n sets of s trials each, with the probability of success p constant in each set. var(x/n)=spq+s(s-1)sigma_p^2, where sigma_p^2 is the variance of p_i.

A specific prescription for carrying out a task or solving a problem. Also called an algorithm, method, or technique

The tangent plane to a surface at a point p is the tangent space at p (after translating to the origin). The elements of the tangent space are called tangent vectors, and ...

The relationship x succeeds (or follows) y is written x≻y. The relation x succeeds or is equal to y is written x>=y.

A system of equations is any set of simultaneous equations.

A function defined for all possible input values.

A set of sample problems in unconstrained optimization is given by loading Optimization`UnconstrainedProblems` and evaluating $FindMinimumProblems.

A square matrix A is antihermitian if it satisfies A^(H)=-A, (1) where A^(H) is the adjoint. For example, the matrix [i 1+i 2i; -1+i 5i 3; 2i -3 0] (2) is an antihermitian ...

An antisymmetric matrix, also known as a skew-symmetric or antimetric matrix, is a square matrix that satisfies the identity A=-A^(T) (1) where A^(T) is the matrix transpose. ...

For an n×n matrix, let S denote any permutation e_1, e_2, ..., e_n of the set of numbers 1, 2, ..., n, and let chi^((lambda))(S) be the character of the symmetric group ...
