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 real function is said to be analytic if it possesses derivatives of all orders and agrees with its Taylor series in a neighborhood of every point.

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

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 variable that may assume only real values.

A real vector space is a vector space whose field of scalars is the field of reals. A linear transformation between real vector spaces is given by a matrix with real entries ...

A set R of linear extensions of a partially ordered set P=(X,<=) is a realizer of P (and is said to realize P) provided that for all x,y in X, x<=y iff x is below y in every ...

The reciprocal differences are closely related to the divided difference. The first few are explicitly given by rho(x_0,x_1)=(x_0-x_1)/(f_0-f_1) (1) ...

Given a polynomial in a single complex variable with complex coefficients p(z)=a_nz^n+a_(n-1)z^(n-1)+...+a_0, the reciprocal polynomial is defined by ...

Given a rectangle BCDE, draw EF=DE on an extension of BE. Bisect BF and call the midpoint G. Now draw a semicircle centered at G, and construct the extension of ED which ...
