  2. Absolute value (algebra) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_value_(algebra)

    The standard absolute value on the integers. The standard absolute value on the complex numbers.; The p-adic absolute value on the rational numbers.; If R is the field of rational functions over a field F and () is a fixed irreducible polynomial over F, then the following defines an absolute value on R: for () in R define | | to be , where () = () and ((), ()) = = ((), ()).

  3. Absolute value - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_value

    The real absolute value function is an example of a continuous function that achieves a global minimum where the derivative does not exist. The subdifferential of | x | at x = 0 is the interval [−1, 1]. [14] The complex absolute value function is continuous everywhere but complex differentiable nowhere because it violates the Cauchy–Riemann ...

  4. Norm (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    In mathematics, a norm is a function from a real or complex vector space to the non-negative real numbers that behaves in certain ways like the distance from the origin: it commutes with scaling, obeys a form of the triangle inequality, and is zero only at the origin.

  5. Sign (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    Magnitudes are always non-negative real numbers, and to any non-zero number there belongs a positive real number, its absolute value. For example, the absolute value of −3 and the absolute value of 3 are both equal to 3. This is written in symbols as | −3 | = 3 and | 3 | = 3. In general, any arbitrary real value can be specified by its ...

  6. Archimedean property - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archimedean_property

    The field of the rational numbers endowed with the p-adic metric and the p-adic number fields which are the completions, do not have the Archimedean property as fields with absolute values. All Archimedean valued fields are isometrically isomorphic to a subfield of the complex numbers with a power of the usual absolute value. [6]

  7. Complex number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_number

    The complex numbers of absolute value one form the unit circle. Adding a fixed complex number to all complex numbers defines a translation in the complex plane, and multiplying by a fixed complex number is a similarity centered at the origin (dilating by the absolute value, and rotating by the argument).

  8. Algebraic number theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_number_theory

    There is a -adic absolute value for each prime ideal of O, and, like the p-adic absolute values, it measures divisibility. These are called finite places. The other type of place is specified using a real or complex embedding of K and the standard absolute value function on R or C.

  9. Magnitude (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    In mathematics, the magnitude or size of a mathematical object is a property which determines whether the object is larger or smaller than other objects of the same kind. . More formally, an object's magnitude is the displayed result of an ordering (or ranking) of the class of objects to which it bel
