"The rationals" refers to the set of rational numbers and is commonly denoted Q.

That portion of mathematics dealing with functions of real variables. While this includes some portions of topology, it is most commonly used to distinguish that portion of ...

A function whose range is in the real numbers is said to be a real function, also called a real-valued function.

A real matrix is a matrix whose elements consist entirely of real numbers. The set of m×n real matrices is sometimes denoted R^(m×n) (Zwillinger 1995, p. 116).

A polynomial having only real numbers as coefficients. A polynomial with real coefficients is a product of irreducible polynomials of first and second degrees.

A vector whose elements are real numbers.

A regular local ring is a local ring R with maximal ideal m so that m can be generated with exactly d elements where d is the Krull dimension of the ring R. Equivalently, R ...

An expression describing a form in which a quantity can be written. For example, all primes p>3 can be "represented as" 6n+/-1.

If pi on V and pi^' on V^' are irreducible representations and E:V|->V^' is a linear map such that pi^'(g)E=Epi(g) for all g in and group G, then E=0 or E is invertible. ...

An archaic unit fraction variously defined as 1/200 (of an hour), 1/10 or 1/12 (of an inch), 1/12 (of a celestial body's angular diameter), or 1/60 (of an hour or degree).
