A mathematical relationship transforming a function f(x) to the form f(x+a).

An error in a statistical test which occurs when a false hypothesis is accepted (a false positive in terms of the null hypothesis).

A cube whose edge lengths are 1. The unit cube therefore has unit volume.

A vector is formally defined as an element of a vector space. In the commonly encountered vector space R^n (i.e., Euclidean n-space), a vector is given by n coordinates and ...

Let H_nu^((iota))(x) be a Hankel function of the first or second kind, let x,nu>0, and define w=sqrt((x/nu)^2-1). Then ...

The subset {0} of a ring. It trivially fulfils the definition of ideal since it is a group (specifically, the zero group), and it is closed under multiplication by any ...

Every module over a ring R contains a so-called "zero element" which fulfils the properties suggested by its name with respect to addition, 0+0=0, and with respect to ...

Written in the notation of partial derivatives, the d'Alembertian square ^2 in a flat spacetime is defined by square ^2=del ^2-1/(c^2)(partial^2)/(partialt^2), where c is the ...

A (-1,0,1)-matrix is a matrix whose elements consist only of the numbers -1, 0, or 1. The number of distinct (-1,0,1)-n×n matrices (counting row and column permutations, the ...

"Casting out nines" is an elementary check of a multiplication which makes use of the congruence 10^n=1 (mod 9). Let decimal numbers be written a=a_n...a_2a_1a_0, ...
