  2. Hexadecimal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexadecimal

    Hexadecimal (also known as base-16 or simply hex) is a positional numeral system that represents numbers using a radix (base) of sixteen. Unlike the decimal system representing numbers using ten symbols, hexadecimal uses sixteen distinct symbols, most often the symbols "0"–"9" to represent values 0 to 9 and "A"–"F" to represent values from ten to fifteen.

  3. Euler's formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_formula

    Euler's formula, named after Leonhard Euler, is a mathematical formula in complex analysis that establishes the fundamental relationship between the trigonometric functions and the complex exponential function.

    It also forms the basis for the Peano axioms for formalizing arithmetic within mathematical logic. A form of unary notation called Church encoding is used to represent numbers within lambda calculus. Some email spam filters tag messages with a number of asterisks in an e-mail header such as X-Spam-Bar or X-SPAM-LEVEL. The larger the number, the ...

  5. Composition (combinatorics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composition_(combinatorics)

    In mathematics, a composition of an integer n is a way of writing n as the sum of a sequence of (strictly) positive integers.Two sequences that differ in the order of their terms define different compositions of their sum, while they are considered to define the same integer partition of that number.

  6. Basis set (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basis_set_(chemistry)

    In theoretical and computational chemistry, a basis set is a set of functions (called basis functions) that is used to represent the electronic wave function in the Hartree–Fock method or density-functional theory in order to turn the partial differential equations of the model into algebraic equations suitable for efficient implementation on a computer.

  7. Basis function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basis_function

    In mathematics, a basis function is an element of a particular basis for a function space. Every function in the function space can be represented as a linear combination of basis functions, just as every vector in a vector space can be represented as a linear combination of basis vectors .

    (The mixed basis sets are realised by introducing "ghost orbitals", basis set functions which have no electrons or protons. [2] It however has been shown that there is an inherent danger in using counterpoise corrected energy surfaces, due to the inconsistent effect of the correction in different areas of the energy surface. [ 3 ] )

    The exact origins of the LTE lemma are unclear; the result, with its present name and form, has only come into focus within the last 10 to 20 years. [1] However, several key ideas used in its proof were known to Gauss and referenced in his Disquisitiones Arithmeticae. [2]
