  2. Function composition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_composition

    Note: If f takes its values in a ring (in particular for real or complex-valued f ), there is a risk of confusion, as f n could also stand for the n-fold product of f, e.g. f 2 (x) = f(x) · f(x). [12] For trigonometric functions, usually the latter is meant, at least for positive exponents. [12]

  3. Angular frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_frequency

    A sphere rotating around an axis. Points farther from the axis move faster, satisfying ω = v / r.. In physics, angular frequency (symbol ω), also called angular speed and angular rate, is a scalar measure of the angle rate (the angle per unit time) or the temporal rate of change of the phase argument of a sinusoidal waveform or sine function (for example, in oscillations and waves).

    For example, let f(x) = x 2 and g(x) = x + 1, then (()) = + and (()) = (+) agree just for = The function composition is associative in the sense that, if one of ( h ∘ g ) ∘ f {\displaystyle (h\circ g)\circ f} and h ∘ ( g ∘ f ) {\displaystyle h\circ (g\circ f)} is defined, then the other is also defined, and they are equal, that is, ( h ...

    3. Restriction of a function: if f is a function, and S is a subset of its domain, then | is the function with S as a domain that equals f on S. 4. Conditional probability: () denotes the probability of X given that the event E occurs. Also denoted (/); see "/". 5.

  6. Surjective function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surjective_function

    The function f : R → R defined by f(x) = 2x + 1 is surjective (and even bijective), because for every real number y, we have an x such that f(x) = y: such an appropriate x is (y − 1)/2. The function f : R → R defined by f(x) = x 3 − 3x is surjective, because the pre-image of any real number y is the solution set of the cubic polynomial ...

    Graphs of y = b x for various bases b: base 10, base e, base 2, base ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠. Each curve passes through the point (0, 1) because any nonzero number raised to the power of 0 is 1. At x = 1, the value of y equals the base because any number raised to the power of 1 is the number itself.

  8. Equaliser (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    A binary equaliser (that is, an equaliser of just two functions) is also called a difference kernel.This may also be denoted DiffKer(f, g), Ker(f, g), or Ker(f − g).The last notation shows where this terminology comes from, and why it is most common in the context of abstract algebra: The difference kernel of f and g is simply the kernel of the difference f − g.

  9. Limit of a function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limit_of_a_function

    The function f is continuous at p if and only if the limit of f(x) as x approaches p exists and is equal to f(p). If f : M → N is a function between metric spaces M and N , then it is equivalent that f transforms every sequence in M which converges towards p into a sequence in N which converges towards f ( p ) .
