.

  5. Identity element - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identity_element

    Identity element. In mathematics, an identity element or neutral element of a binary operation is an element that leaves unchanged every element when the operation is applied. [1][2] For example, 0 is an identity element of the addition of real numbers. This concept is used in algebraic structures such as groups and rings.

  6. Euler's identity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_identity

    In mathematics, Euler's identity[note 1] (also known as Euler's equation) is the equality where. is pi, the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. Euler's identity is named after the Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler. It is a special case of Euler's formula when evaluated for .

    Viète. de Moivre. Euler. Fourier. v. t. e. In trigonometry, trigonometric identities are equalities that involve trigonometric functions and are true for every value of the occurring variables for which both sides of the equality are defined. Geometrically, these are identities involving certain functions of one or more angles.

  9. Identity theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identity_theorem

    Identity theorem. In real analysis and complex analysis, branches of mathematics, the identity theorem for analytic functions states: given functions f and g analytic on a domain D (open and connected subset of or ), if f = g on some , where has an accumulation point in D, then f = g on D. [1] Thus an analytic function is completely determined ...
